Cinematography impact. I saw my first 8k TV yesterday.

I saw my first 8k yesterday, and was surprised how easily I could see pixels.

I positioned myself in a good angle of view, as you should always in these tests, forgetting about distance to get the most immersive angle of view without looking around the screen. If you need more distance, get a bigger TV.

Yes, it did look better, except for the poor Samsung colour of this year. But looking at the high contrast fade in Samsung logo in tbe top right I could see pixels. I realised the logo must have been lower than 8k. Looking at the logo on a Sony Fullhd TV running the save demo, the logo pixelisation looked similar. The colour on the maybe $600US TV didn't look inferior to the maybe $6600US 8k TV, nor did the contrast on the demo. Are Samsung mad?


Have to wait till I see a proper 8k demo. I have done distance tests to emulate higher resolutions at a good field of view before (for your 4k TV you find the immersive fov sweet spot and stand back double the distance back to get 8k). Several feet is something closer to 120 inch 16:9 (70 inches is a lot narrower fov).

I suspect we will see micro led coming in better than last years Q series. LG does the same thing, offers inferior LCD models alongside the premium OLED line. Other manufactures should not. Have a look at latest 8k Sharp TV's coming out for a better idea of an 8k LCD TV.

Been debating with friends about 8k TV. We're expecting high price for the first year so I will wait till good reviews came out.

Pricing, yes.
Go to redsharknews and read their 8k articles.

How big was the TV?
This is the reason why I like Mac screens (or phones screens) with it's high DPI. It creates more "organic" look. Seeing pixels on TV is not good- it distracts you. TVs have quite low DPI and people seat way to far from them by average (and complain about not big difference between HD and SD).

i sized by field of view, basically same effect whatever, practical, size. might have been 65inches

I forget, it would be over 6 feet for an 120 inch screen.

So between 6 to around 12 feet for 120 inch.
