Can we stop arguing about trivial shit and just get back to the topic before this thread gets locked?

LillyTown:
Well, I'll admit I'm annoyed now... first you state "derpp what mistake?" and then admit that you didn't even know what '4k' referred to. That's what's known as a *mistake*. Do you want a dictionary? I can lend ya one, I've no dire need. Next up, what kind of idiot takes everything they hear as fact? I said you phrased your opinion as if *you* felt it was fact. It's not a big deal to me, I just feel when something is so clearly based on opinion it should be phrased as such.

Again, *I* realise that it's simply your opinion and that's what *you* meant it to be. I just had a problem with your 'matter-of-fact' tone. You seem very defensive.... I'm worried you might have anger issues.

It's clearly to do with big business, the Japanese TV set manufacturers decided 4k/8k etc sounds more appealing. I can't see any other reason in the world.

Mmm.... I didn't realise but I am fairly new around here. You struck me as the type that might play military-shooter games on an XBOX. You haven't denied it but side-stepped it so I'm going to blindly assume you love the Call of Duty on XBOX and probably eat boxes and boxes of Ho-Hos with Mountain Dew while you play.

For my final attack..... Raising Heart.... STARLIGHTOOOOO BUH-REA.... Oh, wrong show ;) What I meant to say was, they're known as 'parentheses' in plural. The singular form is 'parenthesis'.

I admitted that mistake plenty of posts back. I thought you had to be talking about something else because of that fact, and it was rather annoying.

Honestly, I don't even give a shit anymore. This is just pointless and annoying.

Yep, it has nothing to do with them wanting to adhere to some obscure photo standards (which is why speaking of that matter is silly). They saw the terminology and decided to publicize it because it sounded better. I happen to not watch any TV, so I naturally assumed that 4K in the topic title was simply 4xxxp resolution, and I made a mini rant about how I didn't understand why such was the case.

I'm not bothering with the rest of that.

Anyone here have a 4k TV?

LillyTown:
Bro, I don't want to fight and it sounds like you don't either. I'll assume we're all adults here and while it might feel good for a few seconds to correct someone it's certainly not how I like to 'get my kicks' so I'm happy to forget about it. I didn't read the posts after the one I initially replied to which was probably an error on my part. I often do that so I don't forget what I'm replying to or have to scroll down/open another tab and reread it. I hope you realise that you were very defensive when Mistgun corrected you and understandably when I corrected you again. It was an honest mistake I made but a mistake none-the-less and I'm sorry.

I hope you don't mind that this post is kind of long but I want to be clear that I'm sorry for the immature, low-brow remarks I made. I try to avoid that outside of youtube and other such slums but my pride got the best of me. I'm also sorry that I likely wasted your time because I was so caught up in arguing and wanting to be 'right'.

As a closing remark, the first time I saw '4k' I thought it was as you said, 4000 pixels in the vertical orientation. As computers love the power of 2 it made sense to me and sounded like a massive gain in resolution, I was psyched up. I'm not that well-read on the matter but I'd guess at this point that 8k wont' be very common and will sort of be a specialist thing until 16k comes in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, as for the actual topic of the thread... I'm excited for 4k but I've little passion for any of the media likely to be available early on. Newer TV shows, Hollywood movies, nature shows/documentaries.... It would be nice for viewing artbook scans/digital images in general.

That brings up another point.... people say they can't see a difference but I've many artbooks scanned at massive resolutions, some images being like 7kx4k or so. Viewing them full-size obviously only a fraction of the image is viewable on my 1080p screen but it's not only sharper at full-size, there's finer detail... the information that isn't displayable at lower resolutions like 1080p. Another example would be video games; newer games look much nicer at say 1600p than at 1080p, edges are much sharper, gradients smoother, curves 'more' round, and generally finer detail.
