Do we need 8K to enjoy our shows when most of us are watching 720p programming with shitty bitrate? I think there's even retards on Yea Forums who still download SD rips because they have a shit connection and watch stuff on a tablet, phone or shitty laptop.
Is 4K a meme that should have been ignored?
Do you own a 4K TV or are you waiting for 8K?
What's the lowest resolution you can enjoy your kino at?
All of my screens are at 1080p and I'm not replacing them any time soon, so 1080p is fine for me.
Blake Diaz
will you leapfrog to 8K when it becomes the standard?
Asher Baker
4k is the sweet spot between clarity anf practicality. What we need to improve are bitrates so movies actually don't look like compressed garbage on nice screens. I personally use 1080p on all my screens aside from my living room set.
Eli Russell
>when it becomes the standard Well, yeah why not, but that's a long time away. My only problem with 4K and dare I say 8K is that it takes a lot of power to drive, currently considering 1080p/720p are among the most widespread and perform well with mid-tier hardware makes it the best choice for mose people.
Caleb Cruz
4k streams are already bit starved and too many films let alone television shows are both shot and mastered at 2k. 8k is a meme. You don't have a 11' tv.
James Miller
>8k is a meme. 4K is the real meme. 8K is the actual step up from 1080p.
Connor Perez
These are shills selling tv aren't they. This has been happening all week
Dylan Morales
How do you sell a TV without mentioning a model, photo, brand? Fuck off, retard.
Joshua Taylor
There are people in real life that have 4k televisions that are both large enough and placed close enough to the viewer that one sees some benefit from the increased resolution. The people that have screens large enough to benefit from 8k don't have televisions. They have projectors. >4k not a step up The difference between a professional theater exhibiting at 4k vs 2k is night and day.
Julian Miller
I bought a 4K oled TV recently and it's great. Problem is the lack of 4K content. It's a problem because the difference between 1080p and 4K is pretty noticable. so when you watch anything that's not 4K you know you're not getting the best out of the TV. Even though 1080p upscaled media looks nice, you can tell it's not 4K.
Justin Watson
8k was decided as the optimal resolution for tvs decades ago by NHK. However, with atsc 3.0 (4k over the air broadcasting) still not even being put in to effect till a year or two from now, it will be a while still until we see 8k as a "standard". It will probably have an even slower rollout of content than 4k did.
Samuel Gomez
nah the real step is from 1080p to 4k. anything higher than 4k is diminishing returns.
besides most productions aren't even fully 4k compliant yet so 8k is probably not going to happen before 2050
Liam Price
4k blurays rips look spectacular on muh calibrated 27"
Oliver Phillips
I am not happy till the pixels are the size of molecules
Alexander Carter
Kek
Carson Thompson
nothing is being released in 8K atm.
8K atm is a meme to sell TV's.
Cameron Roberts
>anything higher than 4k is diminishing returns. most retarded post ITT
Thomas Harris
K atm is a meme to sell TV's. To who? Least expensive 8K TV I've seen in store was $6000. 4K is the real meme since it's actually being sold.
Anybody with a brain is sticking with 1080p until 8K becomes the most common type of TV.
Asher Lewis
idiot
Mason Brown
1080p is pretty much all you'll ever need. All 4k brings are irrelevant details that can probably be upscaled using some deep learning shit in the next few years. Everything will look amazingly sharp and detailed and your brain can never process in real time that those details are made up bullshit.
Asher Nguyen
I own a 4K phone and download 30GB movies all day fuck you mean
Mason Butler
Just because the jump from 1080 to 4k isnt as drastic as 480 to 1080 doesnt mean 4k is irrelevant detail.
Tyler Jenkins
Right now, things are slowly getting to 4k. 4k isn't the standard yet, but soon it will be. 8k won't be the standard for a very very long time and it's beyond stupid to even think about it yet.
Brandon Thompson
1080 is fine with me
Christopher Nelson
>>Right now, things are slowly getting to 4k. Most things are at 720p
>4k isn't the standard yet, but soon it will be. 4K is already the standard. Most TVs being sold are 4K now.
Owen Jenkins
It is though. Going from 480 to 1080 literally changed the way movies were made, simply because suddenly you could show smaller details like text in movies and expect the audience to be able to actually read it. In VHS times that was simply impossible. I'm not saying these instances are super common, but it does happen from time to time.
