Now it's time to go 8K." --- "Then after 2 hours of listening to me talk about watches I reward them with sub par sex"-No_U_L7 <cite>Orlando_Jordan posted [p:947338064] in 4K is a sc...

BroHelpImStuck 11/18/20 9:29:41 PM #9:	Do you know that sports broadcasts are still in 1080i (which is worse than actual 1080p), most live broadcasts are in 720p and all cable TV is 1080i? We haven't even reached 1080p for any media yet aside from gaming, movies, and porn. So in a way yes, 4K TVs are a scam if you're not doing any of these things. <cite>BroHelpImStuck posted [p:947338350] in 4K is a sc...

Darmik 11/18/20 9:36:33 PM #12:	Orlando_Jordan posted... The image is stretched to 4x size. The pixel density of the 4k TV generally doesn't make this an issue. It's exactly 4x so there's nothing to really 'stretch' Most TV's have some sort of scaler as well. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:947338618] in 4K is a sc...
