Last week was rough...

I took a week off from my job to take a long-needed break from work, but something gave me the feeling that I should upload as many 8k videos as possible for some reason. So, I managed to upload like 10-15 8k videos and only two did not processed in the adequate format, which I utilized an external storage website to store the videos if viewers needed to see the videos.

I am so glad because I had a lingering worry that the tv that I was using, the LG Nanocell, wasn't quite up to task with keeping up with the resolution. One of the problems was that mediocre games like Phantasy Star Online would still keep the heat from the TV at a super-high temperature, and I had to stop using it from time to time so the TV could cool down. Last week, I was encoding the videos into a .webm format to make the rendering more efficient for playback on YouTube, when the lines started to form on the TV horizontally.

I am currently getting rid of the TV.

I had only had the TV for less than two years and this was not quite the first time it happened but is the first time where it has been entirely and reasonably overdramatic because the TVs at 8k resolution are too expensive to replace. When I got my Nanocell, I spend over $3,500 on it in prep for the resolution, and that TV is not even available at 65 inches. I had to save up a few months doing professional work, but it's been entirely jaw-dropping that I am directly experiencing that TV at this price range have this kind of problem.

I've tried to reason with myself on whether to spend the kind of money to replace the TV, but after my current experiences at this level, I just cannot think about it at this point without a monumental shift in reasonable prices and some sort of magic trick that will make it slightly feasible to go through this effort again. Seriously, I'm just taken aback at this point how the whole experience has been.

My first attempt to fix the problem was to buy a "8k" project which I am currently using. It's not good, I can barely see the words, and the resolution does not even show in 8k, which means I didn't waste too much money, but my projector is severely inefficient at the task expected at "4k" resolution.

I may still use the projector, but I'm not really going to hold my breath. If these companies cannot get their act together, I'm stuck in a bind because I just don't want a 65-inch monitor, and I need a better alternative for an 8k tv or monitor. I just don't have any good options, and it's sad to be in this state, but I took a risk and at least got the videos that I had made out. Better than nothing, I suppose.

I do not know when the fix could be, but it could take a few years.
