Super Hi-Vision TV 16x more HD than HD
BBC News - Super Hi-Vision 8K TV standard approved by UN agency

I've been reading about the 4k pass-thru on new receivers, and the upscaling features (4k) some sets like the OLED soon to hit the market promise to have.
8k, that's new to me. Any idea how UN's communication standards could affect US and Canadian standards?

What are people hoping to see with the ultra high resolution?
I don't want to see Holmes schtulping Chambers in that much resolution. Porn looks just fine in standard definition, and with "soft focus".

Probably sports... I'm not a sports guy, but I would LOVE to see F1 and MotoGP in that kind of resolution.

The only place that super high res like this will be useful is on really large screens or if you're sitting on top of a smaller one.

Is this going to be like the "HD" sunglasses I see on tv at 5 in the morning. I thought the human eye was about the limit of resolution.
