The need for higher resolutions are pretty obvious when larger formats 
are involved.  Processing the larger images in a reasonable amount of 
time can be dealt with by simply throwing more hardware at the 
problem.  However, it seems that display technologies have not kept 
up.  I am curious to know how one works effectively if the display 
used is not capable of displaying pixel-for-pixel.  If the images need 
to be scaled dramatically for display, it seems that many image 
defects will be hidden.  What sort of display is used when working at 
6K or 8K resolution?
