What the anti pixel-peepers do when the 8K displays arrive?

Will they shrink their images to a small size to avoid seeing those pixels?

Please excuse and old pixel-peeper.

Sorry, English is not my language and I fear offending someone, because humor is a subtle issue in different languages, but I couldn´t resist,

Many are challenged (visually or otherwise). Recently, they couldn't tell apart 1080p from 4K.

8K is probably well outside the scope of their comprehension.
 
Higher resolution displays make it harder to pixel peep because 100% pixel view covers a smaller area of the screen.

If you had a 36MP FF image on a 33MP 8K screen, hitting 100% would only enlarge the image a few percent. If you hit 100% on a 36MP image on a 2MP 1080p screen, it enlarges the pixels several hundred percent.

To see this in action, if you have 1080p screen, try to pixel peep a 2MP image. If you have a 4K screen, try to pixel peep a 8MP image.

Innolux’s 100 inch 16K8K S-UHD (15360x8640) Display module displayed at Touch Taiwan is the only single display as of August 2018

World’s First 100 Inch 16K8K S-UHD Display

Innolux’s latest 100 inch 16K8K S-UHD Display module exhibits the best for human vision ever. The product is equipped with the latest video chip, high-transmittance pixel design, high brightness, 16K8K high resolution (15360x8640), wide viewing angle and wide color gamut, to present images with sharper outline and stereoscopic feeling. No pixel dot would be detected at even as close as 50 cm. The combination of 16K and 100 inch panel enhance the image realism. It is very eye-catching to have one single panel presenting such a large view at any occasion.

LOL fixed your wagon for yer ;-)

My hope is that lower resolution displays will continue to be available. I don't know how long they last in storage, but maybe I need to get one or two more lower resolution displays to keep on hand for when my current one dies.

^ That's a very civil message and I detect nothing there that would offend someone.

^ On the other hand, some posters who don't seem to have any trouble with their English enjoy insulting others.

To answer the original question ... If there are 'anti pixel-peepers' (what is that?) and if they buy new monitors of the same size and continue to view images from the same distance, they will presumably be just as happy with 8K as they are with whatever they have now - or happier ... unless I misunderstood the point of the thread, which is very possible.

Exactly!

I think there are cognitive dissonances because way too many people are hitting the 100% button on high megapixel images while using 2 MP 1080p screens. I have a 14" 4K laptop. And several 24" 1920x1080p monitors on my desktop machine. Many images that look horrible at 100% on a 24" 1080p monitor look perfectly fine at 100% on my 4K laptop. (I'm shaking out Topaz A.I. Gigapixel and now have images up to 96 megapixels to dissect.)
I also detect cognitive dissonance when I use "PPI" when posting about monitors.

I hope 8K monitors are more reasonable when I update my Win 7 desktop to a new Win 10 machine. I feel constrained because my highest resolution monitor (my 4K laptop) is only 8 megapixels. It is 320 PPI though.

Oh boy, believe me you can understand it on 4K monitor and in some rare case even on 1080p. Also need to add i am not in any way a pixel-peeper or anti-pixel-peeper(what ever that supposed to mean)
 
Very simple, they don't buy 8K monitors. Can't miss what you never had.

I agree :) Love my 27" 4K, but would get an 8K in a split second if they were affordable.

They'll have to start shooting video to get anything out of it.
 
The anti pixel peepers will be extremely happy with 8K displays as it will be impossible to see the pixels.

Do you seriously believe pixels are easier to see on higher-resolution displays, such as 8k? That would defeat the entire purpose of 8k. They call it "high resolution" or "ultra high defintion" for a reason. Not being able to see any individual pixels is what they are being made for.

Or don't buy an 8k display!

do you seriously believe that pixel peepers were actually looking at individual pixels rather than looking for processing flaws that can affect them? .
 
What I am wondering is what’s considered pixel peeping. If it’s zooming in 100% to check sharpness (for focus accuracy) during a shoot, then I’m guilty.

When purchasing a lens, I also check the details. But I don’t go looking at the bottom right corner.

Unless the screen is 100" across or you walk around with a microscope, you probably will never see all those pixels anyway.

The other way of reading this is that the reason you've spent all these years pixel peeping is in readiness to own a monitor that doesn't yet exist...

Although of course it will be no different to printing at the size of then monitor
