8k gaming? In this economy? That’s a niche that less than 0.1% of people can even afford
Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

Would love to replace my 4x 1440p monitor setup with a 50 inch 8k TV setup.

Gaming would be done at 4k. It’s 8k for productivity.

I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.

That would be nice for CAD work, but it would have to be an actual PC monitor, not a TV. 42 inch would be just about right for my desk. The only ones I’ve seen are 32 inch, which is too small to replace four monitors.

I’ve got a 43" 4k Gigabyte Aorus display. 144hz+freesync, dual hdmi+usb-c+DP with a hub and all that. It’s IPS, they had an OLED but it was 48" and more money than I could justify at the time.
Definitely recommend, but 8k would be so much better. I know this article is primarily “no 8k TVs” but the panels are used across many segments and I fear they will no longer have manufacturering setup for 8k for desktop use either at this rate.

I think 50 inch is about the upper end for what can fit on a desk, but a 42 inch is the upper limit for most. I used to have a 42inch 4k monitor, but it broke and got discontinued.
I still miss that display.

Presuming you mean 4x 2560x1440 there, you can have close enough to that pixel count today; one of the things Dell released at CES this year was a 52" 6144x2560 display (U5226KW).
Since it's intended to be a monitor, you get a USB hub, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and other things you wouldn't get on a TV, too.
I've been looking at it longingly, but I can't quite justify that pricetag right now.

Its a step in the right direction.
Not quite the aspect ratio I am looking for and the price is too eye watering.
What I want is an 8k 16:9 or 16:10 display for around double the price of a 4k display at the same price as a high end 4k TV (OLED or mini led)
