LG & Samsung had better stop their feud, because any sort of substantial amount of acceptance of 8k flat panels among potential TV buyers, is already facing a very steep uphill climb, without the 2 South Korean electronics competitors throwing confusion into an extremely challenging situation.
Just consider what video display test editor Kris Deering wrote after comparing 4k and 8k for Sound & Vision magazine's June/July issue. Deering wrote this: "I didn't see any clear benefit to the increase in onscreen pixels, despite viewing on an 11 foot wide screen. (I also didn't see anything that took away from the image quality either.) At this point, I feel that 4k resolution is more than enough for even the largest home theater screens and am inclined to chalk up 8k as marketing more than anything else."
(BTW, those very words by Kris Deering are found on page 36 of Sound & Vision's June/July 2019 issue)
Yeah, its readers sure didn't see Sound & Vision magazine recommending that it would be a good idea for them to start saving some of their money for a possible future purchase of an 8k TV.
And, as I mentioned elsewhere on this forum, a couple hours ago, world renowned film restoration expert, Robert A Harris, who was responsible for helping to restore such films as Spartacus, Rear Window, My Fair Lady, and Vertigo, has written that even in the case of the larger commercial movie theater screens, he considers the use of 8k to be overkill.
Also, when introducing its SXRD 4k Digital projectors to owners of commercial movie theaters, Sony was actually honest enough, in its promotional materials, to directly state that if members of a movie theater's audience, who have 20/20 vision, sit at a distance of 3 movie screen heights from the theater's screen, which corresponds to the back row of seats in most modern stadium seating movie theaters, at such a seating distance, people with 20/20 vision cannot distinguish any difference between a 2k version of a movie, and a native 4k version of the same movie. In fact, for most people to be able to derive something that approaches the full benefit of seeing the additional detail and clarity that 4k can provide, compared to 2k, audience members should really position themselves within the front third of a theater's seating.
