You don't sit close enough to large monitors or televisions to notice the difference in resolution, the same way your phone needs such a higher ppi
Prove me wrong
le 4k memeia
Eh, I'd say 15-24 is 1080 land, 24-29 is 1440 land, and above that is 2160 land.
15 inch laptops with 1366x768 are cancer
now this doesn't make any sense. even if you don't think 4k is that great or "worth it", it's objectively better than 1440p and 1080p. the only reason to take lower res is to safe money.
apart from that you should ask yourself why you make posts about this without owning a high dpi screen. you don't even know what you're talking about.
1080p 5 inch phone here and 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor here so I guess I agree.
1440p is good enough for literally anything. 4K is sometimes mixed up with HDR video though, and HDR video / HDR capable monitors will improve the experience regardless of screen size and resolution
4K requires a more expensive graphics card to drive at the same speed and drains batteries on laptops and smartphones faster. Those are objective disadvantages compared to 1440p. Whether you think that's worth it and whether the additional cost is worth anything is personal preference.
I just got a 27in 1440p display and I would still go for 4k IF the panels were over 60hz.
165hz at 1440 is fine for now though.
How the fuck can 1440p be "the best" for both a 5'5" screen and a 40" screen you fucking moron?

PRIORITIES
He already mentioned that the only reason to go lower res was to save money.
I can see individual pixels on my 1200p 24" monitor, and my vision is quite bad, wearing thick glasses.
24" should be 2880x1800 or 3840x2400
>You don't sit close enough to large monitors or televisions to notice the difference in resolution, the same way your phone needs such a higher ppi
what the fuck do you know, m8?
Because you don't hold a 40" TV within six inches of your face unless you are LITERALLY licking a window. Use distance is as relevant as screen size.
You hold a phone closer to your face. Thats how.
>1440p on a 5.5" phone
fucking retarded. you can't tell the difference between that and 1080p with such a small screen
Did you just ignore the entire battery life thing or what
Do your glasses have fucking telephoto lenses
you're a gigantic fucking faggot
fuck off with this shit
you don't hold a phone within six inches of your face either you fucking moron. sure the monitor will be farther away, but not 7 times farther which is the difference in screen sizes
Yes. I don't give two shits about laptops.
I would prefer 3200x1800 over 1080 in a 14" laptop.
Don't mind the battery drain.
>Do your glasses have fucking telephoto lenses
No, in fact my glasses shrink the image.
I can see the pixels even better with contact lenses which approximate normal, healthy vision.
For example, the dot in the letter "i" is a single pixel on my monitor, and I can easily discern it, which means the resolution is too small.
The i dot shouldn't be a square pixel, but a circle.
What font are you using?
>4-5.5" 1080p
>above 5.5" 1440p
Fucking pointless unless you're into VR meme. Even 1080p is way too much for 22-27" 1080p
Absolutely disgusting. Below 1440p or preferably 1600p is full haram.
>27-40" 1440p
Even worse. That's when you jump to 4-5k.
Agree about TVs though.
It's not objectively better, it's objectively bigger. I'm not arguing that it's not better, but that's not how you use objectively
Monitors
15-19" 1080p

27"+ 4k
Phones
3.4-4.5" 1080p
4.6-5.5" 1440p
5.6+ 4k
TV (at 9' away)
30-40" 1080p
41"+ 4k
TV (at 15' away)
30-50" 1080p
51"+ 4k
4k doesn't even seem to be a good thing. I got a 4k OLED tv and whenever I watch 4k content I notice a ton of noise, especially in darker scenes. It is like they have gotten the pixels so small the cameras aren't pulling in enough light causing noise issues again.
Having sharper resolution is great and all, but if its uneven and full no noise its much worse. 1080p content looks perfectly fine.
>Eh, I'd say 15-24 is 1080 land, 24-29 is 1440 land, and above that is 2160 land.
this.
dependant on distance from screen of course.
also having a large and high res t.v is boss.
2560 x 1600 for 13.3" :^)
good point. should've clarified that I was talking about monitors only.
>bigger
what the hell are you even talking about? it's not bigger at all. 27" are 27" inch. the difference between 1080p and 2160p is that one can display high res pictures and sharp text while the other looks like a blurry turd.
i use 4k on a 13.3in monitor without scaling so
Aka half of Asus and lenovo
I'm not the same person, but it's bigger in that there are more pixels and thus more room to put stuff on the desktop. A 24" 2160p display is like four 12" 1080p displays.
you're a fucking idiot.
it displays a larger image, more screen space.
simply increasing screen size doesn't give you a larger working space as the amount of pixels stay the same until you start changing resolutions.
tl;dr you're a fucking Neanderthal

