4K screen on a 15" notebook
Mort Linder:
What is the pixel array size in a 4K screen? E.G. 1920 x 1080? It has to be 4,000 pixels horizontally, or close to that. That's what the 4K means! 3840x2160 is one standard. It's the same principle for 5K. The iMac Retina 5K has a resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels, e.g. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

4K screen on a 15" notebook

I'm wondering how much sense a 4K screen on a 15" notebook would make. In a shop I opened a 42MP image on a 15" notebook with 4K screen. It didn't look that breathtakingly sharp. Or to put it differently, is anybody using a 15" notebook with a 4K screen and is it significantly sharper than a 15" notebook with a 2K screen? I went from a 2560x1440 27" iMac, to a 5120x2880 Retina 27" iMac. First and lasting impressions are that they're not that different in day-to-day use. Close up the Retina display is astonishingly sharp in comparison. Up close, text for example is noticeably pixelated on the lower res screen, no pixelation on the higher. The Retina's backlight is more even. But at normal viewing distances, not much difference - including photo work. No regrets - I happened to have the money to afford the Retina model (not that I had much choice if I wanted a new iMac). I would add that I've nothing approaching the level of interest/experience of most of you on this NG. That said, I recently repaired a 2007 1920x1200 24" iMac, and its display is mush by comparison to either. -- Cheers, Rob |

Joe has told you that Apple uses the horizontal dimension. You seem to be claiming that use the horizontal definition for the Mac and the area for the Retina Macbook Pro. The closest that I can find to Apple claiming that is that the Macbook Pro supports up to two 5K displays. There is no claim that the Macbook Pro has a 5K display. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

He can always be counted on to argue with anything even if his argument conflicts with one of his previous arguments. Here he objects to clinging to rigid definitions and ignoring real world usage. It seems like just yesterday he was ignoring the real world usage of "long lens" and clinging to the rigid definition of "long-focus lens". He's never met a statement where he won't reply with "nope". -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

4K screen on a 15" notebook
Coming back to the original topic, how much sense make 4K screens on a
15" notebook PC? If they are not noticeably sharper, I would just buy a cheaper notebook with a 2K screen. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at https://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

No, no one in the "real world" uses "long-focus lens" interchangeably with "long lens". Just in your little world of "nope". "Long lens" is always used in a technically correct way since it is used to describe what is technically what they consider to be a long lens. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
