4K Survey and Discussion for Uni Assesment

SilenT_LobsteR

Hey guys, 

I'm doing a research paper on the relevance of 4K at the moment and whether it's worth it for content creators and movie studios to invest in 4K. We've seen a lot of youtube channels moving over to 4K but i'm looking to see both why and if they feel it's worth the extra cost, processing power, storage space etc 

There's no doubt we're moving past 1080p, while 1440p has been a reasonably popular in Monitors, for a long time 1080p has been the highest we could get in a TV until now with 4K and higher. 

If you could take 2 minutes to fill out this quick 10 question survey that would be amazing! As well as any discussion you have can be placed down below. 

I'm not making money off this, it's for a University assignment and as such any comments you give here may be referred to in my paper. Serious answers only please  :D 

Thanks for your time!!!

Done, I definitely think 4k should be used by all professional content creators (like LMG, MKBHD, etc) not only to give people who already have 4k monitors higher quality, but to pave the way for the future standard of 4k.

Done. My thoughts on 4k, as someone who had a 4k monitor for a few weeks and still decided to "downgrade" to 1440p, basically are:

The panel you get with "affordable" TN 4k monitors is usually not that great. I do not edit videos or pictures for a living, but I still enjoy the benefits of a nice IPS/PLS or VA screen over TN. More accurate and more life-like colours and especially better viewing angles! With a 28'' monitor you get very noticeable colour shift even if you stare straight at it, something that I don't want to accept for my everyday work.

Text scaling.... 4k at 28'' was just too small for me, I couldn't read comfortably without some kind of scaling. The extra space seems awesome at first, but in the end you have to give it up again and you end up with blurry text in applications that don't do scaling very well. That really put me off.

Gaming obviously was a concern as well, driving games at 4k is insanely taxing and you basically need 2 high end GPUs to play modern games with high settings at that resolution.

 

I think those were my main issues, I'll edit the post if I remember something else.

Answered, and I gave a lengthy piece of my mind as to why 4k is not quite the best step in terms of benefits for society

Home is where the heart my desktop is.
