4k monitors in portrait orientation are amazing for productivity. It's a shame more people don't do this

What’s the benefit over 2k monitors in portrait?

I'm so content with 1080p

Well now see my cousin Skeeter got himself a 8k TV with that settlement money he got from when he got run over by that bmw downtown tryin to get his kids back ya know? At the courthouse? Anyway he was sposed to use that money to pay fer his doctors and whatnot but he got himself that TV and the dang thing wouldn't fit through the door! Got her in to the trailer but couldn't go no where so he put that sucker up right outside has movie nights the whole park can come n see. Course ol Skeet likes them naughty flicks you know with the blood and gore and titties n stuff, talkin bout like Dusk Till Dawn, talkin bout some Striptease, uh you know what's the other one the one where the girl takes off her bathing suit Fast Times that's the one. Anyway the boys in the neighborhood LOVE ol skeets movie nights but I think some o them parents are gonna set his trailer on fire for too long here now.

I like 4k for documentaries and cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you're standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

Hi Bill!

Sounds like you have motion smoothing on.

Resolution alone isn't enough to fuck that up. I noticed it first when watching The Hobbit in cinemas at 48fps. It makes things that are real look very real, and unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.

Nothing is released in 8k so why would someone want something nothing is in?

Nobody likes a grammar-nazi. Due better mein fuhrer.

Ok, good tip. I'll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

I'll take a pair of rubber feet too!

That's the dumbest part of it all is that pirates seriously get the best movie/TV experience of anyone. I mean, maybe if you spend a shitton on DVD and BluRays to rip you can match that experience, but even that can be legally dubious depending on the jurisdiction

You'd basically need to be sat less than the screen size away from it in order to see any difference at all. And that's if your vision is perfect.

Chances are you wouldn't be able to tell for video content even then. I can only really tell on gaming when the anti aliasing is shit.

Nothing is produced in 8K either.

The only complaints I've ever heard about 60fps are from gamers who prefer higher refresh rates. Does anyone advocate for framerates to be lower than 60??

Yes, movie people complain that more than 24 fps looks like soap operas (because digital TV studio cameras moved to 60 fps first).

I’m content with 480. High quality isn’t important for me. I still listen to mp3’s that I got 25+ years ago.

Me too. I don't even need 60hz. I get motion sickness if a screen goes over 30hz. I guess I'm officially old.

Computer monitor with multiple simultaneous 4k displays?

Grasping at straws here

TV and movies I'm totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that's what the cinema is for.

But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.

But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day
