8K resolution is 7680 x 4320 pixels which is four times of the resolution of 4K at 3840 x 2160 pixels. 4K itself is four times the resolution of high definition 1080p. It makes 8K sixteen times of the resolution of a 1080p image. In 8k High resolution images are sharper, clearer, and show finer detail than that of lower resolutions.
Can the human eye see the difference between 4K and 8K?
The difference between 4k and 8k resolutions depends on the viewing environment. 8K technically has four times the amount of detail but one would need a large screen to tell any difference and even then it would be a minor difference as perceived by the human eye.
How viewing distance impacts the perception of resolution?
The optimal viewing distance of a 75 inch 8K screen is over two feet away. On the other hand, the optimal viewing distance for the same size television with 4K reslotuin is five feet. If a person sits back any farther than five feet both the images 4k and 8k will look the same to human eye as one cannot perceptibly tell a difference.
What does it really mean for gaming experience in Playstation 5?
As far as resolution is concerned, 8K means the gamers will get more detailed textures across the game, be it environmental shots or character models. But will a gamer will be not able to spot a huge difference when compared to gaming in 4K. Only the install size of the games will be larger as compared to 4k gaming.
