In regular use I prefer 4k, but with games I legit cant tell the difference between 4k and 1440p, I can tell the different between 60 and 120, 180 not really

The main difference to me is that I can completely disable anti-aliasing on higher resolutions, jagged pixels just aren’t as much an issue when there are so many more

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The future is in round pixels.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or just one pixel that moves around really quickly.

Maybe if we had some kind of electron beam we could use to draw on a screen, and the brain just does it's 'persistence of vision' shenanigans?

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, maybe guide that beam with electromagnetic fields. Maybe we can dye phosphors on the front of wherever it's projecting onto so that we can make it a color display.

Yeah and what's up with this flat/concave boring shape we give to TVs. We should make them convex and give them a hump so I can move them easily.

Also who decided to make TVs lightweight? Real TVs have curves.

my 40 inch curved monitor is like a foot from my head too
