It's unclear to me how the "K" rating is affected by the holographic features, but for normal monitors 8K is a waste. Every monitor size and resolution has an "optimal" viewing distance where the human eye can resolve the maximal amount of detail. Unfortunately sometimes the "optimal" viewing distance deserves its scare quotes, as it results in the viewer sitting so close that they hurt their neck trying to get away from said overwhelming screen. For a 55" 4K display, the size of my TV, the optimal viewing distance is 3.7ft, far closer than I sit to my TV. Between 3.7ft and 7.2ft (ideal distance for 1080p), you get some benefit from 4K, but not all of it. In order to even detect the difference for an 8K display I would need to sit somewhere between 3.7ft and 1.7ft (ideal 8K distance) in order to reap the benefits of my purchase. Needless to say, I am not sitting that close. For monitors the story is a bit different, because they're small and we sit close to them. A 32" 4K display has an optimal range 2ft, which is actually pretty reasonable, while an 32" 8K display has an optimal range of 1.1ft, which is again too close. I personally suspect that this is part of why Apple started pushing to 5K and 6K (although the latter might be cinema related), because ~5-6K is probably the maximum useful resolution for a desktop monitor. This is a long winded way of saying that 8K is kind of a gimmick, at least for desktop and home use.
