Been waiting and looking forward to 8k. It would make a significant difference for me.

I use a UHD/4k 40" TV as a monitor, running at native resolution. It's essentially four 1080p 20" screens in one. The pixel density is pretty good, but not "retina"/high DPI level.

Things can be a bit too small as I sit further from the screen than a regular monitor.

With 8k, it'll be four 4k 20" screens in one.

I'd be able to go to a larger screen without sacrificing much on pixel density. I would no longer have to zoom in on certain websites and can just get a larger screen.

I've seen setups like this but have never really understood the point. You're either left sitting far away and scaling everything up (reducing the resolution) which defeats the purpose of having a larger display or you're exposing your eyes to the constant light of more screen space than you can actually see and putting up with the eye strain of looking at a 1:1 virtual-to-physical pixel ratio. It seems to embody the stereotype of American consumer logic, i.e. bigger and more is always better.

The setup is fantastic for me, and would be even better with 8K screens.

I'm running at native resolution, so not doing the "sitting far away" option.

"More screen space than you can actually see" - This is somewhat true. There's an upper limit to the size where it becomes impractical for most use cases. I'd say that limit is 40"~55", and mitigated somewhat by curved screens.

It's not too different from having a large quantity of screens you'd see at say, a trading desk, but all conveniently in one screen.

When will we finally have 4 8k 20" screens in one?
