I know it's a meme to joke about low resolution but hear me out.
Do you really need a higher resolution than 720x480?
It's widescreen and it can fit the UI, giving all the visibility you need.
Of course, you miss out on detail in visuals but you can still improve the visual by downscaling to get rid of aliasing and to filter textures.
I think I might just be drunk but I dunno, I feel like I'm onto something.

>It can fit the UI
Barely.
Downscaling can only do so much. It's also the most taxing of aliasing so you might as well run at 1080 at that point.
720x480 is 4:3, I think you mean 1280x720.
>Do you really need a higher resolution
>Of course, you miss out on detail in visuals
It's anamorphic 16:9.
640x480 is 4:3. 720x480 is 16:9 just in Standard Definition.
oh my bad, though I still think OP meant 720p (1280x720)
You would be wrong, famdongus.
ill report u
but there's no way you could see shit in a modern game in 720x480; text would be a complete blur.
games used to fit perfectly fine in 320x200
See
Why the fuck would you do that when we have the technology to do better? Do you realize how horrible 480p looks on any TV/screen that isn't pocket sized?
>inb4 but it worked back in the day when it's all we had
Yeah, when it was all we had. Now we have the choice to do better.
As someone who games in 4k, I say yes, you absolutely do need it. The clarity added via full 3840x2160 pixels improves immersion by quite a lot. I hope people adopt it fast so we can move on to 8k.
What game is this?
Nu-Doom
nah dude...320x200 was blocky as shit
if there was an option for 640x480, it was no question.
playing multiplat releases on Dreamcast really made a difference.
No, that's 854x480 or so I believe. OP just meant 720p and is retarded like most of the people in this thread who don't know what resolution is.
The 3DS is 320x240 you fucking negros.
It's also a handheld with 4"something screen.
>4k resolution
>under 4000 pixels, horizontal or vertical
i can wait for "true" 4k or 8k or whatever or am i supposed to buy a new monitor every year?
>Do you really need a higher resolution than
You need as high as long you can count pixels without AA.
kind sir
do you have more graphics porn
thank you
UI is about proportion, not scale or resolution. As long as it's 16:9 it will work with modern games.
The only game I can think of where a lower resolution was a problem was the first Dead Rising, back when the market was just barely switching from CRT TVs to flatscreen LED and LCDs. The game was built entirely around the flatscreen ones with no consideration for older TVs, and some of the text was small enough that it was unreadable.
get 16 8k monitors and make a 32k screen setup
I think 1080p and whatever the ultrawide equiv is would work best.
>3840x2160
That's not 4k, that's 2160p.
4k is 4096x2160
> Technically, "Ultra High Definition" is actually a derivation of the 4K digital cinema standard. However while your local multiplex shows images in native 4096 x 2160 4K resolution, the new Ultra HD consumer format has a slightly lower resolution of 3840 X 2160
You sir need to learn how to fucking google.
At that scale, a lot of interface elements are going to be difficult to read, especially if you're displaying a lot at once. For instance, even games like Bloodborne that are designed to be played on consoles/on the couch have a lot of information displayed at once and that makes it difficult to read at low resolution. There's also a lot of visual information that becomes too crowded to see if you're only working at 480p, even if it's not necessarily gameplay-relevant. Developers can make things more subtle if they can expect most players to be on a higher resolution.
Didn't you just prove him right though?
Just because the industry accepts something as the consumer standard doesn't change mathematics.
It will be too difficult to actually see small objects on a screen that size
1080 really is the perfect size, and its what all games are designed around
>I hope people adopt it fast so we can move on to 8k.
I hope it crashes and burns so people dont have to spend thousands on new GPUs just to use screens that have a handful more pixels with no gameplay improvements at all
1080 is the maximum gaming should have gone
This. Anything bigger is just a meme to milk money from retards.
And the only difference between 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 is the aspect ratio and the extra resolution to go with it. The norm for consumers is an aspect ratio 16x9 and that way everything is normalized. Nobody wants their fucking TV to be 256:135 aspect ratio.
1920x1080 is "1080p"
2048x1080 is "2k" as coined by the digital cinema initiatives
The naming conventions should be carried down. Not distorted for jewish purposes.
Then they shouldn't have called it 4k in the first place, for the same reason they didn't call 1920x1080 2k.
1920x1080 is the bare minimum
>ITT: idiots arguing over resolutions in terms of mathematics when it's all just marketing lingo standardized to be easier understood by the consumer
Misusing labels does not make things more easily understood by the consumer. Switching from a naming standard that describes the vertical resolution to one that describes the horizontal one is misleading and deceptive.
Zero jaggies & sharp as fuck image quality can turn a mediocre looking game into something great
>tfw bought a 4K monitor
>plugged my PC into it
>toggle the resolution settings
>see 3840x2160
>Google why it isn't above 4K
>turns out 4K isn't technically 4K, it's 3.8K
Goddamn Jews, I swear.
