Is 4k a meme? Do you believe it will become the industry standard

I would have to buy an entirely new tv to support 4k which I won't do

4k is not a meme. are numbers a meme?

so fucking stupid

>>84336142
As long as I can see the movie, I don't really care.

It's impossible for the human eye to even see the difference between 4K and 1080p. Same with frame rate; human eye can only see about 24fps.

Keep spending you cash on overpriced TVs and monitors wage Cucks.

Seeing how its just another change in resolution (like we already had with 720 to 1080) it'll probably be the next step once it gets cheaper.
1080p televisions used to be expensive as fuck, but now its the new normal that everyone can afford. In enough time, 4k will probably fall in line with that as well.
A lot of it just depends on how quickly the price goes down and media catches up.

If i am a young aspiring film maker should i just be shooting all my stuff in 4k?

Nice meme, dude.

I'm going to see if I can get uhd playback on my retina iMac. It might not because of copy protection

>>84336142

at normal viewing distances on a typical home sized tv , I think it would be hard to tell the difference between 4k and 1920x1080. I think OLED is more important because of the better black levels.

>>84336142
list 5 movies that are TRUE 4k and that are good

you cant

>>84336332
If you can, yes.

>>84336946
once again, that's like saying hi definition is a meme in 2005 because movie releases are only on dvd

Gonna make the jump this November

I'd never buy a 4k tv but this is bullshit. 4k resolution is extremely noticeable

>Is 2160 a bigger number than 1080 or is that a meme?
That's basically what you're asking.

As with every other format, it will become the norm once pornos make it affordable at consumer level. Then something else might come along.

3D was the true meme, though. So are curved TVs

Bunch of fucking plebs the lot of ya

>>84336332
Nope. If your lighting and cinematography are on point and you can record good sound, you dont need 4k.
Also it is a huge effort to process post-production for very little pay off.

But it's your work, go nuts.

>>84336890

Black levels are overrated.

Every theater I go to never shows true black. Always a dark shade of grey. I think its a flaw with DLP projection.

>>84336278
watching a 4k documentary right now. You're full of shit. When I watched Planet Earth II on my TV it blew my mind. It was really sad having to switch back to CBS to watch the end of the masters after the 4K coverage stopped.

It will eventually, but that all depends on what happens with net neutrality and if the shitty cable/isp companies finally upgrade the infrastructure. Right now pirating is the best way to get 4k, and thats fucking sad. I can't even watch sports or a braodcast show in full 1080p(without upconverting) yet because their system can't handle it.

The only way 4k doesnt happen eventually is if it gets skipped and straight to 8k. But we've been stuck at 720p for over a decade so who the fuck knows

Theres this house with a shitty christmas tree to the left, and these two Czech girls walk up to you and go

Suddenly theres tits popping out in front of your face and they drag you to the couch and hnggghhhh I lose my shit in like 10 minutes, tops.
This is the future of porn. If only it was cheaper so more people could experience it, I think it would really take off, and there'd be a shitload more content than there is now.

>>84336142
I hate it and am against it.

That is, until my crappy laptop for 2009 finally fucking dies already, so I can upgrade and don't have to be stuck on 480p anymore, then I'll be ok with 4K.

Until then, fuck 720 and up. It's pretentious and retarded

Wait 4-5 more years.

4K VR porn is truly the future and worth all the GBs i've wasted on it.

>>84336142
I still have a 37 inch 720p tv. I don't see the point in upgrading. Looks fine to me.

Gearfags are cancer.

>>84338030
I can already see their acne ridden skin caked with make up at 720 and 1080.

In 4k they must look abominable.

>But we've been stuck at 720p for over a decade so who the fuck knows
the fuck are you talking about 1080 has been around for at least a decade

>>84341674
Broadcasts are still mostly 720p or 1080i at best.

>>84341427

>>84341744
what are you talking about even bunny ears get 1080

>>84336142
directv needs to strike a deal with the NFL to let them broadcast the super bowl. I don't see it becoming the norm until that happens

>>84338030
bruh its already affordable, more than half of TVs on sale in stores are 4K and they are usually only like $100 more than the 1080p

>>84341802
1080i

>>84336142
Fuck resolution, who /hertz/ here?

call me when its 8K

the fact they jump from vertical to horizontal to make the number look bigger to morons is a loud and clear statement even the manufacturers realize there isn't a large difference. Especially considering 99.999% of movies were shot in such a way as they can't be mastered beyond 1080p

my monitor is 4k

it was only 900 quid or so

4k is a meme but the HDR that comes with it is not.

