would 4K look blurry if you start gaming on 8k?

[saif96]

so i've gotten a new 4K monitor and it looked alot more detailed and sharp and alot less blurry compared to my 1080p monitor so i've been thinking, if lets say 8 years later IF 8k becomes the norm, will we see 8K looking alot less blurry compared to 8K? or is 4K detailed enough that you wont notice higher resolution?

4K is pretty much saturation point, going beyond 4K it's very difficult to notice  the improvement (although its not impossible).

In monitors it'll probably not much look different, on televisions though yes you could quite easily tell the difference.

Resolution matters less than pixel density

Fair point, as screen size increases resolution needs to increase as well but didn't someone work out that at 4K pixels don't become visible until over 100 inches?

DPI is what is important in this regard, not resolution.

 

There's are big differences between 1080p on 6" phone, 1080p on a 24" monitor, and 1080p on a 60" TV.

 

If screen size increases enough then even 4k will start to look blurry.

Deoens on how far you are from the screen and the size of the screen....

With 8k you won't need anti aliasing. With 4k you need a bit but not as much as 1080. Anti aliasing is designed for 1080 or less resolution. At 4k it tends to soften an image.

 

Here is a sample section of a 4k image showing anti aliasing on & off.
