IMO, 4k is pretty high for this.

You wanted really 4k over that? Silly human.

A 4K screen is 3840 × 2160, why would you not prefer that?

Uh... watching 4k video, for example?

vanviegen • Jun 20, 2023 • View on HN

Because 4k (and even 1080p) is good enough for most people?

4k is not good enough. What you need is 8k or even 16k(whenever it becomes available) per eye. Otherwise you better stick to a traditional display.

How do they determine ‘almost 4k’?

emkoemko • Jan 21, 2022 • View on HN

i am so used to 4k being a resolution :)

How's the performance with 4K?

SketchySeaBeast • Oct 29, 2018 • View on HN

Is it an actual 4k experience, or is it an upscaled image?
