April fools was half year ago :P No politicians will ever ban TV of any sort. What would they do without it? |

You just know that the people who come up with these ideas have a home theatre room in their 7 bedroom luxury home. |

Virtually all tech manufacturers are publically traded companies, which focus on capitalism and being that 1pt ahead of competition in some arbitrary benchmark. 8K is better than 4K, even though you would need to set <1m from the set with 20/20 vision to see any difference. 100Hz is better than 60Hz, even though that 100Hz is only with image interpolation techniques and if you turn it off, the set can only do 50Hz (which is worse), etc. It's of best interest to the public to keep manufacturers honest. It's to the best interest of the public to keep our country wide energy bill low. There is no strict ban on the TV resolution or features. Only that the TV must offer some features at a decent performance/power e.g. efficiency ratio. We do this with cars, with houses, with whitegoods, so why not with electronics? Enforcement of regulations is to varying degrees - from a ban, to a tax increase, to an indication label that could suggest it costs a lot of money to run. That last indicator has been around for years, but if that's not enough, perhaps the other 2 measures are necessary. --- End quote --- So you surely did not read the article. None of current 8K TV will pass that standard and making them pass will make them too dim. |

However, I remember similar remarks from 4k, but when I've tested a 32 inch 4k monitor at the office, and everybody was amazed by the clarity and the details never seen before on the other less resolution monitors. I guess it's similar for 8k monitors. Can't say about 8k TV, didn't watch TV since many decades ago. I've read TV brainwashes people and makes one dumb. Stay away from TV. Better live your own life instead of a fake TV life. --- End quote --- There is quite a noticeable improvement on 4K material over full HD on my humble Samsung 42". Thats watching on broadcast TV not youtube, I can select 4K YT stuff but only in a few second clips as my BB connection speed won't fully support it, due to the pathetic UK BB infrastructure. |
