Counter-intuitively perhaps, many of the benefits of 8K become readily apparent on tiny screens intended for use directly in front of one’s eyes, such as VR/AR headsets.

Discussions of resolution against screen size are meaningless without consideration of viewing distance.

For VR/AR the most important feature is be pixel density

I thought for VR it was refresh rate?

The refresh rate of the current generation of headsets is already enough for what we need. The next bottlenecks on the road to human vison like experience are peripheral field of view, pixel density and vergence-accomodation conflict.
