I don't know why people make those claims when it's so easy to disprove. The human eye can resolve images that humanity would be hard pressed to duplicate on a TV set with current technology.

Kinda lengthy, but to break it down, the human eye/brain combination can resolve about 570 megapixels. And that's conservative. It wouldn't even break a sweat viewing 4K media.

Yup, 4k is long overdue if you ask me. We lost 3 years at least while TV makers wasted time fig fig ring out that no one wants 3D. Ugh...

Figuring... Stupid autocorrect.

Ugh indeed. Between price-fixing panels to keep the prices high, and this worthless 3D gimmick which kept them even higher, the industry was really set back.

I'm just hoping we even get OLED TV's at the kind of volumes LCD's required to bring the costs down. We might not, and that's the scary thing.

"fig fig ring" - Good band name.

Your inference there is a bit misleading, as that 570mp claim is for the human eye's entire field of view. The article also appears to be oblivious to the fact that the human eye's ability to resolve detail is not consistent throughout it's entire field of view.

That article shows that rod density in the eye drops off significantly past +/- 40º.

That being said, I think the article still strongly supports 4k displays and I personally look forward to upgrading in the next few years when prices come down and available content goes up.

Look I don't know, I don't have an intimate knowledge of the human eye. A lot of this stuff is over my head.

However I can't find any evidence in the OP's claim that the eye cannot distinguish 4k resolutions. Which was my entire point.
