    How the FUCK is that even close to insightful?

    That statement is like saying "why not leave roads to horse traffic and run mechanical transportation on rails"

    oh... and please tell me how you can provide me a 120Hz image on my 60Hz hardware that I already have.

    No... you don't need a 60 inch panel to make it worth wile... he made a claim that 32 inches was pointless if you sit outside the proper viewing range of a 32 inch screen.

    If your aim is realism, then you will not be using a panel size beyond its maximum viewing range.

    Yes, 4K at 24 FPS (why put this limitation on it though?) would look more real than 3d at 48 FPS because people's depth perception in real life drops off after about 20 feet. In a movie theater you are sitting much farther away than that but still have depth forced on you... on top of that, if you are not looking at the image directly you get parallax (even at 48FPS). a 4K production would not give you any problems like that.

    The 3d projectors in theaters do offer 4K already. they just need to be provided the content... and yes... higher FPS will make ANY production look more realistic....it would make 4K look that much better than 3d.

    So, put it on a 60 inch panel. It still looks a lot better and more real than 3d content.

    Why are you even bringing FPS into this discussion? that is an entirely different aspect to realism.

    One of the specs for 4K actually uses 3840 pixels.

    but please tell me how having slightly more pixels than exactly 3840 wide would prevent you from setting up a 4 quadrant screen with each quadrant containing a 1080p image.

    Face facts, your a fucking dumb ass that doesn't know shit about resolution.

    Maybe. but it still stands that 4K looks more real than 3D.

    Umm...it is a 4K panel....they have those at trade shows...they are called monitors and are used in the creation of most high def content now a days since they pretty much shoot anything digital in 4K today.

    4K images look much more real than 3D. go check a 4K display out at NAB or something... yes, it can be blow up huge, but on a 32 inch panel, it seems like you are peering through a window.

    hmm...If I had a 2K monitor...then I could place two documents next to each other and see all the content side by side...and 4K is 4096 wide, so you are not getting 16 HD images...just 4.

    Which endeavours? 50% of their endeavours have utterly failed and been cancelled, another 25% are doomed, 20% are losing money.

    Leaving a 5% success rate (count those endeavours on one hand).

    I'm not saying the "let many flowers bloom" approach is wrong, but please don't tell me they're all or even majoritorially successful.

    labs are not endeavours ...they are experiments.

    that number is incorrect.... what you probably saw was that the iPhone accounts for 70% of the profits of the smart phone market....that is different than volume of handsets sold.

    I upgraded from the original mytouch (that I rooted) to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and it took me a weekend to root it because of its special complications... but it is seriously a better world when you root an android phone... unlike jail breaking an iPhone where you live with worry over the next x.y..z release of the iPhone firmware.
