    8k is not anything new... In screens and tv's it is new. But i know people who render things out in 8k so they can be blown up to massive sizes... Such as billboard adverts

    8K! Holy cow but I can just imagine how clear that must be. I saw one of those really expensive 4K Samsung televisions and it was amazing. Though using DSTV you only get 720p so I don't really see the point at this stage.

    As far as I know, the human eye/brain will not be able to comprehend more than 8k. If they do produce 16k televisions it would purely be for the size.

    We all know they'll do that anyway.

    I hate 3D with a passion! It's such a waste of time. Now holograms... that's something to watch.

    Did you know that Sony, in an attempt to win the bid for the 2014 soccer world cup for Japan(I stand to be corrected on this date), promised to have life sized holograms broadcast to certain stadiums around the world. Imagine watching a live soccer match in a stadium but the players are holograms.

    Like we really need to see the pores of actors and actresses in such vivid detail. But to be honest I won't mind, I will only rage if some media format other than Blu-Ray comes out and they start remastering movies I have already bought on Blu-Ray once again for 8K! So long as new movies come out in 8K and they still managed to squeeze it onto a single disc and keep it compatible with current players I will be happy.

    Optimal TV size works roughly like this: Taking viewing distance and divide by 2.5 to get the best screen size. So if your sofa is about 3m from the TV, you will need a screen with a diagonal of about 1.2m (or ~47inches). So for a 40inch TV, ideally you'll be sitting about 2.5m from the screen.
    This is just a rough formula and your optimal distance may vary.
    One day, I'll grow up and become responsible.
    Probably not today.

    Well that is my range roughly and because i'm using glasses when only i watch TV but that's how i roughly worked it out too but it would have been nice to have a 46" just for the sake of having one
