Doesn’t make much sense anyway. More than 5k is only wasted computing power/bandwith.
Comment on HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

“…whenever we have 8K TVs and content.”
The TVs exist, but there won’t be content for years and years. Companies barely stream usable 4K right now.

Japan has had an 8K TV channel since 2018, they really thought that would take on a lot quicker haha

I think there are less 8k TVs now than 4 years ago. Some lessons were learned
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Because the bitrate over streaming is garbage. Get physical media if you want good 4k.

This is a genuine question but—what physical media? Blu-ray players are no longer being produced by name brands, and DVDs certainly aren’t capable of storing the data.

I just looked at my nearest brick and mortar store‘a website and they have a broad selection of LG, Sony, and Panasonic Blu-ray players in stock.
Telorand@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
Oh yeah. They’re still in stock, but there was an article not that long ago that said LG was the last in a line of name brands that have stopped producing them. So what stock is left is the last of it.

Shield Pro + Plex = Blu Ray streaming

That doesn’t sound like physical media. Still sounds like streaming, so isn’t it still beholden to the same problematic VBR issues as other platforms?
