4K is out and has been for a while and neither of us have adopted it for obvious reasons. Perhaps we and 99.5% of people have an "odd point of view". :)

Benchmark Scores Faster than the tortoise; slower than the hare.
My point is that there isn't a lot of pressure to push the HDMI/ Display Port specs much at this time.
Yup, on both sides, there's the cost problem. On the computer side, there's not enough processing power to feed 4K for 3D applications. On the television side, 4K content is very difficult to access and the infrastructure (HDMI) to handle 4K is almost nonexistent. 4K, at this point, is just a whole lot of noise.

Reading comprehension for both my and apparently your own post as well were at a low point it seems.
That or you only bothered to read the first line...

You claimed there is no pressure for better tech (cables) as only a small percentage of people are using it atm.
I say thats an odd point of view as obviously few people adopt new tech right away.
You are basically saying "because pretty much nobody is using flying cars today, clearly there is no interest or demand for it", or to be more topical "because nobody is using fast gpu's that have not been developed yet today, clearly there is no demand for it so we should not even develop those in the first place".

I have not adopted 4k yet (as I already wrote down but again, maybe you only bothered reading the first part) purely because tech has not caught up enough with it yet, its not yet where I want it to be.
And stopping development (or slowing it down) because "clearly there is not demand for it" will not speed up the process of me and others adopting it.

I'm referring to the needs now and of the near future. Where is the pressure to adopt 4K/8K at 120/144 Hz gaming? Only a handful of hardcore gamers might care about it as much as the day-dreamers of flying cars might fantasize about that too.
