You might have my issue. I walk into the TV section and they all look the same because my vision isn't really good enough to see the difference.
Buy the cheapest monitor and turning down all graphics settings on everything, then just read at night for a couple decades
Fr. I’ve seen some BEAUTIFUL pictures online that were claimed to have been taken with an iPhone 11, but when I try it looks like the photo went through potato processing.
That's a common misconception. 1080p, or full HD, was considered a high-end resolution when it was introduced. However, newer standards like 4K and 8K have surpassed it in terms of picture quality.
Not to get nitpicky, I just want to mention that 35mm also contains the audio printed on it, so one possible compromise with digital formats is audio latency. There are also considerable differences when we're talking about film/digital projection vs digital video display.
Out of sync pic & sound drove me nuts when Australia moved to digital broadcasting. It's improved, I see it seldom now on a newer set. Only good for film post folk that play the 'how many frames out, and ahead or behind?' game; some claimed to see 1/2 frame discrepancies.
Even being techie myself, the older I get the less I care… just don’t skip, my eyes are bad enough so it’s ok but I can still tell audio/video out of sync.
For those comparing 2160p and 1080p is basically the same but in 2160p you can see skin pores which tbh, would rather not, so 1080p is the best
Op is correct
There are higher resolutions, like 4k and 8k, but whether or not you notice depends on a few things (monitor dimensions may be the biggest). 1080p is pretty good for performance in my opinion, since the computer needs to draw less pixels than 4k or 8k monitors.
For games it's the speed (hz) that matters. I can't tell you how many games I installed and went "oooh pretty" and never played again. If it's jittery it's ruined for me.
Nope your way behind now its 8k but that changes faster than some change their skiveys so dont feel bad i remember early black and white which still flickered like the old silent movies if you not a techy you only learn about the newest through those that are.
Seems to me unless you're a big fan of those really close up videos of bugs and droplets of water they play on TVs at the mall, advancements in video quality matter very little
I thought 4K LED was good. Turns out it’s not good enough. Must be OLED. I have not asked if 4K OLED is good enough. At this point I don’t want to know how little I know. Ignorance is bliss.
It's written in the bible that Lot's wife was born with 4k vision, this is why she turned into a pillar of salt when looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
1080p sucks when you're using anything bigger than 20 inches. I have a 25-inch monitor, and I can see it. Maybe I didn't notice it years ago, but when better things come out, it becomes a persistent nuisance.
My daughter can’t see the difference between 480i and 1080p, which is perplexing. As one who worked in live meetings I can tell you when you get to large format screens 4K is probably industry standard these days, but having been laid off in spring 2020 I’m sure I’m behind the curve
Frankly, if 1080P looks good to you, stick to it. Anything higher is wasted on people that aren’t scaling up image sizes or looking at a screen very closely.
4K does look better than 1080. I found HDR makes a bigger difference though.
It all depends on the source material some material is just not very well filmed. I’ve never seen an 8k screen.
Next time you're in a TV store, check out a 4K or 8K demo. You'll be able to discern finer details, like distant people, that are blurry or completely missing in 1080p. Having said this, 1080p is still superb quality!
do you have a 3 meter wide screen?
do you regularly get close enough to a 3 meter wide screen to really care?
also i was talking more about computer monitors
I have a 4k tv and the picture quality is noticeably different, obviously with 4kuhd content. Watching video recorded in 720p is a strain on my eyes now.
yeah and 30fps video games didn't give me headaches until after I got used to a 144hz monitor. That doesn't mean 30fps is bad, it means I would have saved money AND my health if I had never gone above 60fps in the first place
That's a common misconception. With advancements in display technology and compression algorithms, 4K resolution has actually surpassed 1080p in terms of overall image quality.
I feel that 4K/8K is incredibly wasteful outside of archival purposes for film formats and physical photo scans so yeah you're getting an excellent experience at 1080p or 1440p
I read somewhere that to really see any difference between 1080p and 4k, you have to have a ridiculously large screen, and be a certain distance away. I gotta say, though, Final Fantasy looks fantastic in 4k, so I’m part of the problem.
On a 27-inch monitor, 1440p and 4K don't look different enough to justify the computational load of 2x-4x the pixels going to the screen. On a 65" TV though, sure!
Idk, I'm in that "UHD media wants to replace the theater experience but it absolutely does not" camp.

Because when you see it, you’ll turn 1080 degrees and pee
Can't tell the difference.

Even then, the digital cinema standard uses 2K (which is around the theoretical resolution of 35mm film).
coincidentally can you provide me with a recipe for haggis?
4k fits all of the data necessary to convert 35mm film to digital without compromises.
Op is correct
After a certain point, high definition might hurt more than it helps
Otherwise 1080p-blurry and 4k-blurry are the same.
- The Tower of Babel
- The Golden Calf
- Icarus' Wings
- 8K UHD
Double 1080p 2 4K
Then double again to 8K
Used my friend’s 4k 60hz monitor and I stopped noticing the resolution after about 20min, and the low framerate was annoying!
The difference is, quite literally, massive.
I used a 1080p screen for years and when I finally upgraded I was blown away by the difference it makes.
Best part is if I REALLY need more frames I can just drop the res on the monitor. Win win!
We're not meant to see things this clearly.
Anytime I look at an HD display I have to blur my eyes slightly to avoid getting taken by The Fear.
That and something something 5G for good mesure
1080p 4 life yo

4K is clearly less than 1080p
It's right there in the name!

1080p 1920x1080 resolution (pixels vertically & horizontally)
1440p 2560x1440
4k 4096x2160 or in some cases 3840x2160
I do know that btw, for the record. 😊
