8K Resolution on a 4K Screen
Hi, I'm not sure that I understand the question, so I'm going to make some statements and you could later comment whether I am crazy or not, ok?
as @GoldenLag said, you can definitely playback 8K on a system regardless of the display capabilities of said system. Example playing back 8K content and but viewing it on a 720p display/window.
If you are talking about how or why 8K to 4K downsampling could yield better perceived results, well, to answer that you can take a psychometric approach, the specific physiology of the eye and how it perceived changes in motion, contrast at a distance, etc, or you could take a more "quanty" approach, I suggest checking out Nyquist theorem, but in any case you would have to take into account all the processing or transformation steps of the images, like you mentioned briefly, what kind of compression are we applying? what are the dithering effects that we could expect from our specific system, etc.
I actually edited twice because OP likes the answer
