THE TRUTH AND HYPE ON 4K, 8K, UHD AND HDR
Jose Antunes of Provideo Coalition reviewed Paul Turner’s new ebook.
While many see higher resolutions as the sign of better image quality, the truth is that better pixels instead of more pixels may be the way to go. A free e-book entitled The Truth and Hype on 4K, 8K, UHD and HDR explains why.
Beyond 4K most viewers will never appreciate the detail on their TV screens, simply because while image resolutions on screen are unlimited, the human vision is not. So why do we keep running after a moving target like “more resolution”?
This insane quest has one culprit: marketing. Many TV manufacturers have been proclaiming that this will be the year in which higher resolution screens will become the norm. This is similar to what was said about higher frame rate sets a couple of years ago – even though at that time, the only video that could be watched at higher frame rates came from video gaming consoles.
