4k is the reasonable limit, combined with 120 FPS or so. Beyond that, the returns are extremely diminished and aren't worth truly considering.
8k is twice as big as 4k so it would be twice as good. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
That would sure be something if it was noticeably twice as good, haha.
My 16k monitor is noticeably twice as good as a 4k one /s
But it got 4 times the pixels, so 4 times as pixely!
8k is 4 4k tvs, so 4 times as good?
8k makes sense in the era of VR I guess. But for a screen? Meh
Even that's a big stretch, haha.
The new Apple Vision Pro uses 2 4K screens to achieve almost perfect vision, so it's not that big of a stretch.
~~480~~ ~~720~~ ~~1080~~ ~~1440~~ 4k is as much as anyone's gonna need, the next highest thing doesn't look that much better
There are legitimately diminishing returns, realistically I would say 1080p would be fine to keep at max, but 4k really is the sweet spot. Eventually, there is a physical limit.
I fully agree, but I also try to keep aware of when I'm repeating patterns. I thought the same thing about 1080p that I do about 4k, and I want to be aware that I could be wrong again
Yep, I'm aware of it too, the biggest thing for me is that we know we are much closer to physical limitations now than we ever were before. I believe efficiency is going to be the focus, and perhaps energy consumption will be focused on more than raw performance gains outside of sound computing practices.
Once we hit that theoretical ceiling on the hardware level, performance will likely be gained at the software level, with more efficient and clean code.
4K id agree with, but going from 120 to 240fps is notable
Perhaps, I suppose that can get upped.
