No I don't think you understand resolution works, on a long enough distance even 480p won't be noticeable, I sit 2,5m from my 50" plasma and its definetly not sharp enough. Neither did you seem to understand me, I'll repeat again: retail games won't be 4K but certain PSN games most definetly will. Phones and tablets are going upwards 400ppi, most people's eyes can't resolve sharpness above 229ppi, its not like our phone displays needed to be HD(or use HD like you put it), they have been sharp enough for years in the first place so the argument of "you cant distnguish pixels now" is rather pointless, if anything higher resolutions than you need on phones are bad for your battery life and performance. When the ps3 came out no one had a 1080p tv, 4K is the next big thing, like it or not. Yes they cost a lot thanks for the obvious but so did the first plasma sets and 1080p tvs. |
And i'll repeat again - so few people will own a 4k TV programming a game in 4k is a fucking waste of time.
You also forget that higher resolution = selling point for phones as the average phone owner has no idea what they are buying but "a bigger resolution is better, right?".
You are also completely ignoring the point that 4k TV's are all massive. 60+ inches. For many, many people, that is simply too big. 1080p was about getting the price to come down. As I said, even if 4k comes down in price, the sets are just too big for the vast majority of people.
Please address what I have actually said. You just repeated yourself and ignored my points.
Ultimately, the issue with 4k is not the price, it's the size, and that won't change over time.
