If you are correct, Best Buy is making a lot of money selling placebos. I wonder how much money they will make selling 8K TVs? I remember when the big thing was going from a 60hz refresh rate to 120hz and 240hz. Now most TVs are being made with the old 60hz refresh rate, I guess because nobody could tell the difference.
