You're welcome, world. I just bought a 4k TV!

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Is there even any 8k content to miss out on?

Who can even tell the difference between 4K and 8K when you're sitting a normal distance from the screen?

4k is noticeble arm length from a 30 inch monitor

for a TV... well.. just gotta sit closer then

For me the only 8K content i tried on a VR display is just cranking up a game to 8K wich looked really good but also showed the textures and model geometry is not ready for that and also the games i tried ran at very low frame rates. But when i wasn't moving around i could see very far, very clearly because of the amount of pixels per degree. I tried the witcher 3 and resident evil village maxed out. Running on a 3090. Village was insanely good looking but it was using all of the 24GB of Vram of the 3090. I really liked the visual settings in village. For me 8K on a VR display is more about having a big panel separated into small windows that all look clear.

I've heard at least one japanese TV channel offers 8K content from time to time such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, which has an incredible native resolution because it was filmed with a NASA camera. Other than that, I haven't heard of anything.

It was shot on 65mm film stock, that's why it still looks amazing.

If they have MXC in 8k - all in

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Right you are, Ken!

YouTube does have 8k support and a handful of 8k videos

There's barely 4k content to miss out on. I guess there's UHD Bluray, but many (most?) streaming services find some way to not provide 4k. My internet can barely handle 4k, 8k would obliterate it.

Samsara was the first movie to be scanned in 8K. It's stunning in 4K, so I think I would also enjoy it in 8K.