>>84342526
This is the best post in the thread. HDR is what counts.

Wake me for 16k.

>>84342516
you realize 1080p = 2K, right?

You realize niggas eyeballed that shit, right?

The cameraman would need significantly better than 20/10 vision to focus to a level that would make a meaningful difference in 4k

>>84342526
4K isn't that much of a meme but HDR is the true selling point.

Your Name. is just 2K upscaled to 4K but the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray would probably look amazing in HDR.

There is also that MGVC thing that Panasonic did which was a predecessor to HDR and most Studio Ghibli Blu-rays supported it, at least in Japan.

I only paid $250 for a demo floor model on the SHARP Aquos 4k 43" tv... seems ok but I still watch my 15 yo Sony WEGA 34" more.

>>84336890
This.
OLED black levels are really close to a CRT.

I tried playing Silent Hill 2 on my LG G6 OLED 4K TV with a PS2 plugged directly to the TV with Component cables just to test the black levels.
And it still feels really great, Silent Hill 2 is a really great demopiece for testing black levels, and it's also a really great game in and of itself.
It was playing in deinterlaced 480i, which would obviously be scaled to the 4K screen.
It looked even better when I used GS Mode Selector to play the game natively in 480p.

I still usually play my PS2 games on my D32E1WU BVM, though, and I only played them on my 4K TV one time.

Are you retarded? 4k is literally four 1080p screens worth of resolution put together. 1080p is 1k because it's literally 1k pixels high.

I think most of us have perfectly good 1080p tv's. It isn't a phone where it gets replaced every two years. When I was a kid we kept tv's until they died. Each lasted like 10+years.

I don't understand the point of 4k if you have to watch everything up-scaled from 1080p anyway.

LMAO

4k-8k is fantastic to film in, because it allows the editors to crop the hell out of a shot, essentially allowing a single take to be made into 2 or 3 which all seem to be a different perspective.

And when that's scaled down for broadcasts you will not be able to differentiate through quality alone.

>>84336142
It's not a meme, it's just going to take a while for everyone to adopt it. Because:
1: 1080p is fine for most people
2: There is much more content NOT available in 4k than content that is (at the time).
3: Big OLED 4k+ displays are expensive.

Once 2 or 3 changes people will fall in line to glorious 4k.

>>84336142
>Do you believe it will become the industry standard in the near future?
No, it's going to be the standard everyone blows their money on and regrets a few years later when 8K rolls out. Think of all the people that got burned on 720p TVs.

>>84336537
It's more than powerful enough, it's just a DRM enabled part of the CPU stopping it. Any cracked or un-DRMed 4k file will be fine.

People always parrot this shit, but I can see the difference like night and day and virtually ANY distance.

Daily reminder that nearly all TV shows and films are shot at 4K or higher and soon enough most streaming sites will feature 4K streaming.

4K is the future. Sorry, idiots. You can even stream 8K videos on YouTube already.

>>84347717

4K is great now only poor people talk shit about it.

>"People always parrot this shit, but I can see the difference like night and day and virtually ANY distance."
That's just your buyer's remorse, mate.

>>84347982
even a lot of old shit is technically higher than 4k when you consider the analog source, assuming the source is still around

Which is a good point since most morons think that old film is lower quality when in reality most of it is extremely high resolution for what it is if the source material is intact. The primary tech leap right now other than just higher resoltuion is HDR which is fucking awesome alongside 4K on a 65 inch screen or larger. OLED is the next level and the "best" but that's only if you do zero gaming on it and primarily use it in a home theater like setup with 4K blu rays. Otherwise it's a waste for all the but the hardcore until the prices come down and they improve in many ways which will be a year or two at least.

>>84347680
Forgot to take into account the draconian internet system burgers have, there's no way to popularise 4k if they have to go back to the old days of buffering.

And let's be realistic, most people can't distinguish from 720 and 1080p unless they try to stretch it.
