Please, please show me examples of 5k being run of the mill. That claim needs evidence.



Sorry you're right. 4K Is run of the mill now. 5K is not quite. But the point still stands, technology improves. It only needs to improve to a certain level before it goes beyond human perception. That will happen in a few years.

Any efforts trying to adapt to the limitations of current technology are wasted.

Here's a 4K display from Phillips for $235 https://www.amazon.com/Philips-276E8VJSB-3840x2160-UltraNarr...

Edit: and a DPI calculator and reference. Notice all the old low-res displays and how most of them are behind us. https://www.sven.de/dpi/


These stats suggest 4K isn't particularly prevalent:

Infact, it seems to suggest that even 1366x768 comprises the majority.

So, can you quantify 'a few years'?
