Ok, but then 2k would usually do.
Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes
cheesorist@lemmy.world 5 months ago
simply incorrect. in some circumstances sure 1080p is sufficient, but if the tv is big, close, or both. then 4k is a definite and noticeable improvement.
4k looks sharper as long as the actual content is real 4k, even from afar.

Yeah tell that to my sister, who wants 4k for her laptop simply because she’s heard 4k is better 4 times 1080p, she’s buying a 13 inch.
Small numbers are just not sufficient for some people. I know if I send this article to her, I’ll be questioned “why do you not want me to see happy?”. So instead I just watch my nephews collage fund contribution shrink.
Sorry it became a rant of family tech guy.

Eh, let her for a few weeks, but show her how to switch resolution.

So completely correct as the point you are trying to make is the point the study focuses on (definition per viewed angle)

well yes a microscopic 4k display is no different than a 1080p one to our eyes.
but theyre claiming it doesnt matter on TVs in the usual setting which is just untrue.
