UltraHD [4320p]

UltraHD
aka
4320p – Ultra High Definition Television – UHDTV – Ultra HDTV – Ultra High Definition Video – UHDV

Number of pixels: 7,680 × 4,320
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Frame rate: 120Hz progressive
Bit depth: 12

I’m all for new visual technology standards, however, more resolution doesn’t always mean better. It’s similar to megapixels on cameras where 12 megapixels can easily look better than 20 megapixels due to pixel size, quality, etc. Also, too many pixels to display information can be bad depending on your viewing distance and in-turn pixel density. Let’s say you have a checkered board with alternating white and black pixels. The more pixels you start cramming in this pattern, the more you start to see gray. Now, I understand that this is just a standard so you can say all the same things about 1080p HD too. Not all 1080p HD is the same.

Also, 120hz progressive can be unnatural to the eye. I’m okay with the 16:9 ratio staying standard too. More and more movies get made in this non-filmic ratio. The number of non-16:9 doesn’t appear to be affected. I hope they work these things out in the next few years. And yeah, 4320p sounds funny. No ring to that! 6 syllables vs 4 currently.

Winter’s Bone [Film]

Garbage. I made it 35 minutes in but I had to turn this off. How could anyone watch over an hour of Jennifer Lawrence going to find her murdered father to “obtain” proof of his death? Not my taste as far as cinematography goes either. And I don’t get this whole J-Lawr thing.
