8k displays are now close to life-like reality

I now have a computer that is pretty much capable of displaying and producing 8k content. That is 33million pixels or four times what is commonly in your top end smartphone or high end monitors and Tvs. 4k resolution is only 8.3 million pixels. This approaches photo-realism in that your brain can find it hard not to see that it is not real. Since our brains only see reality in high resolution in a small section of our view in our fovea, the rest of what we see is MADE UP by our brains. 50% of what you see might not be real. This is why eye-witnesses at important events are sometimes not lying when they see different things, and it is how a lot of magic tricks work as they fool your brain into not seeing something or seeing something that does not exist. This adds to the Roshomon effect. In the future, if you cannot afford a view of Hong Kong harbour you could probably just stick a 120 inch 8k display on the wall and you would be unable to tell the diference between it and the real thing until you got to less than a metre from it. I have also ordered a 4k VR headset. Looking forward to 16k and 32k VR in the future, which will mean it will look almost indistinguishable from reality.
