Streaming services and other online media routed through the TV can hardly buffer to keep up with play speed at 720
This is a problem with your internet/network, not the TV.
8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum.
65-75" tv's are pretty much the standard these days. I've got a 75" and I'll want the next one I replace it with to be even bigger, so 100"-ish will be what I'll be after.
Some of these devices have even been known to look for other similar devices within WiFi range, and phone home that way (i.e., send analytics data via a neighbor’s connected TV as a proxy).
It's not just Australia, it's worldwide. People don't care about physical media anymore because the benefits of digital far outweigh the drawbacks.
I want 8K TVs, but only when there's abundant native 8K content to watch on it - otherwise there is no point.
I don't see politicians condemning the people standing beside those shouting for the death of australia/white people/etc at any of the pro-palestine rallies, so why should this be any different?
A few dickheads go along to these things, it doesn't mean everyone there is a dickhead - no matter what the protest is for.
If you had empathy for "those who would suffer the most", that means you should have empathy for them now because they're already homeless/living in poverty/unable to afford to live - but you don't care because you don't want the literal only thing that can fix the cost of living crisis to happen.....because you have "empathy" for them?
How is anything I've said racist?
I want specific examples, with quotes.
Keep going with the name calling and cries of racist, you're only hurting your own bizarre cause.
There aren't really any 1440p TVs out there. They're either 1080p or 4K.
