My new years resolution is 1440p
Alex Cheung noice
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Good one!
U r so damn underrated!
Mine is only 720p
What is it now
"it's so Big, and you are so Close to it..."

( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
Its so fat, long and beefy and you want it so much that you can't control yourself
xD
To be fair, they didn't say "Just a number", they said "It's a number."
Same meaning.
ali abdallah Diction is important here. The first part, "Just a number", is explicitly exclusive meaning it (resolution) can only be interpreted as a number, while the second part "It's a number" does not necessarily imply that it can only be a number but that it may also be interpreted as other things as well. So to be more accurate, no it does not hold the same meaning.
Gintoki Sakata thanks for that
Gintoki Sakata actually if you actually read the paragraph, in the context they used it in it DOES have the same meaning.
WHEN will people learn that the words people use are only 10% of the information and 90% of the information in what people say is in the way they combine those words ie the context???
megaspeed2v2 EXACTLY. This is a textbook case of every argument on the internet.
But linus, the human eye can't see past 24 fps anyway, so wouldn't it make more sense to reduce the frame rate to allow for larger resolutions?
lol :D jk
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-You're once again one of these stupid fucks who can't understand what they read.-
-So: We can see past 24 FPS. We can see, how much fluid movement can be with more FPS on Screen. There must be a limit somewhere, but its not really measured by FPS, biologically speaking.-
-The special thing about 24 FPS is, that from there we see movements STARTING TO BE FLUID instead of having a diashow of pictures, when you go below 24 FPS. And it's only being used for filmmaking too.-
-Also: There is a huge difference between filmmaking and games (With filmmaking, through the motion blur we see 24FPS being fluid, it has to do with the actual technic from cameras. While motion blur for games is just a cheap effect that does provide as good as nothing). Linus explained it here very well. Check out the TechQuickie channel, it's one of his newest videos "refresh rates explained".-
-So you can turn from being a stupid fuck to somewhat more intelligent human.-
-PEACE!-
*I just... fell into your trap. OMG. I'm rather stupid. **-.-*
*"lol :D jk" ... Some small little characters under a text can change everything. Lol.*
Luniii737 haha lol how long did it take you to right that? :D
So you didn't go to see The Hobbit in HFR(I think that's how it's called) in the Cinema. :P
PompiTube well no i didn't....but read the last two letters :D
Even though I know exactly what resolution is I still found this video very informative
"F***ing Blue Shells!!"....holding a PS3 controller..
>not playing the original Mario kart on a PC using a emulator and a ps3 controller.
***** ssshhh keep your voice down. You don't want them finding out about this.
***** >using greentext on youtube
***** touché

Here are a couple suggestions for episodes! Thank you so much:
- Cabling - ports, active cabling, proprietary solutions, and theoretical speeds vs. real speeds
- Audio fidelity - DACs, whatever else really matters
- Gamma, Hue, Color, and Contrast (to finish off Resolution and Bit Rate)
Lol, love the TotalBiscuit pop-in.

