Anyone find it funny how most of the people clamoring for 4K or 5K don't even do photo or video editing?

If you just said Dell will do something better than Apple..Makes sense that all 5K displays would be equal, since we know for a fact that all 1080p screens are identical in cost and quality. Wait, what?
WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THIS TECHNOLOGY UBIQUITOUS YET?
I think Apple made the right choice with the 5k screen. Ars recently did an article on why Apple chose 5k vs 4k and it's because 5k is better for production and editing of 4k video. With a 5k screen you can display an entire, unscaled 4k video and still have room left for toolbars, menus, and controls.

Cute that Dell still thinks they can sell their 5K monitor for $2500 when Apple is doing an entire computer with a 5K screen for that much.
The computer is low end on the Mac and I don't think you can use it as an external display so kind of useless if you have a high end gaming PC needing 5K display.
4k tvs are a bargain when you consider what the price of an hdtv was when it first came out. I do not get this push for more pixels though as the human eye can resolve only so much detail.
Out of curiosity, what sorts of situations does the response time of IPS monitors hold you back on? I have an 8ms response time and I've never found it to be an issue, twitch gaming is in no problem. Now I imagine someone competing in an actual tournament might need the subtle difference, but it has never once been in an issue with fast paced-deathmatch games. On old IPS monitors you could see the trail of fast changes, it was awful, but for me the difference between 8ms and 2ms just really isn't that big a deal.Rather than making even larger display, I would love to see more effort put into making a panel that have an image quality close to IPS and a response time similar to TN

My point is I can't see the difference except on an EXTREMELY minute level compared to a CRT, to the point where it's never adversely affected me in any way for gaming. However, I'm not a professional player who spends 8+ hours a day playing, maybe at that level, the difference matters.What does it matter if its a tournament or not? You do realize this is a computer forum with many people who would compete in tournaments right, but the reality is why would that even matter. If someone plays casually once a week or at the highest level neither of them want the stupid monitor to be slowing them down and impeding their experience.

As for "impeding the experience", I'll take a monitor with accurate colors and excellent viewing angles with a fast enough response time that it's not a problem for me in any game over a TN monitor any day.
It is also a doubling in resolution of 2560x1440. This is the biggest reason to go 5K, because fonts and graphics scale 2x to increase sharpness without changing proportions, size, or spacing. Its the same reason Apple went with the resolutions for the retina display Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad.
My 46" could be better. In fact for Computers 1080 was a step back from where they were before 16:9 became dominant. Even my last CRT trumped 1080 in actual total pixels.
But the 5k thing is a one-upsmanship thing by apple which will cause proliferation of resolutions in displays and drive cost to all consumers There's nothing wrong with offering better but make it a significant improvement. Not a small change that breaks standardization.. .
I'm sticking with 1080P. Screw your 4k and 5k crap.
Well by that definition, almost ANY videocard is "entirely adequate" for 4k gaming. I bet there are plenty of graphics cards out there that could handle Quake 3 on ultra at 60fps @ 4k.

I have a 20" CRT that does 2048x1536@120Hz as well. Of course, I don't use it simply because of desk space, heat, size, contrast, etc...
IMO, they should make monitors do higher refresh rates before worrying about resolution. Heck, I don't see higher res as a hard thing to do anymore. I mean, come one, if you really want super high res, just tie a bunch of Samsung cell phone screens together: 1080p for every 5" diag...I could fit 9 to 12 of those screens in the same space my 28" monitor now takes.
He was a prophet. We just misinterpreted his words:

I resent your implication that I an an idiot, and your implication that James E. Fawcette, writer for InfoWorld, (April 29, 1985 issue) is a Microsoft hater. It wasn't trendy to hate MS until at least the mid 90s.How long will idiots keeping repeating a completely made up quote by haters?

Seriously though... how can a quote that someone said 20 years ago about TECHNOLOGY be relevant today??
