Finally someone to support PPI over resolution, I'm so happy!!
There's no reason to say that PPI or resolution are better or worse than one another. It depends on the use. According to the retina calculator, I have to sit 94cm from my 1080p display to achieve retina. If I had a 4K monitor with the same PPI, I'd have to sit the same distance from the screen to achieve retina, but the picture would be much larger. If I had a 4K monitor of the same size, retina would be achieved much closer to the screen, but increasing my distance from the screen would have exponentially greater diminishing returns to my eyes. So, in my case, I like to relax in my chair with a controller and I usually sit about that distance anyway. With a 4K monitor with the same PPI, I'd get a much better gaming experience at that distance because of the larger screen. However, at that distance, a 4K monitor of the same size would yield no benefit to me. It depends on the use. If you sit close, maybe higher PPI is better. If you sit further back, higher PPI won't be as important as overall resolution and screen in most cases.
That's what...
Given a specific Pixel density one can freely talk about screen sizes
If you are talking about monitors (say), you can first decide the density you want, and then look at the screen sizes, rather than looking at the resolution and judging the display quality. Just because 720p is outdated doesn't mean a display with 720p res is bad, it might look better than 1080p, provided the screen isn't too big
Viewing distance is another thing (of course it matters)
***** That's just not correct. For example, a 1080p monitor at 24" and a 1440p monitor at 32" will have the exact same PPI. Increasing the resolution does not necessarily affect PPI.
In short, a screen with high PPI is always good and with some experience one can understand how sharp the display would be, but given resolution alone its not possible to know the sharpness of the display
Large screens are not good. So stop wasting your money on all those 80"+ TVs or projectors.
Everything is right, except the fact the gaming in higher resolutions will actually result in higher quality overall, like less aliasing and more detailed textures. I'm talking about rendering detail, not only pixel density.
Even using the same 1080p monitor, rendering a game at 4k resolution scaled down to 1080p (I dont have 4k monitor) will look much more detailed. It's not all about pixel density and sitting distance ratio.
But that depends on the game too (though even old games like Titan Quest look significantly better on 4k downscaled to 1080p than just 1080p).
you are killing it with these subjects man, keep it up
I really like the way you explain things. Much more satisfactory than many other youtubers that I have seen. Subscribed!
It's growing so fast I love this channel it keeps getting better be ready for this to be ur full time job in the near future
Man, you always have something relevant or interesting to upload. Your work is much appreciated!!!
It's good to see this channel growing. Awesome video man.
I'm very glad I've come across your videos. I'm currently looking for a new monitor since my old one died and this was very informative, your other videos too, so keep up the good work!!!
I have been watching some of your videos, and I find them really i referring and helpful! You've earned another subscriber, keep up the fantastic effort! :D
I just started watching your videos and they're amazing. Super surprised you don't have more subs! Loving the content! Thank you for creating it for all of us to watch!
+The Phazed Glad you've enjoyed them!
Wow. I just discovered your channel and It might be one of my favorite tech type channels. Straight to the point and very informative. Got my sub.
This channel is one of the most unique in delivering tech-related videos. Good job!
You've got a good channel man keep up the good work and you'll get the subs in time
Nice video :) I like the computer-centric science focus your channel has. Looking forward to seeing more!
A few days ago I came across one of your videos by pure coincidence and now i've been all afternoon long watching the rest of them. I consider myself a person who has certain knowledge about the topics your channel is based on but the way you explain those topics makes it so simple to understand that it feels as though i was learning all these things again. I seriously hope you continue making these videos because i really want to watch them!
PS: i don't usually write this kind of comments but since you are starting on TH-cam, i thought that maybe it would make you feel great to see that people really get and enjoy the content you create for them.
PSS: "Thanks for learning with us"? Awesome punchline man.
(Sorry if my English is not 10/10, i'm from Argentina :D)
+Juan Marrapodi I greatly appreciate your words of encouragement! As long as these videos are helping those of you who are curious about these topics, I will continue to produce them. Greetings from up north!
Great and informative video. Didn't think I would leave the video with something new learned, but I did. Thanks!
Really enjoyed the bit where Steve Jobs explains how the Retina display and pixel density works. Interdasting!
Great video man, really a good work
Great job with the channel. Keep it up!!
very informative video. thanks and keep up the good work.
You are getting a lot better with your videos, keep it going :)
Thank you for this video. This channel is going to be huge.
I've been trying to figure this topic out for a while. This video definitely helped in picking a resolution for my gaming.
Wow and again a video from which I learned really lot. Keep up the good Job man :)
This is an awesome video!! Thanks for the information!
Very interesting, and you placed your cards very well. As for now, I'm loving your channel. Subscribed.
