Maybe my eyesight is going as I get older, but whenever I check out super high res devices like 4K televisions and high res apple laptops, I am not blown away in the least. Maybe it's because the DPI increase becomes irrelevant at certain sizes (and maybe this number is different for everyone)

Actually it probably has more to do with not buying into hype than my eyesight, but who knows

According to NHK (Japan's national TV network), 4K is a stopgap. They are already looking forward to (and demoing) 8K, which will launch in 2020. 4K is just here to get people to buy new shit until then.

IMO, 8K is where the "CRT to HDTV" like paradigm shift will occur. Oh and BTW the next surround sound standard will apparently be 22.2 channel 3D audio
