Why the fuck do we keep moving toward fucktarded resolutions?

Why the fuck do we keep moving toward fucktarded resolutions?
It's hard enough to run a game at 1080p, let alone 1440p or even 4k. Why the fuck does 5k exist?

hi resolution pornography of course

Games are for kids

4K+ is great for productivity

MUH GAYMEZZZ
WHY CAN'T THE NEW GPU MY MOMMY BOUGHT FOR ME PLAY MAH GAEMZ IN FOUR KAYYY

Nintendo NX console altready has 5K output confirmed.

maybe for purposes different than games. pleasant serif font rendering, huge displays with a lot of detail. But most important reason is mainstream love towards large numbers. Same shit as with retarded 20mpx smartphone cameras noisy even at iso 200.

because apple decided they wanted to fuck everyone in the ass yet again

No AA needed :^)

are you my grandpa or something?

when you double the scale of all ui elements, the productivity was not increased

Go to bed, you have school tomorrow.

>this year's date
>the opposite of your worthless opinion

This format of faggotry needs to die in a fire.

And resolutions are increasing NOT because of the gaming world but because of the home theater world. People want bigger TV's that need higher resolutions. In 10 years we'll probably see entire walls of houses made into superhypermega HD screens for $1000, and movie theatres will be (nearly) out of business.

Also, companies like making people refresh their technology because money. Hence, higher resolutions. DESU, only OLED makes me excited. If you haven't seen it then you're missing out.

5K is the best

this

not an argument

Yes, because if you can't gayme at such a resolution it's completely useless

>In 10 years we'll probably see entire walls of houses made into superhypermega HD screens for $1000

doubt it unless $1000 means more than what it currently is

I wish i could read your post but i fell for the meme.

why would you want to double the scale? 1:1 on a 4k monitor is god-tier

Because its well documented that at normal viewing conditions we need at least 8k to fully eliminate pixelization and visible moire.

you might as well filter "productivity" because it could easily mean being paid to shitpost on multiple imageboards at once.

are you editing photo and video? are you programming? are you being paid to play a vidya gayme? if something is great for something say what it actually fucking is, and preferably why.

You can play the games at lower resolution and use the hi-res for work and things that it's useful for

I cant think of workable screen size that wouldn't look shit on. how big is your screen?

Can't read shit.
I hope IRL that's at least a 42 inch

>Tiny UI
That's wrong though. Don't you know what scaling is? Pic related.

My monitor is 27 inches as well.

pls share your folders baby?

>Don't you know what scaling is?
i dont think you do. thats one open window without context. the original screenshot on a 27 screen would look small. dont sit so close.

Innovation? Idk why make a better version of anything you fucking retard?

Red cameras/sony/etc. make hardware for film/tv at high resolutions for viewing in theaters and then tv manufacturers and computer manufacturers want to advertise their "full theater experience" even though it's usually less than what it really is. 4k is starting to become a thing while films right now are being shot in 6K/7K/8K. When 1080p was the cool thing, films were being shot in 4K and 5K.

>Innovation
apple needs more money.

1440p 27" here
got this monitor 4 days ago
loving every inch of it
using a 1:1 scaling and I can perfectly read everything

It's not that hard of a concept. 5120x2880 is exactly 4 times greater than 2560x1440 (2 times in each dimension).
That means when the GUI is scaled to be 4 times as large as normal it would look exactly the same size as a normal GUI on a 1440p monitor, just far sharper.
Pic related, this is what 5k looks like with the scaling off.

>capsule

You're alright.

You make a better version of something the average tech illiterate actually cares about so you can get away with selling a worse version of everything else. Duh.

See: Apple.

not everyone is using 4k on 13in retard

People who buy Macs want a 'luxury' computer and they don't need or care about it having the fastest hardware. It's not 2002 anymore, even a 10 year old laptop would be enough for most people, even on Sup Forums. Hell, look at all the people using 10 year old ThinkPads.

>Apples UI is shit and small
thanks for the info

Daily reminder that the 5k dell monitor is a better monitor than the 5K iMac.

Ironically it also have way better sound, even though it's just a monitor while the iMac is a PC in a screen thus kinda needs to have good audio.

And now here's the same windows, same resolution, different scaling.
If you still don't get it then I don't know what to tell you.

It's May 9th school is over

Depends on where you are. Schools around here don't get out till June

>tfw 2560x1600 30in master race

Don't reply, he's either jealous or mentally handicapped.
Win10 even have scaling so if he's not using OSX or Windows he's probably one of those that use an Autismnux distro.

High pixel density monitors will allow you to run games at arbitrary resolutions without looking like dogshit, just like it was with CRTs.

That's really the main thing I care about, an effective end to native resolution.

>an effective end to native resolution.
Vector monitor when?

Yes, that is bad if the majority of customers for all companies don't give a shit about good hardware. They're more interested in looks. As it turns out, more than one USB port was only ever used by the niche market. "Ultrabook" is slowly becoming the new standard.

Free market FTW. Vote ron paul, power to the people. The masses are always right.

Never. We'll hopefully get gorillion PPI monitors that brute force the problem eventually.

High resolutions are just MEMES to get you to pay more for a single screen.

