No. There is no content for it and it is utterly useless. Look at the viewing distance charts for different resolutions. To see a difference between 4k and 8k you'd need to sit too close to the TV to even be able to see the edges.
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. An 8k 32" screen would make an excellent painting replacement.
Yes it's pointless. There's no 8k media to consume (physical or steaming). You'd have to sit quite a bit closer to the TV than you're used to for a fairly minor visual improvement. 8k TVs also consume about twice as much power as a good 4k TV.
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?
Don't, 8K gaming is so far off to the point that when you actually will be gaming comfortably at 8K every single damn feature of that TV will be outdated and the panel while 8K will not be anything near the quality, energy efficiency, or color accuracy of the time. Remember, 4K was possible in 2001, and that isn't even really mainstream yet!
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.
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
