    2tb drives aren’t as cheap as I would hope

    I want a new fucking 3D TV. I’m so mad every single manufacturer gave up on that.

    Yes, a lot of 3D content was awful, headache-inducing, and bad… But tons of it was done very well and looks amazing.

      Manufacturers did give up on that relatively quick. 3DS was a thing around that time too.

    LASIK actually made a huge difference in being able to appreciate the sharpness of 4K, but I doubt 8K is as big a leap.

    4k is nice but at 1440p the diminishing returns are pretty obvious doubt 8k is somehow going to change that

    source
    • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      There aren’t really any 1440p TVs out there. They’re either 1080p or 4K.

        But there are 1440p monitors.

    I want one but my GPU can’t drive games at 8k and 100+ FPS. Also there’s no media for it.

      games at 8k and 100+ FPS

      You will never be able to game at 8k. Modern games run with 720p and 60 fps on the best GPUs, then “AI enhanced” to a vaseline coated 4k

      • Gerudo@lemmy.zip ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I have a 3080 and have all frame gen tech turned off, and still, almost every game I play can hit 60+ fps and 2k resolution, a lot can do 144. I get your point, but it’s greatly exaggerated.

        No they don’t. On PC you can run games at native resolution with zero “AI enhanced” stuff.

        I run DOOM eternal at 4k with a stable 120 fps (not the AI enhanced interpolation garbage) with a 3080…

        I couldn’t imagine going back to gaming at 60fps and is a big reason I hate console ports.

      Speaking as a developer; I’ve a 4K screen which is amazing for having loads of source files open at the same time, and also works for old or undemanding games. Glorious Eggroll’s version of Proton has all the FSR patches in it, so you can ‘upscale anything’. Almost any modern game, I’m going to be running at lower resolution, usually either 1440p or the slightly odd 2954 x 1662. Generally, highest-quality graphics and upscaling looks better than medium-quality native to me, for games where I have to compromise.

      I would be interested in an 8K display for coding, as long as the price is reasonable. I’m not spending five grand, that would be crazy. But I’d still be upscaling for playing games, as basically no GPU could drive that many pixels.

    Gotta get people to replace their tvs somehow so dangle an “upgrade”.

  • CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    My viewing position is about 330cm/11ft from the wall where my tv is mounted. That works out to roughly 80” television for 4K viewing pleasure. www.rtings.com/…/size-to-distance-relationship

    8k would be ridiculous.

    And yet people want 4k screens on phones and 13in tablets…

    source
    • FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think most phone nerds understand that 4K on a phone is not necessary.

      source
      • the_q@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Yeah we know, but the other 98% of phone buyers only know “number go up better”.

    I’ll take an 8k computer monitor though. In fact, send two. Kthnx.

  • winni@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I found quite some 4k movies being more noisy than their 2k pendant. So whats the point?

    source
    • rezad@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      maybe that was the remastering process issues. also maybe 4k movies are not actually 4ks and are AI upscalers from actual 2k masters.

    I can’t see ever owning an 8k display unless it’s like 200 inches… The ones that are available now are too expensive to be a justifiable purchase and there’s not really an abundance of content that takes advantage of the format.

    source
  • tomkatt@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I mostly use my TV for gaming and watching old movies and anime.

    The former task will be unviable at 8k and make my GPU cry, and the latter one makes 8k unnecessary.

    I really don’t see the point in 8k displays right now.

    I want it, but at affordable prices

    One thing, my current 4k TV/monitor does a pretty nice job upscaling 1080p. It, of course, doesn’t look as good as native 4k, but it looks considerably better than 1080p not upscaled. So even without native 8k content, there is some value in being able to upscale 4k content to 8k.

  • ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    lol but you can have FHD the same size as that tv lmao

    source
    • ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Also have you seen 720HD with 10 bit color? Looks better than 1080p when it was released. Seen 1080p 14 bit color? Looks better than 4k when it came out.

  • Mwa@thelemmy.club ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Makes sense:
    No Media support.
    And also on Monitors and Tvs i don’t care if it’s a. 1080p or 1440p of 4k give me 1080p

  • CriticalMiss@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    BR standards haven’t caught up, that’s probably the answer for most who can afford it.

    source
  • CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You already need a 3080 to even approach modern 4k and unless some new media/disk format, it just ain’t going to happen and isn’t worth it.

    source
    • snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      3070 is enough for most stuff at 4k 60 medium. Not all the newer stuff though.

        Even my rusty 1080TI works well with 4K on most titles from ca 2-3 years old.

    Honestly, at 3m (10 feet) I can’t see the pixels at 1080p. My corrected vision is no longer 20/20
