[tde-users] Re: LWN.NET: Trinity keeps KDE 3 on life support

said Felix Miata via tde-users: | 55" 3840x2160 LR TV; 24" 1920x1200 main display; 27" 2560x1440, 24" | 1920x1200, 22" 1680x1050 X3, 31.5" 1920x1080 (TV) displays for secondary | PC and test PCs continuously at ready (6 total always on desk); 14" | 1280x800 laptops; 20" 1600x900 X2, 19" 1440x900, 17" 1280x1024, 14" | 1024x768 X2, any of which can be added to the six. In the guest bedroom | there's a 24" 1920x1200 iMac and 43" 1920x1080 TV. When I gave the 55-inch TV over to the RPi, the first thing I did was set it to 1920x1080 instead of 4k. Remember, DVD quality is 480p. BluRay is 720p, with some expensive and largely impractical exceptions. Going beyond that is mostly to appeal to the more money than sense, keep up with the Joneses crowd. For all but a very few purposes, and at distances of normal use, I defy anyone to find much if any difference between 1080p and 8k. It's like digital cameras, back when the marketing was that more megapixels meant better, even though Sports Illustrated was getting those stunning covers with the 2.7-megapixel Nikon D-1 cameras. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
