4K Video + Monitor and Computer Specs
kitamesume:
speaking of viewing distance, the sofa is a bit over 2meters away from the TV, the dining table is a bit over 3meters.
at that distance with the 32" 1366x768 and a 720P source it looks ok-ish, its like 100 soft-cubic(madvr) of 720P to 1080P on 21.5" monitor @ 1meter distance.
this is what 720P upscaled looks like on my 21.5" or what the monitor suppose to be getting.

LillyTown:
Yeah, soft-cubic looked quite a bit worse, lost all fine detail and sharpness. Native 1080p looked best but again I've a 1080p screen and to compare I scaled all shots to 1080p. Hmm, confusing stuff when you're scaling and scaling and scaling. Maybe I'm using the wrong term... I'm no expert but I think my eyes are very keen. I don't think it really takes great eyes, either... Most people realise that even the best video doesn't look the same as seeing something in person.

Second, if you say "that girl is cute" instead of "I think that girl is cute" or "that girl looks cute to me" you're phrasing your opinion as if it were fact. Anyway, you seem to have the issue here being both incorrect and being an ass about it.

I know the semantics, I'm asking you where the fuck in my post you see me saying "that girl is cute", per se. Furthermore that's really fucking idiotic because by default all interpretation of speech is subjective, hence you can't even factually prove that I was utterly saying I believed everything in that post was indisputable fact. Normally, in which case, you go to the original author to clarify, rather than making dumbshit assumptions like "Goddamn I fucking suck at interpreting shit, so I'm going to say that you're just pushing facts out here, because I'm a dumb motherfucker." Case study for that quotation is you. Either that, or hey, you just assume that since the person is saying that, it's their OPINION unless they otherwise specify that they believe it is an objective fact.

Do I look like I give a fuck? Since you can't see me here, I'm going to tell you: no.
--- Quote --- Many companies and organizations have released 'recommended viewing distances'. This is nothing more than a suggestion, sometimes based in science, sometimes not. I'd go with what THX suggests if you had to. I like to sit close enough that the screen fills more of my view if I'm doing some 'serious viewing' so I'd prolly go with like 5ft from a 65" screen. I don't know why you'd bring up 'normal' people, that reads as 'typical consumer' to me. Don't you realise 'most' people don't know jack shit?

Goddamn, we have an e-hipster here. I'm glad you love shoving the TV in your face.
--- Quote ---It's not just *me* that's 'suddenly jumping...' etc., the term came about from the field of digital photography. It's been in place for a while, and 4k screens have just started to gain some semblance of acceptance.

Holy shit, a line from the wiki.
--- Quote --- The '2160p' shit is the BS term that just came about out of nowhere.
--- End quote ---
How the fuck is it a "BS term that came out of nowhere?" Rather, since when have you heard a 1920x1080 resolution TV referred to as a 2k set? Fuck, I mean go look at Wikipedia's "2k resolution" entry. Now go look at the 1080p resolution entry. Now go look at the 4k resolution entry. Compare the lengths. The shit just outright doesn't make sense. 2160p hardly comes out of nowhere, it just doesn't have any kind of ring to it. That's probably why they're trying to steer towards 4k for marketing purposes.
--- Quote ---Probably noobs like yourself trying to keep with the lame '720p, 1080p' shit.

Goddamn, fucking e-hipster in the house. Stop the infection.
--- Quote --- It's more useful to just write out the horizontal x vertical resolution so that there's no confusion ie 1280x720. Some people will refer to the aforementioned 1366x768 standard as '720p' while others might call it '768p'. Best to avoid confusion but 4k is more of an umbrella term for several possible resolutions but I think what we're talking about here is '4K UHD', 3840x2160; a 'doubling' of 1920x1080 along each axis for a total of 4 times the pixels(about 2M vs 8M)

I'm really glad you know how to do math. (2*x)^2 is indeed 4x^2. And hence, (2*x)*(2*y)=4xy.
LillyTown:
Seems you insist on personally insulting people when they point out your mistakes. I'll only argue in a civil manner so I'd appreciate if you could find your caregiver and tell them you're having a fit and could use your medication. First of all, I don't see how you could think all speech is meant to be interpreted as opinion. When someone says, "my name is...." or "I'm 12 years old today...." that's meant to be taken as *fact*. Interpretation of anything is subjective, you can interpret what I write any damn way you want but it doesn't change what's written there.
You wrote "... 4k? Total waste. Overkill." as if you were the final word on electronics. Ohh, but that's just your opinion? Maybe say "I feel 4k would be a total waste but I can't really say as I've no experience...."
I've no clue what an 'e-hipster' is but I associate hipsters with Apple products, ugly, tacky shit, pretentiousness, hybrid cars and Angry Birds-esque casual games. I could be way off but whatever I totally dislike whatever I just described.
If you'd bother to read the Wiki article you'd know that the term '4k' has been around much longer. It comes from the digital photography field and has been around longer than the term '2160p' in all likelihood.
Again, no clue what your lame lil' slang word means. I'm going to take a wild guess here and assume you play console videogames, probably love the Call of Duty and Mass Effect.
Not sure what you're getting at with wonky-text maths. How is 2x^2 equal to 4x^2? Regardless, how does it relate to this conversation?

What mistakes? And what civil manner? I assume calling me a noob and replying in ways that are obviously meant to annoy me are part of your normal civility, which is hilarious. At least I admit I"m not being civil, but I also think it's hilarious that not being civil on a forum automatically means I've got anger issues and need medication in real life. Furthermore, no it's not meant to be taken as a fact. It's meant to be "them saying something." If you just seriously take everything at face value I feel very sorry for you.

Actually, if you noticed that it follows a specific section that is me voicing my experiences with a 60 inch TV, it's clearly me stating that, from what I had experienced, 4k (which is my mininterpreted 4k, which actually means 8k), is overkill. Again, interpretation is subjective, and the only way to be clear is to ask the original author, not assume random shit.

I don't give a fuck what you find on there. My entire point was that I didn't understand why all of the sudden they (whoever popularizes this shit) were using random-ass photography terms instead of the 720p and 1080p terms that were practically used to categorize practically all HDTV's up till this point. ie, why are we switching from <vertical resolution>p to <round horizontal resolution to nearest thousand, cutoff last three digits>k for no real reason.

I'm going to take a wild guess you're trolling, and/or you're being really fucking retarded, because there's a fucking PC building topic in this very same subforum. Guess who the TC is.

They're called parenthesis. Learn to use them.
