Tom's Hardware's CES 2017 Best In Show

8K makes it garbage in my book. So what? It's useless for the VAST majority of folks. Come on - let's stop the Ksanity here. 4K is plenty and anything beyond at the standard monitor size becomes ridiculous (as mentioned the start menu is impossible to see and why scale down a monitor?) Silly silly silly Dell monitor. Your opinion may vary.

"640K should be enough for anyone."

Does that response indicate that you believe human eyes will progress to reading smaller and smaller text from greater and greater distances?

Imagine a world where there was this thing called software, and that software let you render text at any size you wanted...

Seriously, if you think that the fact that there exists some braindead software can't handle high pixel densities is an argument against 8K screens, then you should probably find yourself another job. I guess you'll be renouncing high end phones next due to their evil high pixel densities and their life threatening ability to display tiny text.

Ah, so the name may be apropos, I thought maybe it was a play on your actual line of work.You'll notice I didn't renounce anything and was only referring to your last comment 😀

OK, whatever, but you avoid responding to the point, which is telling: do really think that we shouldn't have high res screens because some software doesn't handle it? Should we just stop now and be done? The original comment I was responding to was idiotic, and you seem to support it: 4K should arbitrarily be the limit, there are no benefits for higher res screens and the Windows start button is apparently the key determinant of screen resolution. When you're done trying to my username to mock me, in vain, maybe you could address even one of these points?

I'm not a monitor guy, I just made reference to your comment because that misquote is so often abused (ie, if he had said 640k was enough, he would have been referring to the things you could do with the combination of his software and appropriate hardware at the time, not in the future).
