Why the fuck do these resolutions exist, with the exception of 1080p and MAYBE 4k if it's on a 40 inch screen?

Because you're a fucking retard.

Great argument

You're retarded.
Contrary to popular belief, being a retarded luddite won't score you any Sup Forums points.

What's retarded is making monitors with resolutions no one can fucking use. 8k would require you to have like a 100 inch screen minimum to even be useful as a computer monitor. It's fucking retarded.

Not an argument

Great shitpost

Good thing it's a UHD television standard, then.

1080p hits indistinguishability at 5" with 15" distance. That's only 20" for 8K at the same distance. You're a fucking tool.

You're the one that's tarded mate. Higher PPI is always better. The problem comes at running content at that resolution, which takes a lot of CPU / GPU and even more internet if for some reason you're streaming it.

You're a fucking retard.

Nice facts you got there.
At least I gave numbers.
You realize at 100" you'd be getting around 70DPI, right? Shrink it down to 20, you get 350, reasonable for a desktop screen at a distance of 10-20".

>4k if it's on a 40 inch screen
4k at 22-24" allows you to render everything "as though" it's 1080p, but with sufficiently sharp text that you would never notice pixels.

we've been explaining this since 2012. some people on Sup Forums must have learning disabilities

(not him; i wouldn't want to be mistaken for a retard)
you're right, although i think there's a very clear effect of diminishing returns. 1080p at 24" is nowhere near plateauing, but there *is* a point where increasing the pixel density helps less and less.

When is affordable 4k monitors with 120hz coming?

Because cinema production
You can easily stabilize and crop a 6 or 8k footage to 4k

Probably not for a while. We *just* managed to standardize DP 1.4, which (along with DP 1.3) supports 4k@120Hz, but that's very much approaching the upper limit. It's going to remain somewhat of a luxury item for a while. I would think at least until DP 1.5 makes 4k@144Hz trivial (assuming here; DP 1.5 hasn't even been mentioned so far, we're just cooling off from getting 1.4 approved).

That being said, if you do work on your computer it's worth splurging and getting a high density monitor, at least for whatever monitor you mostly use to read. If you play games, sure, get a lower resolution monitor for that, but your eyes will thank you for getting a "high density display"

>6 or 8k footage
how many people on Sup Forums do you think are working with RED bodies?

There are no GPUs that can handle 4K@120 unless you only play WoW and TF2.

And fuck, we don't even have 4K@60 display output in like 80% of computers sold.

As far as I can tell it has something to do with your crippling retardation. The only solution is to stop posting right away.

Kill me

>There are no GPUs that can handle 4K@120 unless you only play WoW and TF2.
i was about to say "we're not necessarily talking about gaming" but i guess if he wants 120Hz there are few non-gaming use cases.

>all these idiots defending marketing fads
Sup Forums is dead.

>350dpi for a monitor
>reasonable
are you fucking retard?