With 4k it's very different. All detail you can now see is more or less just subconsciously perceived. It looks clearer and sharper overall, but you don't actually see more. There aren't any scenes where the increased detail actually helps getting a point across. It's just a general feeling of increased clarity. I know people who work on upscaling algorithms for movies and I can say that you don't really realize it's upscaled at all. In fact, upscaled 1080p using these algorithms often looks much better and clearer than the corresponding 4k versions (actual 4k) ironically.
Gavin Rogers
>4k isn't the standard yet, but soon it will be. Soon? It is. Best Buy TVs are overwhelmingly 4K. It's already there.
Resolutions aren't even real they're just a scam up sell TVs everything's just downscaled
Jayden Rodriguez
Tvs are also able to get bigger though. There werent many 1080 tvs past 65in because it didnt look great due to low pixel density, but now with 4k 75in is common enough and 8k will still look good at 85in (if the general market will even care about tvs that big, only time will tell.)
I wont argue that 1080 isnt "good enough" but there are discernable differences at res above it, and why even bother deciding whats good enough when technology will continue to move forward regardless, you already can barely buy 1080 tvs these days and it wont be a good panel anyway
Parker Allen
>Resolutions aren't even real dumbass
Eli Cox
I go to the theater and always get the best technology there is at the time.
Kevin Clark
that's gay
Wyatt Hall
What's the minimum screen size per resolution?
I'm guessing 1080p can be pretty small, isn't 4K minimum 32 inches?
>4k is the sweet spot between clarity anf practicality. Only because we don't have 1gb fiber in all homes...yet.
Mason Peterson
It is. The pixel density of phone screens is bizarre. Kind of like +20 megapixel cameras on them. Or having 8 to 16 gigs of RAM.
4k below 32 inches is relatively hard to justify outside of monitors. Even for TV's, sitting 3-5 feet away is kind of weird in modern decoration. Some old folk wisdow seems to be that the couch should be 6-10 feet from the TV, which would leave c. 42" as the minimum for seeing the effect, or nearly 70" for 10 feet.
Nolan Myers
My Internet can barely handle streaming 1080 at 60fps. It's not going to do 8k.
Evan Moore
What does camera resolution have to do with display size? Higher camera resolution improves digital zoom and someone might also view the pictures on a larger screen.
Noah Sanders
I own 4K Don't see 8K being an improvement for home cinema Movie theatres, absolutely
>What do you stream at 60fps? Sports, youtube, gamez
Xavier Powell
I'm good with just regular blu rays at this point, I've spent a lot on my blu ray collection and I haven't noticed enough of an upgrade with 4K with most movies to make any sort of jump.
Connor Jackson
240p with crackling mono channel audio is peak kino. especially if it's an adventure flick. really gives that nostalgic old school vibe.
Jack Myers
>1080p at 240hz >2K at 165hz >4K at 60hz What is 4U?
Hunter Nguyen
wat
Matthew Cruz
This, unless you have a TV larger than 42inch 8k is irrelevant.
Grayson Murphy
>unless you have a TV larger than 42inch so, everybody?
Jose Anderson
Only poor people who spend all their money and have the new annual iphone have a tv larger than 42 inch.
Leo Lee
Imagine being such a consumerist smooth brain that you actually buy into muhKs marketing to sell you shot you don't need youtube.com/watch?v=EkBbOU8Cwhg
Dylan Young
>Only poor people who spend all their money and have the new annual iphone have a tv larger than 42 inch. I don't do either of those things and I have a TV larger than that, and I'm not poor.
Easton Gonzalez
I only care about the story. I'm not a manchild.
Matthew Reed
I switched for 4K 2 years ago when I brought my 1080ti and I wouldn't switch back Playing and watching movies in native 4K has been a real change
Adrian Myers
1440p is all you need
Cooper Wright
I have a 55 inch 4K TV for my bedroom. Is it excessive? Yes. But is it comfy? Also yes
Andrew Rogers
Why is 1080/24p Blu-ray disc in Game Mode such Kino?
Nathaniel Gutierrez
All this poorfag cope lmfao. >I-I'm not poor... you're a jew! >my crtv looks better! >I can't tell difference between dvd and hd, not worth it
Juan Thompson
>What is the most kino resolution?
35mm is the only answer. The absolute state of this board
Gavin Kelly
I literally just bought a 4K display this weekend because of the price drops this month, and because my display was laughably old.
Leo Cruz
Lol holy shit you are a retard.
Jackson Bailey
>4K phone I’m sorry but you bought a MASSIVE meme
Nathaniel Kelly
don't educate them fren, they probably don't even know who this guy is
