HD, 4K, 8K, 12k

Am I the only one thinking there's no point in 4K because there's no significant difference between it and full HD. I have a 4K TV at home and was just watching some movies in it which got me thinking: this ain't that different than full HD... Can't talk about 8K or 12K because I never saw anything in that resolution (other than the real world duh...). I'm hoping 8K and 12K do represent a significant jump in that respect, till then however, I don't see a point in any further upgrading to TV's, consoles etc that support 4K.

Its never going to be the jump from SD to 1080p , just like blurays were never going to be the jump from VHS to DVD.

All new TV's now come in 4K , so everyone will end up with 4k sooner or later.

>there's no significant difference between it and full HD
said no one ever.
You have never seen a really good 4k video, have you now?

we need to progress to 576 megapixels, the "resolution" at which we see

>not watching movies in 8k full dome
what is this? 1910 again?

Actors look weird with too much detail.

If you didn't sit 15 feet away from a 40 inch TV you would easily be able to tell the difference.

Are you confident your source was actually 4K? e.g. a UHD Blu-ray?

I just run my gemu at 1080p60fps and will keep doing it until the end of times, 1440p, 4k, they're all too much of a meme or too expensive to get into and still get a consistent framerate.

I agree with you, I use a 50" TV sitting really close to it and I don't see the need for higher resolutions as I'm not interested in the VR meme. The problem is that most "1080p" sources are crushed bitrate garbage
