Another aspect of this is the limits of human perception.
This has already become a point of conversation in tech
circles, as the resolution technology has outstripped
what the viewer is capable of perceiving, because the
human eye has a finite number of cones/rods with which
to perceive the image. Apple's iPhone4's "retina" display
was when this first generally came to public awareness, as
it has also with 4K+ HDTV displays: at their respective
typical viewing differences, higher resolutions can no
longer be perceived.


for resolution, sure. except that resolution isn't the only metric.

modern displays now have wider colour gamuts, higher dynamic range and
more accurate colour.
