Unless there is a paradigm or materials breakthrough I wouldn't expect a major leap anytime soon.
Its kinda like the same with TV quality/video game graphics. We've been squeezing a lot out of the current technology, but further enhancements will be incremental.
The paradigm shift will be going back to low level programming. Quake type innovations like fast sqrt
Yeah I think we're at the point of technology plateauing. Ways to interact with that tech may change, like VR vs traditional screens, but we can only compress so many pixels on a surface until it just starts looking marginally better for more money.
I still watch a lot of youtube and movies and stuff no more than 1080p because the increase in quality beyond that doesn't affect the quality of the video enough for me to give a shit. I've seen 4k and 8k tvs in tech stores like Best Buy and while they look awesome, it wouldn't change how I consume the same media.
