I don't have an 8k monitor, but i do have a 32" 4k. One of the reasons that the higher resolution monitors look better is that you can't easily see the pixels, which makes the output look more like a print. With lower resolution displays, the images were mostly sharp enough, but the blurry areas weren't really blurred enough due to the pattered grain of the pixels.

Thank you for your replay. That is a very good info for to know what I can expect when I will buy a 4K monitor (in the future)

Now my 4.3 picture has for your 4k monitor the needed pixel high of 2000, therefore your monitor (PC software) do not must upscale the picture for a full screen view, and I think that my 16 mp picture, which has a pixel high of 4000, will looks the same on your monitor.

My intention to do a 16 MP upscaling with LR was this:

I made a screen shot with my iPad. This is a 2048*1536 MP picture and when I view it on my iPad I am quasi in a 100% view....but I can zoom in enormous and I do not see the pixel steps in a curved object that much.

When I view my 4.3 picture and go to a 100% view with my ACDSee viewer on my PC, all is ok, but when I use 200 % or more, where my ACDSee do upscale my picture for that....I see the pixel steps:

a screen shot from my PC monitor (1920*1200):

you must see this picture in full size screen, than you see this pixel steps in the curved objects at once.

But when I let in LR upscale my 4.3 picture to 16 MP...even a bigger cropped view as the above, looks good:

a screen shot from my PC monitor (1920*1200):

I see only minor pixel steps in the curved objects.

So, my conclusion is: my iPad use, quality wise, a kind of 'LR' upscaling, my ACDSee a simple upscaling.

Therefore, I think that it is worth to upscale my old ist DS pictures with LR for my PC and ACDSee viewer for a 8k monitors. But when a 8k monitor use maybe by itself for a full screen view of a too small MP picture (here my too small 4.3 MP picture) also such a kind of 'LR' upscaling like my iPad, so that there is no different to my 16 MP picture, it would not be necessary to do all this upscaling of my ist DS pictures with LR.
