>bought a 4k TV
>can't tell the fucking difference from 1080p
Sounds like you got memed by the jews
>>68223304
I got a 4k, but I upgraded from 720p so the difference is staggering.
Only $500 for a 50 inch? Bought that shit.
>>68223304
are you watching a 4k blu ray?
>>68223350what content have you been watching
>>68223402
4k youtube videos so far. And a 12GB upscaled Mad Max torrent which was a waste of time
>>68223447
Blu ray discs, DVDs, Netflix, torrents (bluray)
Anon, I don't know if pic is related, but Fury Road was shot in 2K (1080p). It would actually make it worse to watch it on a 4K screen
720p is the optimal resolution tho. Anything bigger is just overkill.
>wasn't shot in 4k
>WHY IT NOT LUK GUD
Good job.
>>68223447
> 4K
> 12 GB
man even normal quality Blu Ray rips are 5-7 gigs, 4K goes +25
The human eye can't see past 720p.
>>68223304
unless it a huge tv and you are sitting up close to it you wont be able to tell the difference. Let me put it this way, could you see the pixels watching your 1080p TV? no thought not.
>>68223718
This, and it can't see more than 16 frames per second either. It's literally all placebo effect.
>>68223304
Most films are finished in 2K for cinematic release. Ans those screens are huge. Did they look shitty? nope. 4K is a sales pitch just like 24bit 96khz audio
>>68223350
>$500 for a 50 inch?
wtf, i bet the equivalent is like £800 here
>>68223606
>tfw the human eye can't see any difference above 720p
>tfw you suckers fell for the 1080p and 4K meme
>>68223513

Seriously? What kind of subhuman would do that
>>68223977
fuckin hell when did TVs become so cheap?

Don't talk to me or my son ever again
>>68224010
a few years back
>>68223304
God that movie looks so good
>>68223993
Actually, most digital films these days are shot in 2K because that's the max resolution of the Arri Alexa. The Alexa is the most popular digital film camera, I think even more popular than RED
>>68224088
We just shot a low budget horror in 5K on a RED Dragon, film was finished in 2k. nobody will notice.
>>68223892
>>68223606
time for an eye test.
if you cant see any difference here that means your monitor is shit
>>68224356
Its not even the same frame...
>>68224356
literally all 4 are the same
>>68224356
These wouldn't have any difference though if you left them at their original resolution rather than stretched them to 1080
That's all this shit is, you can have higher quality on bigger screens
>>68224010
I said the same thing. I bought that 50 inch at Walmart. Couldn't believe it.
Unless your screen is bigger than 60 inches and you are watching 5 feet away you won't see any difference
>>68223304
OP i think you got duped
really depends how big your TV is and how close to it you sit.
all the people in this thread saying they can't tell the difference in resolution between 720 and 4k are fucking retarded.
>>68224356
seriously the difference between 720 and 1080 is pretty small, watching youtube videos i usually find it pretty hard to tell a difference aside from video game recordings when there is small text like with the UI.
>>68223993
>>68224088
>>68224200
I'd take a 2K Arri Alexa over a 5K Red Dragon.
Reds are great, but the Arris just have this wonderful look to them.
>>68224356
The only major jump is to 720p.
There's a tiny difference between 1080p and I could easily live without it.
I have a 1080p 42inch TV at about 10ft distance and 720 is more than suitable.
4K is for cinemas, not the home. It's overkill.
I don't even bother with anything above 720p. It's good enough.
>>68226398
I can tell 720 from 1080 but not 1080 from 4k
If you're in this thread claiming 1080p is unnecessary when we have 720p, you're trolling.
If you're in this thread claiming there's no difference in 1080p and 4k, you've never been inside a Best Buy.
>>68223304
You need glasses, need to sit closer, or your video sources are not 4k.
>>68223447
>4k youtube videos so far.
There's the problem. Youtube throttles the bitrates of the videos for various reasons, most notably when the person watching the video has a connection speed that isn't optimal. You will need to download 4k sources that have properly high bitrates.
>>68223304
Movie theaters literally screen films at 1080p. There is just absolutely no reason to own a screen of any kind with a resolution higher than 1080p.
>>68226794
>In digital cinema, resolutions are represented by the horizontal pixel count, usually 2K (2048×1080 or 2.2 megapixels) or 4K (4096×2160 or 8.8 megapixels). As digital cinema technology improved in the early 2010s, most of the theaters across the world converted to digital.
Seems you live in a flyover state, kid.
>>68226794
>absolutely no reason to own a screen of any kind with a resolution higher than 1080p
PC gaming for one.
Also are you people retarded or are you simply unaware that UHD blu-rays are already here.
>all these poorfags convincing themselves THAT their shitty 720p is in any way comparable to my glorious inverted OLED HDR 4K 55" LG
>tfw most movies shot in 4k only have 2k digital effects put into them
>>68226794
I haven't played a PC game under 1920x1200 resolution in years. I'll be getting a 4k screen specifically for gaming. Movies will eventually catch up.
>>68224356
>what is color bit depth
>>68226892
>>68226962
>screen above 1080p for games
lmao, enjoy paying out the ass just to be able to see how awful the textures look at 4K. The art assets in most games barely even hold up at 1080p, let alone higher resolutions.
>>68224356
It is one terribad 1080p. Saved them individually as jpeg.
xvid - 366kb
576 - 463kb (+26% size)
720 - 556kb (+20%)
1080 - 576kb (+4%)
1080p in this example barely adds new information to image it is less than upscaled quality.
>>68227049
How can you not see the color differences between the 720 and 1080 examples
Will Smith goes from monochrome to actual human between those two -- look at the shadows on the two dudes on the right even
>>68226955
I wanted to agree with you but
>55"
you memed yourself up with that purchase senpai.
>>68227044
Enjoy holding everyone back with your Xbox 360 that still gets supported.
>paying out the ass will cause the opposite effect
What a retard.
>>68227044
Are you stuck in 2005? PC games normally have 4k texture packs you can get. Shit, you can get 8k texture packs for skyrim.
>>68223829
HAHAHAAHAHA good joke.. literally this might be LOWEST, but everyone has different strengeths, even sight
This is 720p Lanczos upscaled to 1080p. jpeg size went from 75kb to 129 kb +73%.

