    Fun fact; Here in Brazil, the cheaper tv models being sold are 720p, and a lot of people buy them and don’t even know what video resolution is, neither they feel like missing something lol

      In any developing country with low incomes but heavy social media presence and smartphone usage, most people care more about the content and how much they’re actually getting entertained than bothering about quality and size.

      Yeah, and the television is far better there than it is here in America! For instance, you have live action shows based on timeless children’s novels instead of the same things rehashed time and again, like here in America! :-(

        Is an adaptation of a timeless children’s novel not something that has been rehashed time and again?

      I have 2 4K tvs, one used as a monitor. I’m now rewatching some 70’s - 80’s shows. When the intro starts, I’m acutely aware of the low res, but as soon as the show starts, I get into the content, and I really don’t notice the resolution.

      If you focus on the resolution instead of the content, maybe the content is not that engaging.
