Netflix Originals: Production and Post-Production Requirements v2.1
To paraphrase Bill Gates (who never actually said the original, but anyway) 4K should be enough for everybody.<p>Having seen 1080p stretch and play nicely on a 30 feet cinema screen, and not being much worse looking from regular Hollywood titles even for front seat viewing, I don't see the allure of 8K even for "future-proofing".<p>Sure, monitors and tvs might improve their resolution in the future. But I don't se human eyes improving much (regarding angular resolution vs distance) or houses getting any bigger to fit a 30ft tv.<p>4K is good for reframing (cropping) and higher detail, but after some point enough is enough.
