Who else fell for the 4k meme? >4k dvds expensive as fuck

I don't watch a lot of TV, but if you are into photography it helps to have a 4K monitor. Also if you have a good enough computer, games definitely benefit from 4K. Plenty of Youtubers are starting to upload in resolutions above 1080 as well

>using footage from a movie shot in the 80s as an example of 4k

>>60175716
4k is a meme unless you work in specific fields like >>60175754 said. Even 4k gayman is pointless, you're getting almost nothing over 1080p for such a huge cost.

>>60175754
>photography
>games
>youtubers

So no one over 18 benefits from 4k?

>>60175806
What about people who watch movies made in this decade? The fact anyone pays for an 80s movie remastered into 4k is disgsuting if the source is not at least 4k it can never truely be 4k

>>60175771
>>60175849

Depending on how the movie was shot and mastered, older movies that used film are much better for remastering in 4k than any of the early digital stuff. Film in general is better for mastering for 4k and even 8k, hell even Imax 70mm can do an equivalent digital resolution of 16k

Remasters like that are bad. Has nothing to do with the resolution. It's the change of the colors to modern pallets of hues of blue and yellow. Another eye rape example is Jurassic Park's remaster.

4k by itself is worthless for most TVs. It may be different if you're in the 3rd world like Europe and sit close to a smaller TV. In American with 50"+ TV and sitting 6ft+ away this little point in 4k. If you have a good 4k set like from Sony the scaling is unnoticeable from 1080p to 4k though. Korean garbage it's noticeable.

See the TNG remaster for an example of how to do a remaster. Well worth buying it.

>>60175806
you're right about youtube, and for games id say the falloff is closer to 30, but you're still correct.
For photography though, you are definitely incorrect.
Another use for a large 4K monitor would be for having many windows open at once, instead of needing multiple 1080 monitors. This is very useful in programming, for example. Also jacking off.

>buy 4K TV or monitor (only slightly more expensive than 1080p)
>pirate 4K bluray rips

pretty good deal

I just got a new TV, which will last me 10+ years hopefully
Obviously bought a 4K TV, because prices are not that high. And I'm not going to try and save $100 by getting a 1080p TV in 2017

>>60175754
People are using yt 4k for the higher bitrate.
1080p is more than enough, but youtube has shit encoding settings

>>60175906
To be fair, Jurassic Park was filmed with way too much exposure. I don't know if that was some retarded artistic choice by (((speilberg))) or what.

>>60175754
The youtube platform isn't even ready for 4k, it simply skims video to 1440p or some shit and only if the youtube gods deem you worthy. The only actual difference is bitrate cap.

My bet is they realized 4k for consumer use is a fad and will probably just skip needless platform adaptations.

>>60176494
I expected nothing less from a person that is 20+ years behind the rest of the world.
Have you heard about the new Sega Saturn? Yeah it's already been released.

So you don't have seatbelts in your car, or an engine, a fridge in your house, RGB colors from your GPU, or the fact that you're even using a computer, you obviously don't use a TFT monitor since that's not American made, or the CRT either since that's also not American.
Have you ever stopped to realize how retarded you are? You should before you hurt the remaining damaged "brain" cells you have.

>>60176611
You wouldn't have a car to put seatbelts in, electricity to run your fridge, monitor, or computer without murrica.

>>60176655
>You wouldn't have a car to put seatbelts in, or cooling your food in a fridge, watching th monitor, or computer without Germany, Belgium and Sweden.

Fixed

Oh and here's something for you to read.

>Electricity is a form of energy and it occurs in nature, so it was not “invented.” As to who discovered it, many misconceptions abound. Some give credit to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity, but his experiments only helped establish the connection between lightning and electricity, nothing more
>nothing more

>>60176723
America is basically the reason you can even buy a car, mass production was invented here.

You can rattle off some arbitrary shit if you want but pretty much everything you use was invented in the US.

>>60176763
>mass production was invented here
I hope you limit that "invention" to the car, because Christopher Polhem wasn't American.

>>60175716
This is the exact same thing that people were parroting when HDTVs first came out.

Give it 10 years, and everything will be 4k, with 8k being the new meme resolution.

how can people be proud of their country thats only like 3 generations old LMAO.

>>60175806
Photography is a hilariously expensive and autistic pursuit for older people with disposable incomes. Have you even seen the prices on ONE decent lens? Or how much autism goes into post-processing? There's a reason /p/ is all older anons.

>>60176763
>America is basically the reason you can even buy a car, mass production was invented here.

By immigrated europeans.

not even kidding - look up the Ford T-Model, it was designed by two hungarians.

