I can definitely see the difference between a 1440p 27 inch display vs a 5k 27 inch display, add in high refresh rate and HDR and you already are close to exceeding the DP 2.0 maximum bandwidth (without display stream compression). I wish we could finally get decent high DPI monitors on desktops that aren't made by or for apple Macs

Though that's not where you would use HDMI. I would argue for TV:s, 4k is generally enough, and HDMI 2.1 already has enough bandwidth for 4k 120 Hz 12 bit-per-color uncompressed.

But DisplayPort, yeah, that could use a bit more.

I don't believe in anything over 1080p. Waste of bandwidth.

The point is definition doesn't matter, it's the viewing distance + pixel density that matters. This is what apple calls retina: when we stop seeing the individual pixels (jagged edges) at a normal viewing distance. This means that a phone will need a much higher pixel density than a desktop or tv. But the low-dpi displays we still have are unacceptable in 2024 the icons and text look so ugly...

The thing is, I prefer actually owning my media, I don't use steaming services for the most part. But even with my 40 TB of media storage, I just don't have the space for 5k content. If it's worthwhile, it gets 1080, if it matters less (kid shows or anything that came from a dvd), it gets 720 at best.

1080p gang 🤙

Higher resolution costs more money and requires better hardware to drive it (more money). Overpowering a lower resolution only means your hardware is relevant for longer.
It's just tech creep.
