TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.
But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.
But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day
I like 4k for documentaries and cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you’re standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.
Resolution alone isn’t enough to fuck that up. I noticed it first when watching The Hobbit in cinemas at 48fps. It makes things that are real look very real, and unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.
I’m so content with 1080p

Tbh 720p is good enough
Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.

Me too. I don’t even need 60hz. I get motion sickness if a screen goes over 30hz. I guess I’m officially old.

Sounds like you have motion smoothing on.

🤣🤣🤣
Ok, good tip. I’ll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.
I’ll take a pair of rubber feet too!

I’m content with 480. High quality isn’t important for me. I still listen to mp3’s that I got 25+ years ago.
