8K TVs are already boring — here's what I want from my next TV

Samsung QN900C TV.

An 8K resolution isn't the feature that will sell me on my next TV purchase. This is going to sound controversial, but as someone who covers TVs and has reviewed countless models over the years, I’m ready to stop upgrading TV resolution every 10 years or so and focus on other ways to make a TV’s image better. 

Yes, I'm happy that I upgraded from standard definition (480i) in the 90s and early 2000s to high definition (720p) in the mid 2000s; to Full HD (1080p) in the mid 2000s; and finally 4K in the mid 2010s. But at this point it’s more or less impossible to see individual pixels at most screen sizes.
