That’s because the answer isn’t higher resolutions, it was legally enforcing h.265 to be open source. Now the solution is AV1, but video codecs shouldn’t be locked down like that.
To act like that was ever in favor of “protecting the sciences” is a fucking joke.
No, my point was that people don’t need higher resolution TV’s, they need good transcodes that don’t look like shit.
Streaming services run at bitrates/codecs that look like dookie compared to bd rips even on my shitty $100 sceptre 1080p Amazon special TV.
Who the fuck is gonna buy an 8K oled panel when no ones willing to conveniently provide content that looks good on it, or even content that pushes their current TV to its fullest extant?
Its not like anyone can afford a GPU that renders modern games at a playable framerate to that either.
Ah, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.

Umm… ok, but that’s not really related to this article…
Everyone ditching H265 in favor af AV1 universally doesn’t make TVs sell any more or any more expensive.
