The 8K screens are here, yes. At US$100+ an inch they will not be common for a long while. Some sell for more than cars, like an LG 77 for US$20K. Prices in the camera world are really strange, by that I mean high. And the high prices shrink the market. Not my problem, though. 8K is here, yes. But outside of a narrow market I do not think a big seller. The average guy is just not that interested. The consumer end for curved screens was a bust and I do not see folks walking out of Costco with too many 8K TV's either. The global pandemic has caused an economic slowing. Not everyone has a lot of disposable income. I do hope they come down to less than the price of an automobile. And then there is the problem of color accuracy.

I may just go out and get a box Brownie. LOL

[QUOTE="Boojum, post: 12149, member: 3485"] The 8K screens are here, yes. At US$100+ an inch they will not be common for a long while. Some sell for more than cars, like an LG 77 for US$20K. Prices in the camera world are really strange, by that I mean high. And the high prices shrink the market. Not my problem, though. 8K is here, yes. But outside of a narrow market I do not think a big seller. The average guy is just not that interested. The consumer end for curved screens was a bust and I do not see folks walking out of Costco with too many 8K TV's either. The global pandemic has caused an economic slowing. Not everyone has a lot of disposable income. I do hope they come down to less than the price of an automobile. And then there is the problem of color accuracy.
