By that time, 8K TVs were much more reasonably priced, but still in high-end territory. I got my initial glimpse of the first mainstream 8K TVs a little before that, in late 2019. To make up for the lack of content in their original resolution, 8K TVs will upscale lower-resolution footage to match theirs. That’s a lot of coin, especially considering the lack of native 8K content I mentioned above. Rather than spending so much money on one 8K TV, consider investing in an excellent 4K TV and a soundbar, or a full surround sound system.
