TVs Likely to Lead 8K Content Push

What They Say

A panel at the SMPTE 2020 virtual event decided that although there are few good ways of getting 8K into the living room at the moment, but it may be a good idea to create content in the higher resolution already. Creation in 8K may be something that attracts attention, even if it is displayed in 4K.

What We Think

There is some logic to this, I guess. Back when 4K was a new idea, Toshiba showed a very good demonstration of how FullHD content created from UltraHD source material looked better than content that was created natively at FullHD. However, it would seem that streaming is going to be almost the only way to get 8K for quite a long time. (BR)
