Eli5: Is there a level of tv/monitor resolution beyond which the human eye cannot detect further improvement?
In: 29
Key here is diminishing returns. Every time you double the pixels, the image quality improves. At low resolutions this improvement is very significant, but at some point the improvements get smaller and smaller with every doubling, until it’s not worth it anymore.
Can you spot the difference between 4K and 8K? Maybe, if you’re looking for it and you’re close to the screen. But it’s no longer worth adding thousands of dollars for tiny improvements. There’s a bit of an optimum at 4K 60 fps over 1080p 30fps, but after that it becomes very niche for gamers and home theater fans.
