What is the limit? 16K, 32K, 256K? -- nm - Amoxy Aug 30, 09:22 12
- short answer - until the image becomes indistinguishable from real life. the issue right now is refresh rate - 60Hz is nice, but still recognizable - colin Aug 30, 09:37 3
  - I have some content that broadcasts in both HD and 4k simultaneously ... I can mostly see the difference but it's not dramatic - Reagen Aug 30, 09:43 2
    - 4k is definitely a step up in image resolution, but even them, you're getting a very compressed version for transmission. - colin Aug 30, 09:45 1
      - Fair enough. Re: upscales, lots of things originally aired in SD look horrendous in HD -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 30, 09:48
- supposedly Disney is already scanning the classic movies into higher resolutions... -- nm - Remlik Aug 30, 09:37 1
  - 35mm has about a 4k resolution available. 70mm, much more, but it's rarer. Once we go beyond 4k, content is a big issue. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 09:38
- That's a good question that gives me an excuse to email Tex, thanks! - David Aug 30, 09:29 1
  - IM: heh -- nm - mud Aug 30, 09:34
- depends what size of display we're talking about - Reagen Aug 30, 09:28 2
  - (each pixel in the board at the Cowboys' stadium is 20mm) -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:31 1
    - 20mm is the pixel pitch, but direct view LED isn't exactly apples to oranges in comparison. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 09:43
- To infinity - Spawn Aug 30, 09:27
*dusts off old 'look at all the content there isn't' 4K jokes* -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:17
speaking of, do we think OLED vs LED is worth it? I mean, now, at current price points. -- nm - amanda Aug 30, 09:16 2
- I like OLED, it's very sexy, but a well made LED will perform fairly close as far as dimming zones, etc. -- nm - colin Aug 30, 09:40
