Already broken

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8K_resolution

8K resolution refers to an image or display resolution with a width of approximately 8,000 pixels. 8K UHD (7680 × 4320)

I mean, I agree its already broken, but proponents of this "it's x thousand pixels wide!" non-sense will point out that at least it rounds up to that number, so I opted to point of the vaule at whict that excuse, too, breaks down. 4k has 4 times(2x2) the pixels as 1080P, and 8k has, well shit, 16 times(4x4) the pixels as 1080P. Someone shit the bed with this non-sense.

Apparently the "official" standard defines nothing beyond 8k. Go figure.
