Uncompressed 1080 is already approaching the eyes resolution limit, when viewing it in a living room environment. 4K is close to the monitor usage limit.

The reason that 4K seems better is often down to bandwidth and colour depth.

There's zero benefit to an 8K TV. An 8K monitor might be useful, but is still well into the diminishing returns curve.

There's still some ground to be made up with colours and frame rates, but resolution is effectively maxed out already.

I want it, but at affordable prices

I can't see ever owning an 8k display unless it's like 200 inches... The ones that are available now are too expensive to be a justifiable purchase and there's not really an abundance of content that takes advantage of the format.

I mostly use my TV for gaming and watching old movies and anime.

The former task will be unviable at 8k and make my GPU cry, and the latter one makes 8k unnecessary.

I really don’t see the point in 8k displays right now.
