I'm perfectly happy with my 1080p TV. I can't tell the difference to a 4K TV while sitting on my couch. Why would anyone want an 8K TV?

Boils down to bigger TVs. A 50inch tv at 1080p doesn't look so bad. But project it onto something much bigger and things start to look pixelated. 8k sounds like a nice resolution for people who have projectors with 3m diagonals.

it mostly looks pixelated because US uses mpeg2 and low bitrates.
