The latest in TV is the 8K. I tried to learn what it is and found the following great sources with great explanation:

PC Magazine explains it:

What Is 8K? Should You Buy a New TV or Wait?
4K is the resolution standard for televisions now, but we're starting to see 8K TVs trickle out. How much better is 8K, and is it worth waiting for?

CNet's explanation:

Digital invitations and greetings

For our family's Christmas greetings, this year we decided to take highlights of the year and share with our family and close friends.

One of my girlfriends was so excited to receive it. She regretted not sending such an original greeting. We decided that it's never too late to send out greetings.

I advised her to select some 10 of her last year's digital photos and send them out as Valentine's greetings.

She was so happy about that idea and relieved that she didn't have to wait for December 2020 to apply that idea.
