I get that and agree with you, but the early adopters will be the ones funding this for the majority in the near future and it is pointlessly expensive for many users right now. But that was really my point, you do need 4 times the bandwidth for very marginal gains whereas VHS to DVD or DVD to HD were big and very noticeable steps.

To be fair to Sky, for them to handle 4k is a big deal, it requires a massive technology up-lift for them because the bandwidth they require at the head-end is vast (~12Gbps per channel). They are being careful about launching 4k because it is so difficult to do well and BT Sport are also not doing much with 4k, but it is a competition thing, someone says they are testing some piece of tech and others follow for fear of missing out on customers.

I read somewhere that anything beyond 8k cannot be resolved by the human eye and therefore there is no point in going further in terms of resolution. I know that that NHK in Japan have been experimenting with 8k.

8K is also known as Super-Hi Vision, while TVs might be sold with 8k it is utterly pointless. I've seen a 4x4k LG OLED display in person which was amazing but even at +150in it was clear that the resolution was unnecessarily high.

I always thought this too. As a technology proof of concept it's great but we're really at marginal gains - the last decent boost was from DVD to 720p HD, beyond that, sure it's better but you have to shunt more pixels and use exponentially more bandwidth to get there. I suppose it's just a way for companies like Sky to charge stupid prices and justify it...

I have the 65" version of this TV and I'm very happy with it. upscale HD looks great and Netflix 4K even better. I accept that more expensive models will give an even better picture but for me they don't deliver enough of an improvement to justify the extra expense. Others will not agree though. if you are looking for a big TV and you are on a budget I would at least go and have a look at one.

Those who want proper 4k content have a mediocre handful of 4k bluray movies to choose from. Of course that requires a compatible bluray player and there's only two of those to pick from. There aren't any true 4k Streams available on Netflix and Amazon etc. The weather are so compressed it's barely full hd. Yea I've got a very good 4k hdr TV. I use it for gaming and its brilliant. They same goes for uoscaled blu ray. I've only seen the demos for 4k which are breathtaking. And that is it. It's pointless me buying a 4k bluray player because of a lack of decent content. Basically it doesn't matter how much or little you pay for your 4k hdr TV. There's hardly a thing to watch. Those who think stuff like Marco polo looks good need their eyes testing. Try it against a movie on bluray like gone with the wind from 1939 and the uoscaled ancient movie will look better than anything available on 4k stream. Just wait until the isp bring back download caps. And your bills will soar. I guarantee once they have the masses streams pseudo 4k they will bring back the caps.

So if UHD is 4k then what's 8k? Very ultra high? Really HD?

Yup me too, I bought the K6400 expecting it to be HDR too as advertised. Was disappointed to find it wasn't full HDR and I couldn't even watch UHD Blu Rays in 4K HDR.

TFFT. God knows how many people have been mugged off thinking their £600 HDR set is actually HDR.

K6000 isn't the best model
BTW there's an update that removes 'HDR' it's now called UHD colour as it wasn't true HDR lol.
Samsung are no longer advertising new 8 bit sets as HDR. The boxes say enhanced colour instead
