Everyone ditching H265 in favor af AV1 universally doesn’t make TVs sell any more or any more expensive.

No, my point was that people don’t need higher resolutions, they need good transcoded that don’t look like shit.
Streaming services run at bitrates/codecs that look like cookie compared to bd rips even on my shitty $100 sceptre 1080p Amazon special TV.
Who the fuck needs an 8K when no ones willing to conveniently provide content that looks good on it, especially legally?

Ah, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.
