I found quite some 4k movies being more noisy than their 2k pendant. So whats the point?

maybe that was the remastering process issues. also maybe 4k movies are not actually 4ks and are AI upscalers from actual 2k masters.
I'd buy a 8k TV, provided that it has no smarts, no WiFi, no TV tuner and its price isn't over 5% than a 4k TV
Makes sense:
No Media support.
And also on Monitors and Tvs i don't care if it's a. 1080p or 1440p of 4k give me 1080p
Yeah until I can get a 8ki instead of 8kp I'll hold off /s
Fr though both sound similarly ridiculous
One thing, my current 4k TV/monitor does a pretty nice job upscaling 1080p. It, of course, doesn't look as good as native 4k, but it looks considerably better than 1080p not upscaled. So even without native 8k content, there is some value in being able to upscale 4k content to 8k.
BR standards haven’t caught up, that’s probably the answer for most who can afford it.
