So, just putting some probes out, but is anyone here interested in 8k, or are people satisfied / overwhelmed by 4k.
I am not just talking about gaming, I am sure that the PC scene will be there pretty soon.
But for media consumption / creation, productivity, photography, bragging rights and future proofness.
Does anyone here already have a 4k panel, and if so what have been your impressions on the increased pixel count.
As for me, I love it.
I will be getting an 8k display as I am able to get a good quality, 8k HDR OLED monitor for ~$1000.
I have enjoyed my 4k monitor for over two years (perhaps even three) now, but I wish I had spent more money, and got a higher quality panel.
That is something I won't repeat again.
UI scaling is pretty bad, Steam on Linux does not scale to 4k, and I have to sit real close to read text, and there are more examples I could bring up (but cannot be bothered to confirm to see if that is still the case).
Playing games in 4k is pretty incredible, not perfect but if you are used to 720p, 900p or 1080p, you will surly will notice the clarity (unless you are blind).
Don't bother with Youtube's 4k video, that sucks.
Digital Foundry's videos are pretty good though, when they aren't doing console stuff.

1. There are currently no plans for consumer level 8K OLED screens.
2. The only announced 8K screen (Dell) is priced at $5000; five times your shamefully minsinformed price estimate.
3. Using an OLED as a computer monitor or gaming TV is beyond ignorant, due to the obscene levels of burn-in OLEDs suffer from. If you truly desire a self-emitting screen, wait for QLEDs to take their next step.

1. A thread about future tech, talks about stuff that is not yet announced...
2. That is a professional screen, it has a very high markup (and early adopters tax) and has been professionally colour calibrated (as well as some cool pro features).
In 5 or so years we should see reasonable priced 8k OLED.
3. I am well aware of the burn in problem, and my desktop does not have much static content, so I am fine.
Also OLED vs QLED; QLEDs are not self emitting.
Suggesting a QLED over an OLED is like saying "get a pet cat" to someone who really wants a pet bear.
