People cant see 4k resolution from normal sofa viewing distances. Why do we need 8k televisions? Besides the tv industry needing a new resolution to sell more TVs?

I can tell the difference between 4k and 1080p from my couch on a 55" TV.

I doubt I could tell the difference between 4k and 8k though.

I suppose doing the math, I would expect to be able to tell the difference between 4k and 8k on a 110" TV.
