Whatever it can or not, it's stupid to slap on them the same energy efficiency standard as on 4k. They will never be as efficient as 4k, not to say 1080p. Gaps between the pixels take much higher screen space percentage, so give or take they will be less efficient. Not to say they need more complicated and power consuming electronics too.

Well, maybe it will end up making sense to watch nature documentaries on TV with binoculars!  :popcorn:

You say that now but I said the same thing about 4K about 5-6 years ago. Now, I haven't looked back.

Even old HD and even very old SD content looks amazing on modern LCDs with the secret sauce Sony, Samsung, LG etc... are putting into their post-processing. It really gives old content a new life.

I suspect that most viewers couldn’t tell the difference from ‘good’ 625/50 and the new high-def formats with well lit content in a well prepared viewing environment.

It’s all about the ‘racing stripes’ and ‘GT badge’ on the fuel filler cap.

Large screens are great, but did you notice the quality of scriptwriting is inversely proportional to the screen size ?

Don’t even mention HDR and compression artefacts !

Don't come here with your uncommon sense, rare rational thinking and wisdom. Be gone! 😁

Absolutely spot on. The garbage coming into the TV is still the same.

How very dare you! It is not the same, it's massively worse, and descending all the time ;)  Lowest common denominator syndrome at work.

Yes, it is pretty much like Audiophiles!
Why produce resolution that the eye can't use?
