Probably been posted already... if so, noob me. I'm too hungover to search right now:

Test broadcasts in 2020? At least they're planning ahead...

What are they shooting 8k with?

 

[cheapass]

Could be 8k scanned IMAX. I'd love to know what the hell they'd be using to play it back. Haha, I'm trying to imagine asking compressor to make an 8k h264 and seeing it not explode.

Well that, or they could just simply show regular 4k footage shot with Red and tell everyone it's 8k because honestly who would notice the difference?

Okay, call me the noob. Okay, I know the Red shoots at 4k, and now this Tv plays 8K. How the heck does this relate to resolution? 1080p/i I get

Let's just hope the actual CONTENT on broadcasts is better than it has been for the past decade.

Exactly and what are they playing it with? Does this mean we'll end up on some interim format like 4k?

 

[Blade Borge]

wow 16x the display of 1080, how will I ever be able to go back to this crummy old format now...it disgusts me I tells ya.

 

[TimurCivan]

Know what else is 8k?

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!!!! Don't hold your breath! If i8k is implemented, we will get 6 months of beautiful slo mo helicopter shots of the Grand Canyon, the Himalaya mountains, the Amazon rainforest, ect... then back to BS reality shows and procedural cop shows. I can't wait to see the 2021 season of "CSI: Beijing" in 8k!!!

True. Plus, it'll take at least until 2030 until Orange-ray players have battled it out against Super-HD-DVD and then gone down in price enough to be affordable (same with the movies).

I reckon my 50 inch Samsung plasma will need to change by then anyway. It's only got a 40 000 hour life expectancy.

As an early adopter of HDTV (2001), I rather liked the Pretty Pictures channels.
