    I was goofing on the old legend of Bill Gates saying "640K ought to be enough for anybody.” which is questionable he said it, but that’s for another thread, another time.

      Yeah, I appreciated the joke.

      I just wanted to make the point that the difference between 1080p and 4k isn’t massive, so the extra pixels w/ 8k likewise won’t be massive. Going from standard def (480i/p?) to HD was a huge jump, and even 720p to 1080p is a big improvement, but going from 1080p to 4k isn’t nearly as big of a leap. We’re well into diminishing returns.
