4K TVs may seem relatively new, but there's another even higher-resolution display technology already here: 8K TV. Should you upgrade? We've got the answers to that question and more.

Enraptured showgoers at CES 2019 were mesmerized by the new 8K TVs being shown off by LG and Samsung, but we could still hear the collective sigh from tech fans the world over. Why? Why in the world do we need 8K when it feels like 4K just became a thing? Is this a "planned obsolescence" scenario for TV? An attempt to force an upgrade before its time? And what about content? Is there any hope for 8K when we can barely get 4K?Those are all fair questions, and we have the answers. 

Here's everything you need to know about 8K vs. 4K vs. HD -- and why your 4K TV will be just fine for the foreseeable future.
