8K monitors at 65" to 80", are those in the pipeline yet?

the offerings for 8K are today really 2x 4K screens put together horizontally.
ok, there's no gap on the monitors anymore, but resolutions are currently stuck at 6K it seems.
and that sucks.

an early adopter like me is going to bypass 6K altogether and wait for 8K in a single 70"+ curved monitor.
what do you think?

What do I think? As a videophile, I have tons of 1080 material as well as a 4K screen and have streamed lots of 4K. 4K is a subtle refinement over 1080, and 8K a subtle refinement over 4K. The exception: SOTA video games. If you are a gamer, it might be worth the money but otherwise, I say to save your money and not lose any sleep.

BTW, the advantage of 4K/8K isn't just more detail or resolution but in allowing you to maintain detail/resolution in a /smaller/ area/screen size.

i'm a full stack web developer, not a gamer / videophile ;)
i could really use all that extra pixel space at close range of my eyes.

Same difference. Whether gamer or developer, the smaller pixels will offer the same advantage as both really utilize the full resolution, unlike standard video where gradations count more than articulated detail.
 
65" to 80" are not monitors.

We call them walls.
