    It already happened to them multiple times that’s why we are on HDMI 2.2 which can go up to:

    7680 × 4320 @ 60FPS

    HDMI 1.0 could only reach:

    1920 x 1080 @ 60FPS

    The only reason it still works is because they keep changing the specifications.

    And I think I can confidently say we will never need more than 8K since we are reaching the physical limits of the human eye or at the very least it will never be considered low resolution.

      Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.

        USB can do that as well, using Displayport alt mode. And it doesn’t need Intel’s fees.

        Also, 3D. LOL

          Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.

          3D is important for stuff like VR, there’s a reason it’s the predominant cable for headsets.

        But can it spy on users for marketing purposes? That’s the real question.

      I can see more than 8k being useful but not really for home use. Except possibly different form factors like VR, not sure on that one either though.

        Na, when you go any higher in commercial use you just use multiple cables, HDMI 2.2 can only reach 10ft as it is if you lower the bandwidth it can go farther, I could see a optical video standard for commercial use though.
