| Intrinsic said: Just this morning i got the chamce of going to a store that allowed me play some 4k content on two identical 50" TVs with the dfferemce being that one was a 4k Tv and the other a 1080p TV. And i found out something shocking. 4k is really a scam. Now i have 20/20 vision, and i was initially standing around 10ft from the TVs and I could just not see the difference between the two images. Absolutely none at all. NOTHING. So i started invhing closer to the TVs. When i got to around 5ft, i still couldn't see the difference, but at this point, if i squinted really hard i could kimda syart making out the individual pixels on the 1080p TV. But this required that I fovus on a partivular point on the screen and squint superhard to see them. Now i feel that like 3D, 4k is ome of those hyped up things from a different display doctrine that has just unnesecerily made its way to the consumer TV space. On a PC, sitting less than 3ft from a monitor and staring at a 27-32" screen i can clearly see why 4k could be better, barely than say a 1400p monitor. But at 10ft, its just useless. And i typically use a 110" 1080p screen at home, sitting at 10ft, and even then i could hardly make out thr pixels unless im looking at a pure white screen and focus at a point and squint. Please discuss..... I am beginnig to think this is jist a collective brain wash to make people upgrade their TVs. |
Problem number 1: It was only a 50" TV.
Problem number 2: You can have vision that exceeds 20/20. I.E. 20/10 vision is better than 20/20. A Hawk has 20/2.
I will assume the store in question wasn't rendering a game at 4k resolution? Rendering a game and a video stream are very different, video games tend to be 'cleaner' and simpler so you can typically pick up flaws easier.
