I'll give you my advice as someone that still has a 8k Q900R from 2019. If it's under 5k in price for a 85" and it's mini-led and you plan to use it as a PC display it can be worth it. The ppi is incredible at the bigger sizes and Sony ones have great upscaling.
There's some for audio/video-philes. But really nothing worth going 8k yet. Plus the 8k tech is only worth it in OLED right now. While mini LEDs are nice, they really need to move to the micro LED infrastructure to make it worth it for LEDs TVs.
8k is for early adopters, but if they don't make the equipment, nobody will produce content for it. The great thing about 8k is it will push the displays larger and the bandwidth up. The other advantage of 8k is for digital art. You really need at least 250 DPI for a reasonable facsimile of real life.
I could see 8k being somewhat useful in theater displays, but it's pointless in the home. I think 8K might actually have it's place for home, but in VR. Even 4K displays up that close to the eye, higher pixel density could be useful. But the cost of 8K panels will make any affordable 8K VR many years away, if VR isn't dead by then.
I'm in the market for a new TV - happy with my old 2018 Samsung QLED but am moving house and that one is going down to the basement - looking at the Samsung QLED website I see that they now have an 8k model, has anyone here made the upgrade? Is it worth it? How does the upscaling work?
The only 8k tvs worth buying are the Sony and LG Z series and they're not cheap. The 8k sets you've listed don't even perform as well as 4k flagships
The 8K TV is equipped with MediaTek’s custom-made Wi-Fi 6 chip. Samsung’s 2020 QLED 8K TVs also comes equipped with the AI-deep learning processor that will automatically upscale non-8K content to near 8k. (This is one of the things that I really liked and found it to be impressive)
