Eli5: Is there a level of tv/monitor resolution beyond which the human eye cannot detect further improvement?
In: 29
There’s a point at which our eyes cant really tell the differnece between different levels of resoluion on a TV or monitor. This is because our eyes have a certain amount of detail that they can see, and once the resolution is high enough we can’t really see any more detail.
It’s like when you look at something really close up. If you get too close you can’t really see any more detail, even if there’s more there. It’s the same with TV and monitor resolution. If the picture is really high resolution our eyes can’t really pick up on any more detail.
That doesn’t mean that higher resoluion isn’t important. Even if our eyes can’t tell the difference higher resolution can still make the picture look smoother and more realistic. It also makes the picture look better when it’s really big like on a big TV or movie screen.
