Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I’m gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

    I still remain unconvinced that 4k is really all that hot though. I prefer projecting onto my living room wall and anything above 1080 is pretty much imperceptibly different at a distance… Most families have a similar distance setup and 4k isn’t anything but a label at that distance.

    Large 4k monitors that you’re going to sit right in front of can definitely be appreciated but for movies I think 4k is already over the retina density.

      Try making a Microsoft Paint image with a single pixel wide line, and then offset it by one pixel halfway through. Then put that up and see how far back you need to sit to see the break merge into a single line.

      There’s also some interesting tricks that emulator writers are working on for using those extra pixels to make more CRT-like effects on modern displays.
