If you look at the Steam hardware survey you’ll find the majority of gamers are still rocking 1080p/1440p displays.

What gamers look for is more framerate not particularly resolution. Most new gaming monitors are focusing on high refresh rates.

8K feels like a waste of compute for a very diminished return compared to 4K. I think 8K only makes sense when dealing with huge displays, I’m talking beyond 83 inches, we are still far from that.

Gaming aside, 4K is desirable even on <30" displays, and honestly I wouldn't mind a little bit more pixel density there to get it to true "retina" resolution. 6K might be a sweet spot?

Which would then imply that you don't need a display as big as 83" to see the benefits from 8K. Still, we're talking about very large panels here, of the kind that wouldn't even fit many computer desks, so yeah...
