And 8k TVs can be added to the list: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/lg-joins-the-rest-of-the-world-accepts-that-people-dont-want-8k-tvs/

Not a big surprise, really. In order to even see the difference, one had to have a large viewing space and the TV had to be around 75-inches. Both of which were mighty impractical in a typical viewing space. 8k would have also required a lot of storage space for films, which would mean beefier streaming services or a new disc standard. That doesn’t even mention how large game files would need to be. With 4k, they’re already pushing 100 GBs.

Monitors are another matter entirely as it means more windows open and a larger workspace without losing detail.