Technology will never progress from what it is now. Trust me! All those other people in the past were wrong about this but I'm definitely not.
>>68226955
Agreed, and dubs confirm
>>68227255
>play at a blistering 2 fps!
>>68224356
there is barely a difference, if any, between 720 and 1080. fact.

Dude. Stop playing on shit consoles and upgrade your PC this decade.

I can see why you think that.

Feels good though
>>68223304
nothing is in 4k
>>68227697
Where the fuck have you been? You can even get porn in 4k. It is fucking awesome. I only have a shitty normal screen, but getting the 4k stuff lets me zoom way in on "choice bits."
>>68223304
the human eye cant even see more than 720p at 30 fps
>>68223304
Don't buy into 4k films yet dude. Most of the movies that are being released on UHD Blu-ray currently are all upscales because they were edited using a 2k digital master file. We'll get true 4k once studios fucking edit and render their films in 3840x2160
>>68226579
For TVs yes. Because distance and screen size . Computer monitors are another story as you can actually sit 2-3 feets away from one. Also aliasing artifacts of computer generated graphics, vernier acuity is up 10 tens better so to fully suppress aliasing by resolution we need 10 times better resolution than "retina displays" (57 pixels per degree).
>He thinks the human eye can see over 720p
Wew lad
I've heard multiple times that 4k is irrelevant to anyone whose TV isn't absurdly large. Most films are projected in cinemas at 2k, which is only slightly larger than 1080p, so I don't see why I would need a 4K TV in my living room.
I think there are likely a number of factors other than resolution which affect picture quality. I have a 60" plasma and uncompressed 1080p material looks fucking tasty on it.
>>68227756
>You can even get porn in 4k
Funny thing that porn is on for rare sources of true 4k video content filmed in this resolution not upscaled somewhere in this process. Porn paves the way.
>>68224356
>>68224356
Do I see General Zod in that pic?
Comet have a stack of different model 4k smart TVs in sizes 40"-50" and all between 200 and 300 pounds. 284 - 426 US dollars.
These TVs are cheap as fuck now.

>Will Smith goes from monochrome to actual human
How? He's still black.
>>68224356
Even if there is a difference what does it prove? Do you watch a movie with a fucking magnifying lense? To swallow the I am a "hi-fi" elitist bate is truly plebeian. When people watched a movie in 1995 was their experience somehow marginalized because they didn't have a 70inch 4k tv with surround sound? Pro-tip: NO.
>>68228697
>Porn paves the way.
Then why did they support VHS over Beta?
Checkmate atheist.

Kind of. I mean go get an old screen and watch something taped off of television. Holy shit I don't know how we ever survived back then.
>>68223664
I've got a few films downloaded in 4k and they're all ~35gb. I think if it's less than 20 you might as well just go with the 1080p since it's no doubt just upscaled bullshit anyway.
>>68223304
That's because you're not sticking your face on the screen, dummie.
