at some point you get diminishing returns because people can only pay attention to so much of a screen at once but oh well, more better means more fun yay

too big now perhaps but not too big forever

the size of a video also depends on both the pixel resolution, and the screen's ppi. 80,000 pixels could end up being 8 inches on a super high def display.

bigger resolutions aren't always better though, they just have the ability to display images in higher detail, which isn't always what an image wants to do.

going from standard def to HD was a pretty big leap but the 4K thing is gon take longer to catch on probably

apparently definition refers to pixel resolution and not to ppi so i was using it wrong

high definition apparently starts at 480p

480p being hd :o

i kno there are things like distance from the screen and stuff that affect how we see pixels like a phone would take less pixels to b properly "retina" than a laptop or a tablet

i always assumed 480p and the like meant "480 pixels", but the p actually means progressive as opposed to interlaced

the 480 part does mean 480 pixels though

interlacing is trippy like how do they trick us into thinking it's not alternating lines of pixels

i like how we had the same TV standards as japan tho i guess it's less relevant now w/HD urrything
