My Nexus 4 is 720p so I'm not complaining.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.

The NX will be a 900p machine

This will have less than half the pixel density of your nexus 4 so you may be complaining once you see it. :)

Seriously though, were only hitting iPhone 1 pixel density with this monitor. 8K need to be here like yesterday...

People will always downplay tech but the market will do the talking. Let's come back to this again in 2 years shall we?

240hz 1080p doesn't exist. Unless you're calling your 60hz input to 240hz screen refresh smoothing as "240hz"...in which case I'm sorry you got duped by TV industry marketing.

144hz is the highest you will go and only select few gaming monitors do this.

Where did I say anything about literal 240 hz? Of course, I was talking about motion smoothing and fake frame. All that aside, the screen you are talking about is only 28 inches dude...I think you are greatly missing my point.

Well its a computer monitor, not a TV... as such it is used in a manner that make it ideal for maximizing screen realestate at that size.

And at 28 inches is plenty big yet can fit in to most peoples lifestyle as a computer monitor. Not sure what kind of a setup you have but my 65 inch Samsung TV does not have a PC desk attached to it that I can game with or work on.

I would have bought Sony's 4k TV for $3500 this black friday if I knew what the input lag was. Being that Sony's had really good speeds, 17ms with their 55 inch Smart TVs it probably also would have been good, but didn't want to take the chance. Probably should have.

At 28" the benefits of 4K would be negligible, unless you press your nose against it.

Hahahaha. OMG I just can't read these comments anymore with a straight face. My laptop has a 13.3" screen, and the difference between 1080p and 720p is night and day.

If you can't tell the difference, you have bad eyes. Period.

You're sitting too close.

I can tell the difference across the room. Sorry your eyes suck.

EDIT: I actually just tested this. I could tell the difference between 1080p and 720p from 9 feet away on a 23" monitor (Borderlands 2). It really isn't hard. Then keep in mind 1080p is 2.25x bigger, and not 4x bigger like 4K is...

Yea, I don't the people downplaying 4K. Sure, it'll be awhile before it beomes the standard, but it Will happen eventually when prices drop, Just like 1080p is becoming the standard now. And I think with the success of the PS4 and its 1080p standard, people are going to want to upgrade their TVs, too.

Though, its funny to have people boasting about the difference of 4k on a 28" monitor, while others are trying to claim you need a huge TV to see the jump from 720p to 1080po, so the difference doesn't matter.

The difference if obvious, but yeah it's not like I think it is the second coming of christ. It is just the next step in display evolution, and I am excited for it!
