I can't see 5k being a long term thing, given the past history of period
doubling.

The curved screen thing if subtle might be a real benefit if the screen
becomes so big you start to notice the world isn't flat, but otherwise I
just assumed it's "
hey look at this, isn't it shiny"

And lastly - resolution versus size and distance is already well past
useful...

Got a ways to go in the 4K screen size (at say 140in diag size @ 10 ft/3.3
m) before 8k begins to even be distinguishable...
