I barely watch 4k content on my 4k TV, why would I want an 8k TV? Most streaming services only do 720p anyway unless you pay a ton extra and the stars align, and even then you're probably only getting 1080p. Video game consoles kinda struggle with framerates at 4k as well.

So why bother? Give me more video inputs, better displays, and less spyware, not more pixels.

Give me more video inputs

I recommend a receiver. Then you only need one video input on the TV (and as long as it has ARC or eARC, if you DO have additional inputs on the TV their sound can still come through the receiver).
