4k is not the dominant resolution for some media like twitch streams. There are also lots of people who still don’t have Internet fast enough to stream native 4k. It could help with older YouTube videos, as well.
I need to look for the statistics again but most media is still served at 1080p. If you look at the most popular YouTubers however the skew is towards 4k because Google wants to tout that number, however the bitrate is comparable to 20mbit 1080p
In a world where 4k is the dominant resolution. I find it hard to see a use case for this. I don’t have an 8k TV no one I know does either.

After I made the comment I thought about all of those old 360p videos on YouTube. If it can make those look better then I can see the appeal.
From the demo it seems to help make SDR hardware show more clarity for HDR scenes.
The world is such a a shitty place because so many people are certain their anecdotal experiences are the way the world is.
Woah check out the rich guy with nothing but 4K panels… can we party at your house? You know, since you’re so fucken loaded?
I’d never let you poors stink up my mansion.
