There are rumours that it'll output 8K... which seems pretty pointless? Far better (IMHO) to go for 4K at 60/120 rather than 8K at 28 or whatever.
Sony still put that 8K logo on the PS5 box

8K is pointless and will only result in piss poor gaming performance.
I've watched a few videos of Linus building 8k capable gaming PCs and they cost a stupid amount just to get games running at 60fps and medium settings at 8k so there's no hope of a console having that sort of horsepower until a full next gen and I doubt it'll be worth the performance hit even then.
4K is more than good enough and with decent HDR it can look strawberry floating amazing.
I think there's also a possibility that 8K may be banned on power usage concerns anyway so that would make it all kinds of pointless.
I finally got a 4k OLED this year and I can't see myself upgrading until it breaks and I don't think I need more than 4K.
Are even films being made in 8K?
I know that some of the Japan Olympics were filmed in 8K as a test and to make the footage futureproof but if even big budget films aren't bothering then TV certainly won't.
