a new TV thread

[strife]

I'm gonna be interested to see if 4k catches on. I feel like that's actually more resolution than most filmmakers would care to use. I feel like with Blu-Ray we saw the industry trying to catch up with set quality, makeup quality, lighting, etc -- stuff that looked okay in SD looked like 1960s Dr. Who in Blu-Ray.

4k is going to have the same problem. Something that wow'd you on Blu-Ray is going to reveal the fakery if released in higher resolution. I feel gamemakers will be loath to support it because if the extra processing power and art assets required to really take advantage of that level of detail. It would be like buying a 1900x1200 monitor back in 1991 -- tempting, but the ability to actually use that resolution is going to be limited, probably for quite a few more years.

Not to mention the amount of bandwidth to provide regular programming in 4k. The whole net neutrality subject comes to mind when thinking about it(not to get political, but it's relevant).
