8K TVs Struggle to Find Buyers

Rapid Summary

• 8K TVs have struggled to gain market traction since their introduction in 2012, with market interest declining after peaking in 2022.
• Viewing differences between 4K and 8K TVs are minimal at normal distances, reducing consumer demand for the technology.
• Limited availability of native 8K content further diminishes the practicality of purchasing an 8K TV, as production costs for such content are significantly higher than for 4K.
• Large screen sizes (above ~100 inches) may showcase advantages of 8K resolution, but these screens remain largely impractical for typical households due to cost and space constraints.
• Choice applications where significant benefits from higher resolutions exist include cinema screens, home projection setups exceeding ~200 inches, and professional monitors used for detailed computational tasks or high-resolution visual work.
