A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

Selling TVs and monitors is an established business with common interest, while optimizing people's setups isn't.

It's a bit like opposite to building a house, a cubic meter or two of cut wood doesn't cost very much, even combined with other necessary materials, but to get usable end result people still hire someone other than workers to do the physical labor parts.

There are those "computer help" people running around helping grannies clean Windows from viruses (I mean those who are not scammers), they probably need to incorporate. Except then such corporate entities will likely be sued without end by companies willing to sell new shit. Balance of power.