>>60176806
Linus Torvalds wasn't born in America but Linux is still American.

:3

1440p and 2160p are great because they can properly upscale older resolution content. 1920x1080 is a garbage resolution that breaks compatibility with everything.

>>60176864
No offense but a lot of people that wanted to change/lead the world became Americans to do it.

You can't repatriate their achievements to their country of origin...

meh I wait for technology to mature before I buy. I've only had 1080p for 4 years now

>1080p content looks like shit on it
Strange to make that comment because the scaling is perfect as both as the same aspect ratio.


>Most films are just "remastered" for 4k, which basically just means they make everything grainy, and fuck with the colors to make them "pop" (use a vibrant photoshop filter)

You know the reason they are even able to "remaster" them is because those movies were filmed on physical film.
How grainy shit looks largely depends on the quality of the film stock they used and how it has held its age

what bugs me the most right now in todays filming they use everything from 2K to 8K, for various scenes yet when it comes out on UHD / Bluray its all marketed as "4K" when its really not.


I've got a 4K monitor and its been great,
When people ask me about 4K TVs I tell them don't bother getting a new TV just for 4K, but if their tv is broken and they need a replacement then yes get 4K

>>60175716

Probably gayming

As long as there's 4k porn it's worth it.

>>60176948
So many see through blouses and nipple slips.

I love HD remastered old films.

I'm waiting for the whole chain to support HDR and DCI-P3 before upgrading my TV.

Dual 4k monitors for programming is GOAT.

>>60175806
No, you must be blind and somewhat immature if that's your thoughts.

>>60175974
Hope you actually checked to see if it's actually supporting Chroma 4:4:4

>>60176899
>1440p can render up to 1600*1200
But 1600p can render 2048*1536 which I used back in 2002 and onward.

my 4k Netflix looks great
it depends on how they shot the film and with what camera
you can tell the difference during out door scenes on high budget shows
it's also more noticable at higher frame rates so turn on that gay smoothing shit your tv probably has

That's already on tons of cellphones. Even 2 year old iphones can do that, so you know every mildly attractive camwhore has already been gifted a device capable of it. Now the demand just needs to catch up.

>>60175716
The difference between 720p and 1080p aren't that noticeable imo. The old 480i broadcasts and 1080p for sure have a big difference. Picture quality on 4k is slightly better than 1080p in my experience. Currently it's like the 3D meme so it's perfectly fine to wait this out until you're ready for an upgrade.

>>60175754
4k/2k/1440p whatever is great for gaming. Downscaling has replaced AA as the way to go. I have a fury card that I use to run games in 1440p or higher which then downscales to my monitors native resolution. I'm gaming in 1080p still though.

>>60176595
I'm not interested in photography, I was just thinking of reasons people would benefit from a 4K monitor, and that seemed like an easy one.

>>60175906
Bottom one is just some filters added in Photoshop or Premiere or whatever they use. This has nothing to do with resolution.

Why does your image use screenshots that came from some weird Yify tier quality encode? The blu ray version looks nothing like that.

The good thing about 4kBD is 10bit H.265 support. 8bit H.264 without heavily grain is a banding festa compared to it.

>>60175716
>Most films are just "remastered" for 4k, which basically just means they make everything grainy,
No, most films are still filmed on film, which has no resolution and is inherently grainy, with mechanical shutter cameras that make the picture slightly blurry (a necessity to make 24 fps watchable). That's why there are severe diminishing returns with 4k.
Making a movie (even digitally) is totally different than recording a video with your cell phone camera.

>Even 4k gayman is pointless, you're getting almost nothing over 1080p

I tried a few 1440p/144Hz monitors last year and came away unimpressed, but the one 4K one I tried, which was just some shitty TN panel, was pretty fantastic desu. Even playing an old game like Mass Effect 3 on it was somewhat mindblowing, coming from a 1080p IPS screen.

Couldn't keep it though, as the viewing angles bothered me too much. Even at 27" there was some yellowing towards the edges of my vision on white backgrounds from a neutral sitting position.

Nice meme retard
4k was worth every penny
Got two 27 inch freesync ips panels for 399 Canadian each

Take a few friends and do a blind test between 720p and 1080p at optimal viewing distance. They won't be able to tell the difference.

>>60181637
Maybe if they're legally blind

>>60175716
Why gives a shit about TV. 4K isn't for plebs like you

Get off /g/ and don't ever post here again

The actual resolution is quite a meme because at regular viewing distances you can't resolve the extra detail.
However OLED and HDR are the real deal, infinite contrast ratio, instant pixel response, and increased colour depth make massive difference to the viewing experience.
