Yes, the resolution doesn’t change but the amount of your visual field it occupies does. Like you can’t make out individual pixels on even shitty vga monitors from 20 feet away. The distance from your face to the screen directly impacts whether or not higher pixel density would be perceptible or not. -

I'd hate going back to a single monitor at this point. It's convenient being able to play a game on one monitor and glance over at a second monitor to see what chapter my audiobook is on or to half assedly watch a youtube video.
three 4k monitors? what does that cost these days?
I get by just fine sitting 6-7ft away from a 100" image produced by a 4k projector. Can have lots of windows open that way. -

Also not true...pixels have no defined size...if said shitty montior had a screen size of 1/3rd of a mile then you'd easily see each individual pixel from 20ft away.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK/TYPE!
resolution is just the density of pixels..not the size of them. you could have a 1080P monitor the size of the moon with each pixel the size of a large city. -

No you couldn't -

2021-04-14 at 9:25 PM UTCWhy would you have a monitor? Its like you want for your vision to degrade. What you should do is hook up a projector (1.8k for a ~4k one atm) in a spare room (a study) and just be done with it.

Never said that pixels have a universal fixed size, just like I never said resolution of a monitor changes with respect to your distance from it. Try pulling your head out of your ass and reading for a change.
The point remains: if you want to model the human eye as a digital camera (which for reasons already mentioned is retarded) then the maximum pixel density of a display that’s perceptible to a camera depends on the amount of the cameras’ field that’s occupied by the display. Aka the distance to the display. -

So you are saying the distance to the display is named Aka? I've never heard that name before. Is it Japanese? -

You implied it with the 20ft comment...duhhhhh.
A pixel could be 100ft square so the 20ft comment is redundant. -

2021-04-15 at 3 PM UTC12k is the limit that a human (with exceptional vision) would/will be able to discern a difference...if you have a 4k, 8k and 12k displays next to each other showing the same image said human would be able to see a difference.
16k TVs are already available, those are pretty much a waste of time.
ETA:
As per the pixel size conversation...I suppose it's possible that there really IS no limit on what "k" a human can detect.
If you have a 100ft 4k display and a 100ft 16k display...I expect you'd be able to see a big difference due to the pixel size being quite large.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Sorta like reading, this type of parlay, is why I'd marry you in a heart beat HTS.
Or at least make sure your-getting-laid-again-rpg is on. -

Fine, if you want to be a pedantic cunt then sure, at 20 ft even a standard sized (let’s say anything under 30”) VGA monitor will have sufficient resolution that a higher pixel density won’t be perceptible to the human eye.
The irony here is you’re actually trying to make the same general point I was. -
