| Mr.Playstation said: Or they could just lock the resolution, if the original material is only 1080P and if the PS4 can do 4K pics than the PS5 will easily be able to play movies in 4K ( Maybe it can even be done on the PS4 if Netflix could stream in 4K without any buffering ). In gaming it's just not worth the upgrade in resolution only to have a decrease in performance and an increase in cost. 1440P provides a very good native update for people using 4K screens yet is still manageable at a decent FPS and Price. |
I think you didn't understood the problem with this kind of resolutions. The console has the flexibility to output any resolution, like 720p or 1080p. But a 1440p console needs a 1440p TV. And a 1440p TV is useless. 4K TVs are nice because 4K films look good. If you put a 1080p film on it, it will, at least, look as good as a 1080p set. Because it scales well. It's an integer multiplication for pixels. They will probably look better, because 4K sets are more expensive and pack better tech.
If you got a 1440p TV, 1440p content would look good. But 1080p content would look worse than in your current 1080p TV, because the scaling isn't exact. So you would expend more money on a new TV that makes 95% of the content look worse than your old set (unline 4K ones).
So the problem isn't the consoles. It's just that a 1440p TV would be worse than a 1080p one in 95% of the situations, while costing more.
