It's the next 3D.

They try to expand in all dimensions. Bigger panels. Higher res. Higher bit depth. Increased contrast ratios. Stereoscopics. Higher refresh rates.

Yet to find a real world use for anything over a 65" QHD at 60Hz 8bpp.

    Look, you're happy with a mid-range setup, good for you. 

    But sticking your head in the sand pretending that there aren't affordable features that improve the experience is Fedora wearing nerd shit.

    The fedora-wearing nerds are ones with 244Hz ultrawide 4k HDR monitors.

    What you're describing is everyone who just wants to watch a TV show comfortably on their sofa. You could swap any TV for a base-model TCL the same size and they won't notice.

    Even the gamers won't want 8K. You'd notice the drop on FPS more than the increase in quality.