It's the same people who advertise a hard drive as 1TB when in reality it's only one trillion bytes instead of ~1.1 trillion.
how is that misleading?
The result is that consumers understand it one way whilst filmmakers understand it the other way; it's basically a branding thing.
Because up until the last couple years consumers had 1080p shoved in their face. Now they have 4k. That means 4000 right? That's like 4 times what 1080p is, it must have 4 times sharper images.
Even I fell into that jew trap before I actually looked it up.
that's your own damn fault. Like those retards that thought 720p and 1080p meant the same thing because they both had "HD" on the label.
People are getting bigger and bigger TVs, and as a result want to use that extra space for more quality. Though for a smaller monitor that your face will be pretty close up to then you probably don't need 4k or anything.
>that's your own damn fault
And it's technically the fault of people who see "$59.99" and at face value associate it with the $50 price range instead of $60.
It's a marketing practice that exploits the way people think. It's literally exploitative.
720p and 1080p describe the same dimension, though. This new number describes a different one. It should be called 2160p. Calling it 4k isn't anything other than a pitfall set up to lure consumers into thinking something is twice as good as it really is.
maybe you should get new glasses
>walk into Best Buy or any electronics store
>entire walls covered with HDTVs
>ranging from 30" to 70"
>razor thin and lightweight
>1080p, 4K, 3D, curved display, OLED
What a time to be alive. Whatever happened to those enormous box TVs from the late 90s or plasma screens?
>whatever happened to those enormous box TVs
OH gee I fucking wonder why they aren't around anymore
I still have one, it's too much of a hassle to get rid of.
1440p is the best quality/price balance right now. Only with ridiculously overpriced GPUs like a 1080 is 4k possible in modern titles.
remove the screen and replace that with a door, now you have a cupboard with dials.
there's a solution to that: not being a moron.
actually, most manufacturers refer to it as UHD instead of 4k, probably for this reason.
>people who see "$59.99" and at face value associate it with the $50 price range instead of $60.
who the fuck does that
i think you might be the only one
Why do you like round numbers you autist? Everyone knows that 857x1003 is best.
When a bulb in one of those DLP TV's pops it sounds like a god damn gun went off. Happened in the middle of night while I was passed out on the couch in front of the TV.
I actually pissed myself.
And they referred to 720p and 1080p as "High Definition". Calling 4k "Ultra High Definition" is updating/reusing one label but completely changing the other, which further drags people into this assumption that they're using the same standards and measurements.
And you can't expect everyone in the world not to be a moron. People are morons, and most governments have measures in place to protect them from people who want to exploit them.
Can someone make comparisons with ops nigger resolution and 1080p in any game
We don't NEED anything but sticks and stones. Everything else is gravy. I don't know what you accomplish by not using a higher resolution screen if all things remain equal.
>Calling 4k "Ultra High Definition" is updating/reusing one label but completely changing the other, which further drags people into this assumption that they're using the same standards and measurements.
I have no idea what you're talking about
>i think you might be the only one
There are a bunch of studies that show that people in general are disproportionately more likely to buy items priced at, say, $4.99 instead of $5.00
UHD means ultra high definition. As in "better than high definition". As in a direct comparison to the previous-gen HD 1080p displays.
If it wasn't a comparison, they would just call it "HD".

Here's one from MIT about how ending prices with a 9 (not just .99) increases sales, they priced a dress at $34, $39, and $44. The dress sold the most at $39, and the least at $34 despite it being the cheapest.
my personal opinion is 1440p with a 27 inch monitor is the current sweet spot of gaming.
Ive tried bigger and its not enjoyable.
>D44M at 4
Moar please
everyone has been doing it wrong, god bless op for waking us up.
you think it doesnt work? its the best method of selling there is. it probably works on you too some way or another
I scam all the time in WoW's auction house this way. Price something at X gold 99 silver and it's guaranteed to sell.
Well rounded numbers are psychologically satisfying, especially in multiples of 10. Top 10, Best 100, etc.
People enjoying hearing ten-eighty-pee instead of eleven fifty-two-pee.
I remember when 4K was actual 4096*2304 and not this shit 4096*2160
Honestly, I can't even see a difference between 720 and 1080.
>720x480?
More than 1080p is unnecessary, I mean yeah you could go for 4k but for the sakes of show off.
btw that image is 2k not 4k.
I wonder why this chart goes out of it's way to label the difference between a theoretical "real" 2k yet just says 3840x2160 is the same as 4k.
because that's what the common names are for it.
yes it's a stupid marketing name and not actually 4k but that's what the world will call it now so go to your system control settings and set autism down to 6 so you can get over it.
No anonymous, you don't understand what I'm saying here.
That chart has 1080p on it. 1080p is "2k" in the same way that 3840x2160 is "4"(infact, if you cut 3840x2160 you get... 1920x1080
