Currently still expensive, i was curious to have a look at the prices at some websites and noticed all 8K TV`s were in Catergory G for energy efficiency; which is the lowest possible rating!. I decided to type into search engine "Which is the most energy efficient 8K TV" and did not to seem to want tell me. Instead it spewed up numerous headlines from various sources saying there`s a huge clampdown on TV makers:  On March 1, 2023,  stricter requirements including a lower maximum level for power consumption will be imposed on all new TVs produced reports flatpanelshd.
If you are in the  UK; well i couldnt find anything about it, so seeing as UK is no longer in the EU i guess you can go nuts and get one if you can afford to buy and run one!

Why do u need an 8K TV? Well...and interesting feature i noticed whilst perusing 8K TV`s is (some, dont know if they all do this) they have special A.I hardware inside to upscale lower resolutions to 8K on the fly! Pretty neat eh. dust off those old DVD`s and give it a go. definitly a curiousity to see how well it would play on a 75" 8K screen.:_:D:_:P:_:-)

i dont own 4k either,  just got a 55" 1080p TV  which uses 27watts I was reading a few years back when they made an 11k TV. One of the things they didnt anticipate was that it produced a unexpected 3D effect on the eyes when it`s not supposed to be a 3D TV!

On trying to find information for these 8k TV`s mainly out of curiousity i`m not sure if this can A.I upscale DVD`s or not. Their so called Quantum chip just seems to be a marketing ploy and doubt it uses quantum computing. The upscale A.I says it uses neural networks and says it wont do incoming PC hdmi input?? so i`m guessing this will be some sort of spyware reliant system which depends on having an internet connection and using the built in web apps to play content i.e netflix, amazon etc to spy on your viewing habits. It would be great if it had HDMI input and outputs to  A.I upscale and save to pc drive. Perhaps someone else  knows more about these TV``s?
