I've been looking for a new monitor, but have been holding out because I knew something like this would show up. Hope it's going to not cost a small fortune, something I sure it will. Haha

Awesome specs, but too early, IMO. 4K still in the very early stages of adoption. Would be cool to see in person, though. I wasn't overly impressed with 4K in side-by-side comparisons with 1080, but this should be more noticeable; especially in 60" + models.

While I cannot dispute the fact that 8k is better than 4k (which is better than 1080P), ditching 4K before it's even fully implemented is just going to piss off consumers; especially those that just dropped $2K on that shiny new 4K TV. Most consumers are still happy with their 1080P, including myself. 4K media is still M.I.A., and many households don't have the bandwidth (or ISPs) that can handle that much info yet.

The whole article it seams mislead:
This TV's still in the 4K range, since the small # is the one take it in consideration as the commander of the range.
Example:
7,680 * 4,320 = 4320 = 4K
1,920 * 1,080 = 1080 HD
1,280 * 720 = 720 HD
640 * 480 = 480
640 * 360 = 360
etc.

4K UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920x1080 (2.07 megapixels).
8K UHDTV (4320p) is 7680 pixels wide by 4320 pixels tall (33.18 megapixels), which is sixteen times as many pixels as current 1080p HDTV, which brings it closer to the detail level of 15/70 mm IMAX.[4][13][14] NHK advocates the 8K UHDTV format with 22.2 surround sound as Super Hi-Vision.555

The one you call 4K as you say is actually a 2K.
no !?
P.S.
What I see:
This TV makers want to use the higher # as a marketing tool.
Just saying.

I agree and I think this is why some will struggle to see the leap over 1080p, yes it's better but it is not the step forward dome might be expecting.
That's why I think it should die a death & be forgotten before it goes too far.
8k will stand out, 4k nothing like so much.
