minus-squareRai@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoThat’s EXACTLY what people said about 720p to 1080p. Source: sales bitch when 1080p came out. Blatantly false. 1080p to 4k is a fucking huge different no matter what device, size, or distance. I’m not trying to be combative—I run all my stuff at 1440p144hz. 1080p to 4k at couch distance is HUGE though. If I could easily run 4k144hz I would, but that’s not in my budget right now. 8k is even more insane but you’re right—you need a BEAST of a computer to be able to display that.
