Uneducated? Not everyone what's oled, regardless of 4k 8k panel. Instead of buying LG panels best to work on OLED QLED hybrid what samsung is doing, regardless the self emissive QLED will be more impressive imoDefinitely a marketing stunt to make people look twice when they would otherwise be drawn to OLED.
The uneducated will look at the specs, listen to the Curry's sales staff guff, and buy an inferior product which likely makes the majority of stuff you CAN watch on it (1080p) look worse than it would've done on a 4K QLED set.
There is no 8K road map in the UK, and the costs of even 4K production are currently such that 1080p will remain the primary delivery format for many years to come.
At the present time, this is utterly ridiculous.
Even if 8K was on the horizon, most enthusiasts would execute a degree of caution given the confusion already played out with HDMI versions and HDR formats.
Give it up Samsung. Buy in some OLED panels from LG until your MicroLED technology is read for prime time.
This article is about 8k televisions. Why would we talk about audio?Everybody keeps on about better picture quality but are people forgetting about sound. Having an amazing sound system when your watching a blockbuster makes all the difference buy a cracking telly and a cracking sound system job done
That's only your opinion, many people including me disagree. I went to the BBC NHK Olympics demo in 2012 that showed 8k clips from the London Olympics and the clips had more detail in them than anything i had ever seen before & any 4K i have seen since.Because the resolution of the human eye is limited, so the benefit of increased resolution is on an exponential curve at whose top 4K already sits. The jump to 4K from 1080p matters because the human eye can discern it. The human eye cannot discern a difference between 4K and 8K when sat at a normal, or even pretty close distance. 4K is very close to the limit of what we can see, 8K sails pointlessly beyond it.
8K is a marketing tool, nothing more. Don't be duped.
It would appear some are hoping these improve HD/4K analogous with those buying/bought panels and separate scalers etc. but obviously onboard in this instance.Are early adopters of 8K TVs going to find themselves with duds like those that bought early 4K TVs did?
do we have an 8k forum on here? cant find it..can see plenty of forums for tvs but not a specific 8k one?

Samsung's pushing of these sets has certainly been geared to look what it can do with existing lower res' material.
You may well have a Samsung Q900R thread to yourself for a bit with your purchase! However, next year may see more buyers' threads with 8K sets.If we don't I feel that would be a good idea personally as 8K seems to be getting a lot of hate by some so we should have a specific forum section for 8K for people who are interested. Especially since this is really the first proper 8K consumer range being released.
I wonder who is the first person who is going to start an owners thread.
Im guessing that will be me After owning a Q9FN it will be fun to compare as that's fresh in the memory.
And at Richer Sounds and elsewhere, the 85" size is £14,999. Which is very expensive of course, but not completely out of sight and I suppose it is in line with the 75" version being £6,999 - the really, really big sizes are always proportionally more expensive than even the medium-big sizes.
