Ok so 8K demos should start appearing in stores in 2019 with blurays set to arrive in 2020-2021. Tech is now moving fast.
If the TV/Bluray tech is expensive the only reason will be greed as the resolution increase has already been locked down and is costing the companies very little to reproduce. Not talking about HDR just resolution, the HDR side of the tech will remain the same.
Only true high cost is on the broadcast/internet delivery infrastructure side of things which is seperate than the TV/Bluray tech.
Enjoy your 4K discs for another 3 years lol
Jeez imagine Star Wars movies in 8K
Maz's face will be truly horrifying scarier than Pennywise lol
After 8K I just won't give a crap anymore they've got enough of my money.
My eyes and enjoyment of the movie will not benefit from 16K.
It gets to a point where reinvesting into movies just becomes too over the top regardless of your income level.
Maybe after 8K we'll get VHS releases again lol
But seriously if you haven't invested in 4K yet my recommendation it to just wait!
Going from 1080pHD to 8K will be truly noticeable especially with the rumor that 3D will be making a big comeback with the 8K format.

I'm not certain what 3D will be like by then. 1080p, 4K or 8K, glasses free...who knows.
2020 Olympics will be broadcast in 8K!

If 4K SW is announced i'm not waiting for 8K.
SW is my only weakness lol.
SW is my only weakness lol.
Word is that TLJ will be the first 4K SW home release. So be prepared for Rose and sparkling Snoke robes in all their radiance, lol.
Otherwise if 8K really is just three years away then yeah I'll keep my 3D 1080p TV until then.

Yeah lets see I mean one thing is certain is that Olympics 2020 will be the launching event for 8K.
My guess is that they will also go from 10bit to 12bit colors which would be awesome but 12bit should've already been implemented for 4K.
Hold on to your 3D movies.

1080P and 3D for me.
I haven't even invested in any 4K and probably won't.
Obviously, if my current gear takes a crap on me, and/or 65" and larger 4K screens drop to dirt cheap prices then I'll go 4K, but for now there's no point.

Sounds sensible.
I own a 4K tv but haven't invested into the movies like I did with 1080p and i'm reluctant to do so now.
