[2] 4k: Can screens EVER standardize on fucking ANYTHING anymore?!?
Pick a fucking notation for describing resolutions and STICK WITH
IT!!! It's like the freaking "Lenny"/"Mountain Lion"/"Ice Cream
Sandwich" bullshit here. I don't *want* to know the correct ordering
of snacks/cats/toy story characters, and I'm *certainly* not going to
memorize which idiotic (and completely unnecessary) name refers to
WHAT freaking version. Idiotic unnecessary indirection.
"Woody/Sarge???" WTF? "SD/1080p/4k???" WTF? Enough redundant naming
conventions already.
You think this is bad? Just wait until 4K really gets going in the
mainstream and every manufacturer under the sun comes up with their own
unique term to differentiate themselves. It'll be 2008 all over again.
2008? That stuff's been going on *much* longer than that ;)
