Isn’t a full HD resolution ( 1920 x 1080 ) almost four times less pixels than 4K ( 3840 x 2160 )? I think I understand that a higher bit depth gives me more information per pixel, resulting in for instance less banding, but I still expected my 1080p 10-bit video files to look very soft and literally low-res.

    So the very basic is that 1080p is a great resolution no matter how much they want to force everyone in thinking 4k should be the minimum to sell more hardware.

      Thanks! I’m starting to realize that too, since yesterday, when I played a 1080p Blu-ray remux of Breaking Bad on the same 42 inch 4K monitor, it looked amazing. I can’t even imagine what on earth 4K would’ve contributed with…
