8K multimedia

I thought 4K was the sweet spot for image resizing but I guess 8K is not too far away (26MP images). Zoom in on one of the native resolution computer generated virtual reality images and be amazed.

I have no idea how much an 8K HDTV or video camera would cost. That's probably why they are computer generated graphics.

Well, there is a real problem, most Camera club committees can't shake themselves away from 1024*768 in case it brings on the end of their world as they know it, poor soles

By the time they reach this level we will be in the middle of the next ice age

Remember those on this forum not too far away kicking and screaming that they would never let go of 1024*768

The human eye is equal to a 52 MP camera in resolution. So an 8K resolution monitor that can display 33 MP images is not unreasonable. Faster GPUs are on the horizon.

Not sure why anyone would want to use 1024x768 in the 21st century. Projectors have increased in resolution and dropped in price. I think the minimum resolution should be 1920x1080.

8K = 7680 × 4320 resolution
