Even if unfixed, that's unlikely to be a serious limitation in this time frame. The global media industry is pretty darn committed to 4Kp24 for scripted entertainment. 4K because costs go up rapidly with more pixels, and the visual benefit of >4K for scripted entertainment is far from demonstrated. Lots of big feature films still do most or all of their CGI effects at 2K. And the commitment to 24p for the "film look" is almost religious. And at 24p, the default shutter speed is 1/48th sec, so almost any motion of camera or content introduces enough motion blur to eliminate any theoretical extra detail 8K could offer.

Live sports is much more interested in high frame rates, so I expect 4Kp120 to be a much bigger deal than 8Kp60 over the next 5+ years.
