Yeah, fuck technological improvements. Mankind survived travelling by horse, living in caves and all. So let's get rid of our cars & houses, television, the internet and back to OXO-style 35x16 pixel, 1-bit graphics.
But serious: I'm really getting annoyed by these stupid "Resolution doesn't matter" threads. It feels more and more like men not getting tired of trying to convince others that "Size doesn't matter".
While these people do have a good point (on most TV screens, the difference between 1080p and 720p is neglectable), the fact that they tend to try to ridicule and downplay the matter does not make these people seem like neutral and objective. And such behaviour generally raises the question of whom they're actually trying to convince: Others? ...or themselves? And... why?!? To me personally, it feels more and like people simply trying to justify/rationalize their own video game console purchase. |
I'mnot saying resolution doesn'tmatter i'm saying 720and 1080 are both crap
EDIT: i'm saying that making fun of 720 from the perspective of 1080 doesn't make sense

Oh... I guess I really misread your OP then and need to apologize. I guess I prematurely considered this to be one of those countless "720p is enough, there's hardly any visual difference between 720p and 1080p" threads. Which I agree to, but consider the endless discussions about it to be pointless and annoying, because they're ignoring the actual problem.
I don't quite understand though why you claim both 720p and 1080p to be "crap", yet (as I remember) started this thread by pointing out how much worse it was just a few years or decades ago. If you consider 1080p to be "crap", you must consider N64, SNES or even NES graphics to be downright disgusting.
