![]() Video that we watch at home is compressed, to make it easier to get it to us, whether that's via Blu-ray, broadcast or Netflix. Laser projectors like this Sony offer incredible quality using the same kind of tech as theaters – so could we get even better movie quality to match? (Image credit: Sony) Theater quality at home… or better? No, if we get a more advanced home viewing experience, we don't need more pixels. The best 8K TVs have their place, but 8K isn't going to ease into becoming the norm like 4K did. And visual effects aren't created at 8K either – so even if the footage is high-res enough, all the other stuff in the frame isn't. Very few use 8K cameras – even the likes of the hugely expensive Avengers: Endgame use 6K cameras. That goes double for more recent movies, filmed digitally. Eventually, maybe all TVs will be 8K – but right now, there's basically zero 8K content in the world, and that's not going to change any time soon, not even by going to back to old movies and capturing the film again.ĭepending on how to you want to 'measure' it, 35mm film is generally considered to be able to provide somewhere between 4K and 6K resolution when digitized, so there'd be no point in trying to turn the world's library of movies into 8K. The obvious answer might be 'more resolution', but that's not what I'd be interested in. So what would we do with all that extra data? Forget 8K ![]() That is a lot more than the maximum bitrate of 4K Blu-ray video, which is around 16MB/s. ![]()
