Breaking Bad Arrives on Netflix in 4k Resolution

[Strazdas]

yes, humans rye sight resolution is finite. 4k does not come close to that resolution though. Its 8k while in motion, over 40k while static images.

Even if it's true that 8k is the resolution of the human eyes (something you need a source to proce), that is for the entire sight picture. A normal tv only takes up a fraction of everything you are watching, which is kind of my point. That under normal circumstances, with a normal sized tv (40-60") 4k is pointless.

this is true, however its worth noting that 4k is only 1/4th of 8k, so a TV that takes up 25% of your sight area would fully benefit from the resolution.
i dont know what distance you need to be from your TV that a 60" TV would take less than 25%. do you own a private movie theater or something? and here i sit typing at 27" monitor with ~1 meter distance from the screen and it takes around 75% of my visual spectrum. if it was 60" distance could more thna double to sustain same spectrum.

Funny coincidence: I just got back to Netflix, and WOW, the service is bad, at least at night. They must have anemic servers because even on standard definition, they can't even reliably load a movie. How is anyone going to be able to watch this if the service can't even handle HD?

It must have to do with your ISP because no matter what time I watch it, day or night, my video is always in HD. I've never had a problem with quality.