I play csgo so i sit .000001 cms from my screen
i play csgo .00000001 nanometers from the screen
you need 64K resolution, you'll get it in 50 years
5*
ruiqi your not alone
Do you don’t have a nose?
This is one of your best videos, very interesting info, thanks for sharing this info, great channel +Salazar Studio
I really like your content and i now am starting to look forward to more of your videos.
Very Good Video, Informative & Knowledgeable.
Well Done
Like your channel!!!! Keep it coming!
Gold mine of information. Glad i found this channel.
+WeedFarmer Glad you're enjoying the content!
Awesome video!! Thanks a ton! Really needed this info!
Great video as usual, thank you so much !
you have the best tech youtube channel at the moment brother! Keep this up ☺
Very well explained. Thanks !!
Love these types of videos.
Very cool stuff Im starting to love this channel keep it up man you are making us more aware :)
i hope you read this. i am a new subscriber to your channel and have found that i like your videos a lot for you in depth real world reviews. what is funny is the last part of the video where you were talking about the 20/40 eye site. i just had PRK done and i am seeing about 20/40 right now and i was saying to my self man i cant tell a difference at all between the videos... ill have to rewatch this in a few months.
I knew most of this information as I have been researching monitors to buy and this video still blows my mind!
Another awesome video! My 900p laptop approves. On that note, what would you think of having a video on LCD types? or did you already have this? there are dozens of types of IPS, and there are some TN panels with better colors and contrast. So maybe an explanation to the madness would be nice!
Wonderful video dude! Once again that's exactly what I was doing in Best Buy and etc. Perfect video! 😉
It's very noticeable when I turn my games to 1080p on my 28 inch 4K Asus monitor. I play fairly close to the screen usually about a foot to a foot and a half. I also really notice the difference in quality in your GTAV clips side by side when watching your video in 1 quarter of my screen (for 1 to 1 pixel ratio at 157 pixels per inch) The best thing about 4k though is actually for reading. the text is so crisp that it's like reading it in a book.
this just blew my mind. did not know this at all .very informative
dude Your awsome i love Your videos. they are so well Made
again another quality video, keep it up!
Nice review & details 👍
Great video Greg! Very informative
+Nova Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. This information will help me when I purchase my next monitor.
Loving the music choice, hope channel explodes in subs one day!
Honestly your vids are really good im surprised you dont have more subs and stuffeses.
Great videos! Keep up the good work ;)
Really wanted to learn this thanks!
Keep it on its really helpful
I was on your channel and was watching your videos and I was so tired that I fell asleep; woke up next day on this video; very informative :P
+AR Thanks for watching (I think?)
One little thing you forgot to mention is the fact higher resolution do improve picture quality in distant and fine details, even if the shape is not clearly distinguishable. In the lower-res case you are limited by the sampling algorithm(s) to determine the final color, where in higher-res case it is the eye that does the sampling, much like in it would in the real world (no matter good or bad eyesight). Higher-res image will always be more correct with much less rendering artifacts.
Very professional, I can honestly see you guys hitting over 100k subs in less than a year from now
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome video. You pack A LOT of good information succinctly in a short amount of time - which indicates a lot of time-consuming prep work and pre- and post-production work went into this. Great info on limits of human perception and how they relate to benefits (or not) of device displays. Better than watching an episode of "Brain Games" :-)
Great video, as usual. Do you have an extra word on the Phanteks Eclipse P400? I'm thinking about buying the S version in white.
Nice part explaining whilst using GTAV ! Great job.
Hey, I noticed your Ragin Cajun sticker in your video. I am from Louisiana and also have family in Lafayette. Man I cant wait to go back and get myself an Olde Tyme Grocery shrimp poboy.
Love your vids keep it up.
Your videos are awesome!!
This video was great man!
+Avvoider Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really great!! 🙌 🙌 🙏
This video made me subscribe, althought i knew half of the answers you gave :), thank you for great video :).
Thank you for the video, hopefully your information is correct ;). If i buy a new monitor i will definitly take a closer look at my environment. How far do i sit away from the screen, my eyesight (i now know what the meaning of the numbers is next to the seeing test) and which resolution is comfortable, to hopefully save money.
Please include the source of the charts you're using in the video-description. I think that you can run the "resolutuion-test" (4:28) on a FullHD Monitor, say it next time, not everybody got a 4K monitor. ;)
I also would recommend that you include the source of the charts you're using in the video-description.
