PC Discussion - 8k Anyone? - View Post

I have a 70 inch 4K display and I have a hard time telling the difference between 4K and 1080p on 70 inches... 8k is just completely unnecessary, the human eye can only see so much...

Are you watching 480P content from over a mile away with the wolds worst eyesight?

The difference between 4k and 1080P should be massive on a display that large if you are sitting from a normal distance away.

1080p is my max. My TV is 1080p, my base ps4 is 1080p, my Switch is 1080p, and my PC can run either 1080p at max settings or 4k with low/medium settings. No reason for me to upgrade yet.

Well no. Your base Playstation 4 and Switch struggle to obtain 1080P.

And there are advantages to having 4k content on a 1080P display anyway, so you *can* transition while retaining your last century resolution.

Matching the human eye is difficult, because the human eye has no clear-cut resolution. We might already have the pixels to match the cone-cells (color-seeing). Humans have about 5-7 million cone-cells. 1080p are around 2M pixels, 4K are around 8M pixels. But for one the eyes flick around while we look at stuff. Also the density of cells differs, in the central area the density of photoreceptor-cells is much higher than at the borders, so human eyes have no consistent resolution.

The human eye doesn't see in typical pixels.

Everyones eyes are made different, you can actually exceed 20/20 vision.

Currently at 1080p for my main gaming/pc tv/monitor. It's 42 inches and about 4-6 feet from me. I'm not sure how much a 4K screen will help me at that size and distance, and my PC can't quite squeeze 60fps at 4K resolutions. But at some pointi n the near future, I'll probably grab a 4K TV at that size if I can justify it. At the very least, I should be able to game at a resolution halfway between, and when I do my next PC upgrade, I can feel safe knwoing I already have a 4K TV.

It is all about the perceived pixels per inch. On a 42" display you are on the smaller side, but you would still see some big improvements depending on sitting distance.

Besides 4K is overrated, people barely see any difference between checkerboarding and da true 4k unless you're less than a meter away and pixel counting.

Same could be said about a ton of other different sub-Full HD rendering resolutions between consoles of this generation.

HDR is where it's at and the only place HDR truly shines right now is with consoles. HDR barely works and supported on PC last I heard.

You heard wrong.

144hz 4k is the dream. I've heard there is a 4k HDR on the way as well, but it sounds to be quite expensive.

144hz, 4k, 32", 10bit HDR, Freesync, non-curved, IPS would be my perfect display for my PC.
