Nice, when i first heard of 4k and asking my self what it really was, doing some research found 8k existed as well. From the information presented they mentioned 8k is where the human eye can't distinguish any higher resolution, but can't remember what size of tv they were talking about. Ever since then when hearing about 4k the question for me always comes up why bother with 4k, why not 8k. Nice to see there might be something to help drive it to market.

8K will be the last step before holographic IMO.

Holograms will also make their way to the portable storage market too I bet way down the line.

I wonder if by then we'll be complaining about our fibre being too slow to handle the bandwidth required? lol
