According Japanese reseach the maximum of definition that the human eye can perceive is 33 mega pixels, above that the human eye does not perceive any image enhancement.

And as many person that use glasses DVD is good enough to me, anything better than DVD is useless, superfluous and unwanted.

4K TV resolution is only about 8 megapixels, so you're saying that we should have gone from 1080p straight to 8K ?

No, if it is just 8mp there is space for improvment yet.
On most homes full HD is good enough, in my small room Iam happy with dvd resolution.

These videos improvments are so fast it looks futile, I would like audio quality could do advancements like this.

So how big is your TV (screen's diagonal)?

* High-res audio from Blu-rays is pretty good right now. ...What could be improved are the people who do the movie mixing/recording. ...The vast majority of them.

Toshiba 29'' CRT, why bigger??  It show only bad news and unhappy people.

[North Star]

And how far are you from it? ...Your eyes from the surface of the screen?

Your Toshiba CRT, does it have HDMI connection? ...Components Video connection? ...S-VHS connection? ...Composite Video connection?
... 480i, or 240i video resolution?

___________________

* My hi-def screen (LCD 1080p) is 27" in diagonal (Samsung PC monitor), and my eyes are 24" from it (up to 30" max.).
{I also have a Samsung 1080p plasma 60" 3D, but I'm sitting seven feet from it (too far).}

=> Next for me is an OLED front projector (or flat panel) 4K & 3D with a ten foot diagonal screen.

  bad news & unhappy people.......time to stop watching the news dude!  I'm surprise sometimes what luddites audiophiles are about video / home theater : no offense fullrangeman!  Maybe they're so accustomed to closing their eyes when they listen that they've gone blind - or lost interest in looking at things.........

Fazer o que? Não consigo ver TV mais q 5 minutos.
Não tem nada de engraçado, só nudez e atores ensinando desonestidades.

I've seen a bunch of those at Salvation Army stores and thrift shops; about five bucks each!

* Composite video; that's good, you can plug a VCR or even a DVD player with composite video out (an older one).
...Resolution is about 240 lines or so; on a good day when the news are good and the people are happy. 

** Ever thought of upgrading your life (screen)?    ...It's only a joke on the good side of humor (in case).

[jarcher]

A little rib rubbing is Ok, but be nice! It's audiocircles after all - not AVS! 

[North Star]

Oh, I am real nice; I can assure you of that. ...You would love to hang out with me at the local strip joint.

And I'm not sure why you even had to mention it.

* What's AVS? ...And some's wrong with it?

[wushuliu]

** Ever thought of upgrading your life? 

You need to bring it down a couple notches. You've been like this in several threads now.

[jarcher]

AVS forum..... got too lazy to type it out. Nothing wrong with it, just they are more the videophools vs the more audiophools over here. In a bar fight though.... I'll take our turntables and heavy tube amps over their slide rules and pocket protectors! 

Certainly I'm sure at many points in time I've been guilty of being a bit too enthusiastic and my remarks may have been taken the wrong way unintentionally. So of course now I'm the expert in pointing it out elsewhere if I think I see it

I did not consider upgrade yet because your country infested worldwide TV with crap like action films, nudes and actors teaching obscenities.
Seems you give high value to your video life.
Have you try friends, pets and music?

[North Star]

Yes Mr. moderator. ...No more fun humor from me, forever, and everywhere. ...I promise. ...I'll be always serious from now on, and behave exactly the same way everyone else here at AudioCircle do. ...Which is very civil and respectful.
- I thought I was, but I guess I did not see from your perspective. ...And that I shall always see all the people's perspective.

Yes, Cinema is a big hobby of mine.

I do have few friends, I am surrounded by wildlife (many animals; free), and music is also another big hobby of mine.


* I think that a great hi-def picture, with good selection programs (movies & all), plus hi-res audio from them Blu-ray Movies and Music concerts is a great way of expanding one's life for the better. ...The visual experience, in addition to the aural one is a closer representation of the real thing. ...Live events; musical and moving life.

When using a smiley like this one; , it is for sure meaning a very innocent sense of humor in the very most friendly way.
I truly hope that you didn't see it any other way, then the one truly intended.
If someone did, my sincerest apology, and I'll be more careful next time at people's sensitivity on uncertainty as to how to interpret my very friendly sense of humor.

I'm very new (fresh) here, and I certainly don't know all of you. ...Takes time to do.

I'll do my very best to adapt slowly, but surely, to the general ambiance. ...Because after all that's all I truly want; to get along with everyone.

Now back to our main topic: Why 4K is Stupid

Like I said before; for me it ain't stupid at all, to the contrary, it is expanding our vision (visual picture) for the much better visual/enriching experience.

Dear audiofreaks,
I've been following this forum for a while but this post seems a bit off to me,
in 2007 there was the SI-2K a larger than 1920-1080 24P camera which was used for 127 hours as well as slumdog millionaire,
so there is material larger than HD for years already. At the same time in 2007 RED came out with the RED ONE a 4K camera.
That one is been used by thousands of tv and film production houses world wide.
Anyhow.... it's 2013 already and guess what: we have 6K and 8K camera's in use.
It's not only the pixels that count but also the size of the chip(s) that are in use by the camera; the larger the chip the shallower the depth of field, we've reached the size of a 6X6 medium format camera chipwise and still every year new amazing state of the art camera's come out to battle the field that once was dominated by 35mm motion picture.

Red One
Red Epic
Phantom 645
SI-2K
Weisscam
