You mean like these:

Not tri-color LEDs, but millions of each RGB color

I do not see much point in 4K and 8K TVs.

No one broadcasts in that resolution.

Funny how I watched The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime at 4K.

And even if you're favourite ****ty broadcaster doesn't yet, they will long before your new 4K TV wears out.

You must have missed my followup post where I specified over the air stations.

People still use that system? Even Sky TV in the UK is considering moving to internet only. So many advantages, like being able to watch anything at any time you like.

I don't think TV stations are in any hurry to spend the big bucks to go to the
ATSC 3.0 standard.

It took forever to go to digital.

When most people have a 4K or better TV, any station broadcasting 4K will get all the customers.

Sadly that is probably true, whether or not those stations are the ones
broadcasting the programmes that people want to watch. It's the equivalent
of saying (as I remember people saying when colour TV began, though not in
these words) "I'd rather watch crap in colour than a decent programme in
black and white".

There are still people* who watch movies on DVD, so I'd guess that 1080
will still draw some folks after 4k is here.

*I call those people "not me".

Why sadly? Would you watch black and white?

Yes, if it was the programme I wanted to see. I'd wish it had been made in
colour, or that a colour copy still existed, but I'd still watch.

I don't. No more than I'd go on a roller coaster with a blindfold on. Removing most of the information makes the experience not worthwhile.
