A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

Yeah I'd way rather have higher bitrate 1080 than 4k. Seeing striping in big dark or light spots on the screen is infuriating

For most streaming? Yeah.

Give me a good 4k Blu-ray though. High bitrate 4k

[–] Feyd@programming.dev 13 points 14 hours ago

I mean yeah I'll take higher quality. I'd just rather have less lossy compression than higher resolution
