| Yet another article written with total disregard for science. Short article covering the usual bullshit about resolution and why apple retina is wrong, etc.
http://wordmunger.com/?p=1348 For those who didn't know, the eye can see over 10k pixels in an angle of a single degree (the fovea, right where we aim with our guns or bows, of course). That means that in order for content and displays to provide you with the precision that real life offers, one should maybe consider a 40K TV instead. In reality, the brain does a lot to interpolate and most humans aren't trained to make good use of their view anymore (how many of you are sharpshooters or combat pilots mhh?) and thus may not notice a difference at some times, especially when tired or in bad lighting conditions. As I detailed in another comment somewhere, color accuracy is more important (IPS,OLED,..) than resolution because the brain cannot interpolate colors (quite logical indeed, how would you code that ? say that FFFFFF is more FFFA FFFA FFFC than FFFB FFFB FFFB ? good luck with writing anything else than random interpolation) and that means that focus on 4k TV should be secondary to focus on accurate sRGB TVs. It doesn't mean, however that 4K or 40K is useless. |
