Monitor resolutions
A sony Z5 has 806ppi (pixels per inch) over its 5 inch screen.....so they physically have the panel technology to squeeze 806 pixels per inch on a screen as per the phone mobile phone mentioned above,.
Note:A Sony Z5 is 5 plus years old so fairly old technology
So say if you made a pc monitor (which is a screen) with 806ppi.
A 27inch monitor which is measured diagonally is actually about 23" wide x 13" high.
So 23" wide x 806ppi is approximately 18500 pixels spread over the width of the 23" wide monitor.
13" high at 806ppi is approximately 10,500 pixels.
So 18500 x 10500 = 194,000,000 (194 million) pixels over a 27 inch monitor.
So divided 194 million pixels by say 4k at 8.3 million pixels this shows that panel technology is 24 x ahead of say a RTX2080TI running a 4k screen at 60 fps (194,000,000 million x 8.3,000,000 million is approximately 24)
So I'm guessing we would need 24 x new generations of GPU to come out to make panel manufacturers think of making a 64k pc monitor
As I said it's just a thought.
I always thought that anything over 4k couldn't look that much better but after seeing 8k I was very wrong....so based on my calculations above why aren't we all gaming in 8k? The panel technology is there but GPU's are lagging way behind.
