Well Nintendo doesn't fall for the 4k games meme and they get nothing but shit from the gaming community at large because their systems are "weak" and their games don't have ultra HD graphics, so what the fuck do you guys want?
4k meme is holding us back
The Switch seems to be really successful though.
Mario Odyssey actually looks nicer than most games on much more powerful systems because they didn't fucking destroy it with shaders. Maybe we've given devs too much hardware.
It's important to notice that resolutions actually lowered when we moved to standards like HD and LCD screens, this is because CRT monitors had vastly superior tech compared to LCD's and only today are LCD monitors coming out that are comparable to the high end CRT monitors that were coming out in the early 2000's. You could (and still can) buy CRT monitors that go up to 2048x1536 and see GPU benchmarks from the early 2000's for higher than 1080p resolutions in games. LCD monitors resulted in a huge lack of advancement since we had to scrap all of the progress that was going on at the cutting edge of CRT technology, and only now is LCD a mature enough platform to have screens that have superior specs than CRT's from over 10 years ago. Sometimes I wonder what CRT's would be like if we kept advancing them...
The color and whitish-ghostly spectrum on LCD still sucks.
My ideal monitor would be electrowetting-epaper. It was being developed by Liquavista back in the day, but they got bought by Samsung and haven't done shit.
Meant for
