eh, I think this falls more into the category of necessary science than exciting science.

It's a pretty wide angle telescope with a comparatively low angular resolution. It's not for pushing the limits. It's for performing grueling, monotonous labor that will take some time to develop results.

Does have a lot of cool tech going into it tho

Man. In before the mass exodus of trees to print more newspapers. Oh wait. Killing more trees = destroying more of the earth's natural regulatory defenses....Damn.

Are we just slow rolling death on all sides?

(The point here is too much production of anything will make a mess. Now how do we solve that when people are used to prime delivery?)

The relevant part is the backlight (or the light emitting part of an OLED pixel):

>With a nearly constant-sized infrastructure component, that means the light-passing part of the pixel (aperture ratio) is much smaller in 8K displays vs. 4K displays. As a result, more backlight power is needed to create the same on-screen luminance as the equivalent-sized 4K TV. A similar problem exists for OLED 8K displays as well.

You need a much stronger backlight to get an equivalent screen brightness, and that means higher energy consumption. That's such physics, and there is no way around it.

Sure, an entirely new display technology that makes the smaller 8K pixels let through more light, could possibly alleviate the issue, but we don't have something like that in the pipeline.
