I am surprised Sony exited the 8K TV market, even though it's likely we will need to wait another ~5 years before we start getting mainstream 8K content (from what I read 35 mm film does map onto 8K very well). That being said, Sony electronics aren't what they used to be.
There isn't a particularly good delivery mechanism for 8K, Blu-Ray tops out at UHD/4K, and streaming is so bitrate starved 8K doesn't even matter.
Maybe the new GPMI cable will help here?
Can’t do much with a cable if the source (internet or BD) doesn’t have the source material at the adequate quality to support it.
