4k Tv's are going to be a hard sell. People switched to flat panels from CRT's becose of the look of the panel. 4k TV's look the same as HD Tv's when off and even when on know because the lack of content. also Everyone has a working flat panel most with more than one. What are you going to do with the old one when you get a 4K TV.

22 channel Dolby Atmos will never be popular in the consumer market and will only be used in very high end home theaters. Most people don't even want to spend $500 on a HTIB. Mounting and wiring 22 speakers is going to be a pain in the but. The wiring alone will be $200 plus. if you look at an average $500 HT receiver it's already packed. no room for an extra 15 channels of amplification. also quality over quantity. 22 cheap speakers are going to sound terrible. rather use the same budget and buy 5 speakers.

8k is along ways away. 10 to 15 years plus minimum. You not only have to have 8K tv's you need 8K camera's 8K cable editing software and computers, plus a way to distribute the media.
