    4K, 8K, 1,293K is overrated gimmicks to me. I want to see actual improvements, not just how big the resolution can get and how much detail. The last thing that wow’ed me like that were movie theater screens. I’m not really that impressed with it. Also 60FPS shows and things are so off-putting!

      Similar mindset has been ruining video games lately. “You can see every pimple and bead of sweat on their face!” Cool, how does it run on a budget PC? “…just look at that hair! If you squint it doesn’t look like steel wool at all!”

      I’ll be honest I’m with you on the world going to shit and all that but I can’t use 1080p after 4k it feels like blurry vision. I don’t know how you don’t see it as a significant improvement.

      8k+ I don’t see any difference to 4k though, not at 20-30inch screen sizes anyway.

      Got a 4k screen on my laptop, yeah honestly not worth it at all. Barely a difference from 1080p, and yet requires significantly more resources to use. Unless you have a massive display, really not worth it at all.
