And people can’t really tell 30fps from 60fps from 120fps either, right?
Once you see and appreciate the difference, you can’t unsee it. Anything less is jarring.
Print media figured out three to four decades ago that print buyers prefer at least 144 lpi for black shapes, at least 300-600 dpi for grey images, and minimally 300 dpi but ideally 1200 dpi for colour photos people will consider high quality. (Note: For reader convenience I’m mixing lines per inch or lpi with dots per inch or dpi here, lines is per screen but there may be several screens per image, so dpi is the source material you’re trying to reproduce with screens.)
We’ve been settling on computer screen quality for too long. If all we did was video, fine, but we spend most time simulating print.