And yet Apple is the only company making an OS and computer that supports high PPI properly

IF YOU NEED ANYMORE THAN 800X600 RESOLUTION THAN YOU'RE EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT AND WASTEFUL OF YOUR WORKSPACE.

CZECH YOUR PRIVILEGES

C-can you upload the Yuru-Yuri, Lucky Star and Non Non Biyori folders?

Why cry?

>jealous
4k faggots are getting as bad as audiophiles. UI issues with 4k screens is a known problem.
Im sorry if my comments upset you.

Considering I'm using a 1080p why should I be upset or part of the 4K screeniephiles?

you make jokes about it but pornography drives the tech industry

You sounded upset.

You know projectors exist, right? Not saying you can get a 4k projector for ~$1k. But if you settled for something lower-end, $1k could probably just about cover a decent system (screen, speakers+amp)

Thought you meant I was upset, but now I know you don't know the meaning of it.

With the 1080 we will finally be able to get a single card 4k 60fps solution

Hopefully the same with the 490

Are you ok?

>Literally two 380's

Are you one of those pretending to be retarded?

>Capsule
Let's be friends, user!

no.

manufacturers are desperate for turn-over and churn. "if you don't have the latest highest resolution you are a filthy casual/norm"
It's all bullshit.

he's a pedofile

Using 1440p at 2:2 scaling. Might upgrade to a 4k monitor this summer.

If you use winblows maybe. 4k works fine on OSX and linux desktop enviroments with hidpi support like unity, gnome 3, plasma 5, etc.

>UI issues with 4k screens is a known problem.
Only on Windows and Linux

Because you need 5K for the best possible experience.
And next year you need 6K.
Next year OH SHIT 7K

And then you need the GPUs that can handle the higher resolutions, etc. etc.

Basically yet another number-based pissing contest for lazy marketers.

5K is optimal to edit 4K

4K is optimal to edit 1080p

4K content is only one of several factors contributing to our perception of detail.

To is the retina version of 1440p. It'll b my upgrade in 5 years or so

It's impressive how true this really is

You aren't supposed to be gaming at 4k or 5k, they're for large screen productivity

then why are porn websites all using shit resolutions and bitrates + decades old codecs?

video technology is being driven by blu-ray and anime fansubbers

>5K to edit 4K
>4K to edit 2K

why not 3K to edit 2K

>4K content is only one of several factors contributing to our perception of detail.
If you normalize for quality (e.g. set up all your displays to be on the same slope in your diagram) then the resolution only determines the apparent size (x axis), not the quality (slope).

in simpler words: resolution only makes things bigger or smaller, it doesn't change the quality. (Unless you're sitting too close or too far from your display)

Yes, this issue is solved entirely on OS X. Been using an rMBP for over a year now and haven't run across a single app that has weird scaling issues.

I bought a 4k TV simply because it's been so heavily meme'd that it'll eventually become mainstream, but realistically anything above this resolution is fucking retarded. I don't even have full HD on my laptop because I don't fucking need full HD to process geodatabases. Fuck memes, really.

Forcing hardware upgrades.

Progressive resolutions are the best, until we get to 8k. At that point we will need a new way of displaying stuff outside of pixels.

>confirmed

>At that point we will need a new way of displaying stuff outside of pixels.
Why?

More like,
>at that point we will have covered the human field of view

If you need more than 150% scaling you're doing something fucking wrong. Your eyes can't resolve details much finer than that.

>retards will defend their 500+dpi meme shits

200% scaling is the only way to go. It's not that you need such a resolution, but that it scales perfectly.

crash course: there are two types of scaling

vector scaling, and raster scaling

vector scaling scales perfectly regardless of the ratio

raster scaling never scales perfectly

the end

we will have, but also pixel size limitations. Remember 8k isnt a dpi, its just a specification.

Different ways of displaying stuff will eventually become the future.

>Remember 8k isnt a dpi
You're right, it's equivalent to a specification of the viewing angle

Every time I scale by percentages like 150%, 175%, etc I get weird problems like controls being too big or small. Also there's a little interpolation from only 1 and 3/4 or 1 and 1/2 pixels being rendered instead of 1 whole pixel or 2 whole pixels.

>tfw 4k 27"

>he streams his porn from websites

I once thought of something like instead of pixels you just save a superposition of a bunch of waves. So the resulting image is never really blocky when looking closer, but rather blurry. On a screen like that you could enhance the resolution simply by using more high-frequency waves. Pic related, they contain roughly the same amount of information (a little less on the right one). Left one is pixels, right one a superposition of "waves".

It's pretty much how JPEG is compressed as well.

...

There was never such a huge jump in resolution
the jump from 1280x1024 to 1080 wasnt that big

1080p to 1440p isn't that great either
+1440p isn't that common.

The jump from 1080p/1440p to 4k on the other hand is a ridiculous.
And people thinking the new GPUs will run games at 4k with acceptable frames are retarded, maybe in a year or 2 on shitty games.

downsampling masterrace

its about the same actually, its just not linear growth

scaling isn't the problem here, it's just that once you start scaling, you sacrifice productivity.
Like those 20k macbooks with a functional resolution of like 1600x900

Pity the monitor is the same price as the whole imac

Also >Glossy screen
Dell instantly wins for that fact alone
