PC leads the race to 4k resolution

While next gen consoles will struggle at 1080p pc gamers will start moving to 4k resolutions in 2013.http://vr-zone.com/articles/sharp-is-ready-for-intel-s-3840x2160-displays/15560.html#

Console gamers are simply destined to be lagging behind.

u mad console bros?

P.S. as always posters below half my level will just be ignored

Tablets have already overtaken consoles for resolution.

Next gen consoles really need to be 1080p for the most part, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing when monitors, notebooks, phones, TVs and tablets will all be running at 1080p or higher resolutions.

YES! Now there are 4,000 small, indiscernible dots on my screen! So excited :Dcharizard1605

4k is what you might want for a small theater screen. It's ridiculous for a 24" monitor.

He is a traditionalist, he prefers the Wii's 27 pixels.

It will be funny if next gen consoles run most of the games at 720p and some at 1080p, if this happened then console gamers will have to leave SW, or hide

Certainly wasn't a few days ago in the thread about the Retina display.

Can't really say I see much of a point with a 4k display unless you're in a professional field such as photo-editing.

probably a lot of console gamers including myself actually dont care as much as hermits seem to think.

Strange concpet.

I am pretty sure that it is going to hurt you, when you see me play the latest nextgen maltiplat on 3840x2160 and your next gen little console straggle to maintain 30fps at 720p :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

We're still far away from that point where human eye cannot see the improvements.Also,large enough pixel density would be of huge importance to gaming,since it would eliminate "jaggies",and the need for AA methods...

Wow 4K? that's an insane pixel density for small monitors.

Yep,we could say bye-bye to jaggies,and to hardware demanding AA methods like MSAA.

Pixel density would solve all that :)

Honestly, who even cares? The original Super Mario Bros. didn't have all this crazy resolution and HD graphics, and I still find it fun to play to this very day. Lupin497

yeah make up theories we've heard them before. i saw massive difference between 1080p and 1600p in 30" and i'm sure i will see the same amount of difference when i get my 2160p monitor. I'm also an audiophile, i can hear massive difference between mp3 and lossless songs but again i have a £300 pair of headphones that bring out every little detail. my advice to you is to start enjoying the finest things in life and stop living like a peasant.SamiRDuran

Attempting to correlate the difference between those resolutions to the GULF between lossless and mp3 is laughable. I get that you're doing it for effect, but going a bit overboard.

I have 2gbs of 1080p wallpapers on my laptop. i'll think ill stick with a 1080p for quite some time(i dont really have a 1080p monitor but my monitor is 900p)

Well, duh. If the Xbox 360 or PS3 tried to run a game at 4k they'd probably explode. :P

We need hardware to handle that resolution. My PC can handle a 3072x2688 PS2 game but it will explode with any modern game at that res. Let alone rendering 60 of those big frames in one second.

when you play on a decent sized tv / monitor you will realize those 4k dots combine to make a better image than 700 dots.

You say that like a bad thing. :?

Say what you will about the iPhone but its display is worlds better than the likes of the 3DS (or worse...the XL).

That's what I was thinking BUT the game will be very hard to render anyway

It's not even 4K pixels. It's far far higher than that. It's like 8 million pixels

When 4K becomes a standard,we'll have GPUs and other hardware that will be up to the task,as always,so I wouldn't worry about that :)

Not too fussed. I'm actually quite happy at 1080p for now (I used to play at 1920x1200).

It will be funny if next gen consoles run most of the games at 720p and some at 1080p, if this happened then console gamers will have to leave SW, or hide

Fixed.

Why are they doing this just now? Only because of Apple? That's kind of sad actually.Loegi
