Have you upgraded to a 4K monitor yet? Chances are you haven’t, especially if what you do with your computer doesn’t require a higher resolution. Big monitors are expensive, there are a lot more options to consider when buying one than there used to be, and if you want to push a lot of pixels, you’ll need a more powerful computer too.
If you are staring at a 4K - or even a 5K - screen all day, wondering how you coped with a mere 1080p model, you might be starting to think about 8K. It looks like the next obvious step on the monitor upgrade path, and bigger numbers are always better, but with 32-inch monitors such as the Dell UltraSharp UP3218KA and the brand-new ASUS ProArt PA32KCX costing many thousands whether you price them in pounds, dollars or euros, and 8K TVs like the 77in LG Z3 coming in at about twice the price of similarly sized 4K OLEDs, 8K is a massive investment that you’ll need a good professional reason to go for.
