It’s funny that we got to retina displays, which were supposed to be the highest resolution you’d ever need for the form factor, and then manufacturers just kept making higher and higher resolutions anyway because Number Go Up. I saw my first 8K laptop around this time and the only notable difference was that the default font size was unreadable.
That kid was about as cool as kids could be back then. I wonder what he's up to today.
4K looks the same as 8K on a 46" TV
Resolution =/= graphics
Are they already really talking about the PS6? I'm still using my PS1, 2, and 3!! I'll never catch up at this rate. I probably will not get the PS5 anyway - I haven't seen many games that look like they'd justify my buying one.
I enjoy 4k on the monitors I sit only a few inches from all day, but so far I find it hard to justify a whole chain of upgrades for the living room when I think the picture quality already looks great at 10+ feet away or whatever . To be clear, I mean I don't see the need to upgrade the living room from 1080p to 4k, let alone beyond that
It really depends on the size of tv. It's like a cinema screen, you want very high resolutions for that even though it's far away, because it's a large size
I can't really imagine being close enough to any screen where I need more than 1080p. I'm sitting across the room, not pressing my face against the glass.
Sony Bravia Z series. Bought in 2010 I think? Still works like a charm!
Don't worry. Either the PS9 won't need a screen or we can sue for false advertising. https://youtu.be/iwhPkBHLdqE?feature=shared
