i can't tell the difference between 1080 and 4k at the distance i use it. let alone 8k.
we already have nice enough tvs. what about you guys focus on healthcare and shit now?
That's... not how that works.
how would that be?
could you tell 1080p vs 4k screens apart from, say, a distance of 5m?
I think they meant the people making TVs aren't the ones handling healthcare..
money in our economies is directed in the order of their priority.
developing tv tech seem to be taking precedence over other more important stuff.
5m is like two of my whole house
At a typical distance of 12-15ft, people cannot tell the difference between 720, 1080 and 4K because human eyes have a limited resolving power.
yes exactly!
Surgeons already use cameras trough small holes instead of cutting you open wide. Screen technology finds a way.
i don't really see how that's related.
I would want my surgeon to have 16k screen if that helps them do their job best
it doesn't though
no one is doing sensitive surgery looking at a fucking TV.