Anyways, i enjoy watching these kind of videos and i really like the balance between your voice and the music (music not too loud, your voice not too quiet)
Keep going ;)
Is it just me or this channel is growing DRAMATICLY! It was a couple of weeks ago tat you had just 2k subs and some months ago you ad less ten 1k
I'm here since your 2k, and you are doing really good
Continue like this you will beat Austin Evans
You're welcome
Once again, you did a great job making a complex subject, clear. Also, you might like connecting with Gamer Nexus. It could be something wonderful.
just learned something new today 👍😋 thanks!!!!!!
This is really helpful ty
great video Greg 👍
Sweet so ill just game on a 19 inch crt thats 10 feet away from me?
got it
very interesting topics I'm starting to like your channel more and more
Hello, I am new to your channel and I find your info is good and easily to be digested :)
My future monitor (awaiting shipping) is at 1920x1080, 21" (around 110 ppi based on the ppi calculator from your link) and my gaming distance from the monitor is around 23 inches only.
From what I understand in your video, the real benefit of 1080p is not about gaming from a further distance? Then what is the benefit of larger resolutions(say switching from 720p to 1080p)? PPI increase?
Truly a great video!
wtf ur nearly at 25k subs?? lol here since day 1 boi, good vids man
+Gru I appreciate your devotion!
+Science Studio ;)
I love your videos always entertaining to watch, my favorite is 600 dollar build and your custom paint on hardware. Any chance you can make a video of how to change or a custom video of how change psu sleeve or paint them to match computer color scheme?
Very informative sir! I personally have bad eyesight so I get close to the screen a lot for my digital arts. So this only helps me want a 1440p monitor for work and gaming even more.
4:3 1024x768 or 800x600 if you ask me, but im damaged from too much counter-strike. Also play cod/half-life/portal in that resolution because im so used to low res.
Love your videos btw, great production value.
Steve Jobs sounds like Linus from LinusTechTips
Ikr
You say he is not?
Hang on... I was here like the other day and you only had like 15,000 subs and now your at 24,969. I am so glad your channel is getting so much attention, you definitely deserve it! I hope maybe one day my channel could get as mush exposure as yours but I doubt it will happen.
Keep up the amazing work as always!
i subscribed when this was at 5k subs , now almost 30k?? wtf lol GREAT QUALITY videos...
unique video. nice one man.
This is insanely helpful.
I gave you a thumbs up even though you missed a very important consideration: screen real estate. Even if two screens are 'retina' from the viewing distance they will be used at, the higher resolution screen will have more screen real estate, which makes multitasking _much_ easier.
That's a separate topic... This video was about ideal viewing distance, not "screen real estate."
very informative :D always wondered if pixel density and viewing distance trumped higher resolutions.
when you own a 970 and you watch the 1070 benchmarks on Linus channel. #RIPME
The 970 is and will continue to be a great price to performance card, and will even drop price when the 1070 launches.
It's all good bro. I have a 970 as well. If you game at 1080p we are still fine. However, seeing the 1070 results do make you wish you could just switch your card for a 1070.
Yes, but you've had that 970 and enjoyed it for quite some time now. Nobody can say that about a 1070.
Plamen Yordanov True
Re-sell price will drop dramaticly.
I do love this channel too much
While I'm watching this on a 1366x768 screen
me 2 lol
same
same here.
Im watching on 1920x1080p monitor but my internet sucks so I have to watch YT at 720p >.
+Arek R. its my dream to watch vídeos at 720p, i can only watch at 240p
Man your channel is on the verge of blowing up! Remember me when your famous lol.
Tweet me @ScStSalazar with this screenshot when we hit 50K subs and I'll send you a free Sc.St. t-shirt!
No way thanks dude!!
Btw do you recommend win10 over 7?
Took some time to get used to Win 10 but i like it better than 7
@@GregSalazar How the time flies huh?
What is your background music name?
Great video btw
wow very informative video, keep it up :)
FIrst time I got the idea of having good eye could be expensive. :D
Thank you for this video
3:19 that art looks awesome!
I personally like the idea of getting the best monitor or tv you can afford. I think it is worth the money to cover your bases and maybe help with a little future proofing.
really informative..
You forgot to say "if you hate everything about life"
Old video.
Totally random off topic question..
I purchase some "high quality" thermal pads... 17 kw and 11 kw... They cost a alot for little pieces of silicon..The 17kw means it has a higher themal Conductivity... And 11 is lower... Although I'm sure u know this
I was plan on replacing the themal pad on Both my GPU VRM and MY mother Board VRM... I don't have enough of the 17 kw to go on both so my plan is put the pad on the one that will benefit the most from lower temperature... The GPU is a water cooled r9 290 and the mother board is Gigabyte Ud3 990fx Rev 4.0.
Anyways the question is which on of these VRM generate More heat CPU or GPU VRM... Which would benefit more from lower temps.
