They got movies coming out now in 2160p
Is that like 4K or higher?
This kind of stuff always makes me laugh because it's just a placebo effect. The human eye can only see so much, we'd have to have vision like birds to see 4K 🐦
Then I REALLY love people that are like yo! OMGZORE I saw this like awesome commercial for 4K and it was like AMAZING!!!
Me: right, Because you want a 4K TV, and you saw how awesome it looks on your NOT 4K TV so you really didn't see 4K did you! 🙄
@Wetrix 2160p is just 4k, they're the same resolution just listed differently.
There's a lot below and while its still simplified, the TLDR is, 4k is awesome but certainly not as good as it seems in stores.
I have two 1080p monitors, one 4k monitor, and two 4k TVs, I see an insane difference on the TVs compared to 1080p like it's a little crazy the first time you see it, but not so much on the monitors due to the smaller screen.

Don't get fooled by the in-store displays, people think they'll take home a TV and it will look like that. It won't. Ideal lighting for the lowest shine/reflection, mounted at a good angle, and the big thing - refresh rate. Almost all modern TV whether its live, on Netflix, on Hulu, wherever, generally plays at 24 FPS. This is the reasonable framerate to conserve bandwidth while making it still look like normal motion.
2/3
All of the frame rate trickery also goes for commercials, getting ad companies to play their ads at 120 FPS recorded then played back at 60 to still give that crisp motion blur on people's non 4k TV so they still want the 4k TV that the company is advertising. Pretty smart.
In the stores, they play content at 60FPS, making the TV look smoother than your TV at home, therefore making your brain perceive it as higher quality due to the fact that you've probably never seen video recorded in 120 FPS played back at 60 FPS (which is what generally gives it that crisp motionblur). So despite what any rep tells you, no, that's not "just how 4k looks", like always it's part of their trick to get you to spend more money.
3/3
