of course "normal viewing distances" is always implied when talking about monitors. And if you REALLY want to get pedantic you need to talk about pixels per degree. The human eye can see about 60. according to the very handy site https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/ https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/
a 27" 1080p screen has 37ppd at 2 feet.
a 42" 4k screen has 51ppd at 2 feet.
a 27" 8k screen has 147ppd at 2 feet which is just absurd.
You have to get to 6 inches for the PPD to be 61
- numpy-thagoras 2y agoBut a 42" 8K screen should have around ~100 ppd, which is really nice but not unnecessarily detailed. I know I'll be gunning for the 42" 8K's whenever they actually reach a decent market price. Sigh, still too many years away.
- delamon 2y ago> The human eye can see about 60 I cannot brag with sharp eyesight, but I can definitely tell difference between 4k@27" at 60cm = 73PPD and 5k@27" at 60cm = 97PPD. Text is much crisper on the latter. I've also compared Dell 8k to 6k. There is a still a difference, but it is not that big.
- UltraSane 2y ago"Much crisper" You must have exceptional eyesight.
