Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs
yogurtwrong@lemmy.world 4 days agoWhy would the medical field need 8k screens? They can just zoom in on a lower res display y’know? Nobody is looking at a screen with a magnifying glass
I think a possible application for 8k displays is the huge displays where viewer is extremely close to the display. But that would still just be the same pixel density as a lower res display.
Another are I think high pixel density might be useful for is patterning. Like PCB manufacturing and other photoresist stuff. But that’s problem already solved by much cheaper technologies

I’d rather the doctor performing life-saving surgery not have screen resolution being an inhibition.

Oh come on most doctors still view stuff like scans on 720p VGA screens. It’s fine. High resolution imaging is important not hi res viewers.
This is like saying you need to have a 128k screen to view electron microscope images

But the doctor needs to see every quark and gluon in your molecules! How did they perform heart transplants in the 1960s! Please don’t get in the way of technophiles inventing all kinds of fantasy scenarios to justify their hoarder-like behavior.

You’re probably right in like 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% of cases, but I’d want to ensure we could save that extra 0.000000000000000000000000000000001%. I’d sacrifice anything and everything to save my loved ones. So, its probably overkill, but I’d rather screen resolution not being the thing that costs me time with those I care about.

8k screens won’t make any difference.