If you use anything less than 4k you're probably using a shitty OS.

anything above 1080 is fucking pointless
fucking kill yourself if you think otherwise
I'd imagine that most content is shot well above 1080p, if not at or above 2160p, regardless of what resolution they decide to to distribute it in.
1080p monitors at any size are bullshit. Legacy. Obsolete.
no where was pixel density even mentioned you worthless cuck.
he said the screen was bigger not better, you tried to argue that somehow a higher resolution has nothing to do with screen real estate.
which is what ppi is all about anyway, this must be bait, or you're just a retard trying to hide the fact that he's an idiot who makes idiotic shitposts by calling others idiots... go figure.
>phone
>anything above 1080 is fucking pointless
lol 1080p is stupidly high for a phone. utter waste of battery life.
720p is more than enough not to notice pixelation on a phone that's actually usable with one hand.
>no where was pixel density even mentioned you worthless cuck.
You did. See >it displays a larger image, more screen space.
>simply increasing screen size doesn't give you a larger working space as the amount of pixels stay the same until you start changing resolutions.
Both of these deal with pixel density by their nature.
>he said the screen was bigger
If a screen gets bigger and the number of pixels stays the same that means the pixel density lowers. It's just mathematics.
>you tried to argue that somehow a higher resolution has nothing to do with screen real estate.
It doesn't. My 2880x1880 rMBP has the same real estate as a 1440x900 ThinkPad. Likewise, my 5120x2880 iMac has the same screen real estate as my 2560x1440 generic Korean IPS display had. The rMBP and iMac have 4 times the pixel density, but the UI is 4 times as large, making the screen real estate remains the exact same.
>which is what ppi is all about anyway
Wow, now you seem to get it.
>this must be bait, or you're just a retard trying to hide the fact that he's an idiot who makes idiotic shitposts by calling others idiots... go figure.
If you are bothered by being called an idiot, then don't call other people "idiot".
>27" 1080p
It was obvious that 27' was too much for 1080p even when higher resolutions weren't really practical.
I can see the pixels on my 27" 4k monitor, especially noticable if you focus on slashes, so claiming that 1440p is good enough strikes me as a bit delusional. I'm going to be shocked if 8k 27" doesn't become mainstream in the next decade.
I don't see why people are buying into 1440p unless they are SPECIFICALLY gamers at this point.
The idea that 4k = 4x the work area by the way is a massive meme and I have average 20/20 vision.
This is true if you buy like, a 40" 4k monitor, but stuff is already rendered pretty small on a 1080p monitor with average resolution, given how close a screen typically is to your face.
If you're buying a 27" 4k monitor and expecting to be able to use 4x the work area you're delusional. I think once you hit 27", you start to see some serious benefits from leaving 1080p because the PPI becomes so low at that point. Still, if you're used to using a 24" monitor at 100% PPI, don't expect to be having 4x the amount of shit on your screen if you get a 4k 27" monitor. It's a meme.
>100%
Completely arbitrary figure.
Work area is to be measured in cm^2 or inch^2 if you will. Font sizes are measured in points.
1440p 4.9" still has fucking jaggies. That's why we need the 4k phone revolution already. It's too bad all of Sony's 4k phones flopped because of region availability.
Films in the last few years have been shot with 4K cameras, so if you're seeing lower image quality in 4k content, it's probably placebo.
Films that aren't shot in 4k, are shot on film, and then scanned at 4k or 8k typically, and converted to 1080p.
The Cameras used for 4K content and 1080p content are exactly the same a lot of the time, so I think you're suffering the placebo effect hard. This is especially true if you're talking hollywood films here.
You're a meme. You're the first person I've heard say 4k = 4x the work area.
4k is just the next step. 1440p is fine, but you're paying almost the same for a good brand 1440p screen as for a 4k one.
Well I'm not autistic enough to work out what my work area is in cm^2, and didn't figure other people were autistic enough to know what the fuck I was talking about if I gave that number, so instead used a figure that could actually be easily understood.
24" 1080p screen, 100% DPI scaling in windows.
Over 100PPI = good
Under 100PPI = unusable
>Phones
4-4.5" 720p is more than enough to not notice a difference, stop the memes.
5" and above with 1080p is enough ppi and higher resolutions drain your battery.
I have a 1080p phone and can't tell a difference at 20cm against a 1440p or whatever meme are companies trying to sell nowadays.
>"muh resolushon iz beter"
Open paint or whatever the autistic alternative is, draw a diagonal line with a pencil. If you can see that it's jagged, a higher resolution would be an improvement.
720p is overkill on my 4.5 inch phone. I lowered the resolution by 50% and it's nearly identical.