Please do a fast as possible on the various types of video outputs. VGA, HDMI, the various types of DVI,and the last one which isn't an acronym. Tell us the pros and cons of each and how they differ from one another.
Would be interesting for some, but here is the short version:
Displayport>HDMI>DVI>VGA
This is mostly based on their bandwidth, and therefore their capable resolution and refresh rate
Christoffer Nørskov surely dvi is better than hdmi as hdmi can only (atm) produce 4k at 30fps whereas dvi at 4k is 60?
Alex Sweet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi
WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 33 Hz
HDMI also has audio and CEC
Just adding info: VGA is analog while HDMI and DVI are digital. Meaning, any VGA to HDMI or to DVI adapters are useless because of that difference.
Th3Fizzle Unless you get an active adapter. DVI also has an analog option, that's why you can find both HDMI-DVI converters and DVI-VGA converters (the two don't work with each others). DVI has both digital and analog lanes
Personally i think they should lower the resolution to 720p so they may get some more decent FPS, seriously 30fps is bad from a PC point of view.
720p is awful, 30 fps is awful, if you want to eliminate them both, you have to make the graphics awful. There is no way to win when the consoles are so slow
i really don't understand why console games don't have an options menu for me to choose if i want high resolution or high fps
imo 720p 60fps is better than 1080p 30fps.
Th3Fizzle and i wouldn't want either, if i cant have it at 1080p and 60+ fps, i turn down the graphics a bit (or buy a new card) because anything under just lessens the experience too much
um, no. at 720p I can't see what's coming towards me and that of course is a huge impact. I'd rather lower quality and keep the resolution higher, while still remaining decent fps.
I wish developers would give us a choice between say 720P 60FPS & 1080P 30FPS. I would really love that.
That's merely a "lesser of two evils" choice.
Why would devs give a shit about you? Also why should you give a shit about them?
Play on pc and you will have graphics settings
SeriousPain yor kiddin right? All my games hit over 100fps. Even when console ported game has fps locked at 30 I go into the game file settings and turn smoothing factor to false and boom fps unlocked. Mobile games? What mobile games. No such thing. Yes I can play angry birds is 1080p no prob.
ali abdallah Because we are the end users and it is for us they develop their games. I give a shit because I buy and play their games. Your point makes no sense.
"Resolution is just a number" T-Shirt must happen! Please Linus, please. Also that TotalBiscuit pop up make me laugh for a very long time :D
2:33 TotalBiscuit cameo.
Linus, you've got a passion for doing this, and it shows in your videos. keep it up.
I wonder why 1080p isn't known as 2K and the 2K we know is 2.5K or 1440p.
i wish 4k was known as 2160p lol
Maybe cause of marketing reasons.
2k resolution is more of a film production term. It comes from scanning 35mm film, which yields a resolution of 2048x1556.
This image is then either cropped or compressed down to a widescreen 16x9 or wider format for broadcast. In broadcast the standard is 16x9: 1080p or 720p.
1080p = full hd, 1440p = 2x full hd, 2160p = 4x full ha
4k has four times the pixels than 1080p. 2k has douple the pixels than 1080p.
so 1080p can't be 2k.
Thank you for doing this, not because I didn't know what resolution is, but because it made my day reading the title.
shutter stock seems like a complete rip-off and is way too over priced for what it actually does.Like it is only a huge data base of pictures and should be free like Google images or at least a lot cheaper .
I think you're misunderstanding what Shutterestock does. Those images can be used commercially without paying any royalties. That's the benefit.
I love Linus's subtleness when he was clearly pissed off about paying for it.
Scary Orange Royalty free images and yet still demands payment. Yeah, it's a ripoff.
***** it's a scam because there isn't another choice. like sure if you get royalty free images that would be nice. but that's not how business works.
***** What? Do you know what stock photography is? The photographers take general "stock photos" that can be used by a wide variety of businesses. The photographers are payed by Shutter Stock for their photos. Shutter Stock charges businesses a fee in order to use these photos in websites, advertisements, etc. Businesses can't just go on google images and take random photos for advertisements lol. Nobody is going to take royalty free photos for free, photography is very expensive and isn't as simple as it seems.
Totalbiscuit popping up made me burst out laughing.. well played.. you have earned yourself a subscribe
720p on consoles always seem to have a blur built in to make the jaggies go away. 1080p is much better if you want to avoid jaggies and not blur the image.
That blur is the result of a highly optimised low sample rate anti-alising filter. Possibly the equivilent of 2x MSAA/AMAA (Adaptive). Its still there at 1080p but you have literally increased the pixel sample density by a third so it looks much more seemless.
William Hendick The problem is that 1080p without aa still looks better than 720p with aa. Why they prefer to use their processing power on aa instead of pixel count is a mistery.
Cicciter If the game renders below 720p, you would prefer AA to the extra resolution.
Jake Surname no, aa is fake resolution. having the game at native (not upscaled) 1080p is always better.
I am a computer engineer, thankyou.
I remember Linus talking about this on the WAN show and I think that is where the shirt that says, "Resolution is just a number" originated from. I already knew about the topic in this video but nice job!
2:33 A wild TotalBiscuit appears. lol
i lost it when you make totalbiscuit poped up in the corner, i couldnt stop laughing
thats why i love you linus, or whoever edited this video lol
As you so wanted it, here is my pony comment, Sandvich is best pony.
Loved that TB sliding up @ 2:35
Price is just a number.
Nope price is a word
Bruce Wayne
nope, price is far more than just a word.
nother great video. I like the comedy you're adding in recently
Peasants, listen up.
Ok. I did not expect Twilight at the end. XD
Maybe the editor just did it for fun
Neon Blade I've noticed him talk about ponies and such in other videos too. Also, he has talk about it on the forum. I'm pretty confident he is a brony.
***** Hinting towards Lengends of Equestria!
I now love the editor of these videos for the TB pop in
ok then ... PONIES!!!!
Too good, very good articulation, short and sweet.
Resolutions aren't confined by the weakest link. If all the components don't match exactly, you get less than the weakest link. Projecting a 720p image onto a 1080p monitor is _worse_ than projecting an 720p image on a 720p monitor.
Linus already said basically the SAME thing as your second sentence with his explaination(s) @ 3:15 through 3:25.
There is no " getting LESS than the weakest link" . That's why it is CALLED the WEAKEST link. -_-.
Raymond Tyson
Nope. He didn't make the point I did and someone unfamiliar with the concept would definitely not guess it unless someone says it. Linus almost certainly knows what I'm talking about, but he never states it explicitly.
DarKMaTTeR *facepalm*. Kid. you don't have a clue what you're even talking about. Get off the net and stop wasting conversational space. You're talking YOURSELF in circles now. lol.
Raymond Tyson It's not my problem that you don't get it. Moving on indeed.
DarKMaTTeR I"m not your mirror either kid. It's not my problem you broke all of yours with your stupidity. I'm ignoring you now. Cry more. Flame on. Enjoy
Sneaky brit in the video :D
Also I didn't know the fifth wall could be broken, let alone even exist. Thanks for proving me wrong.
Shutterstock is useless . Google images
some pictures on google images are copyrighted.
I think there are options for filtering out copyrighted images.
+arkadiem No, they dont. They dont care what is what, you could be looking for "The Fourth Wall" and you can find ponies FCOL.
Having an IT background myself im able to explain in detail to what resolution does towards the user experiance etc. Yet.. im still learning more here, awsome vids!
2500$ A YEAR FOR PICTURES?!
NO FUCKING WAY.
it's always worth it to wait through the adds!
720p, 30 fps immersive cinematic experience
Ron Calara Most movies record at 24 frames per second (peasants) if that's what you're referring to.
Honestly, I'd prefer 30fps 1080p for cutscenes and cinematics. But for actual gameplay, anything higher than 50fps is recommended.
If you're saying to yourself... "Dude, it's high time I had quit BO and stop trading with the markets!" then listen to me. At one point, I would've said the exact same thing. Really. But then one day, a mentor who offered me a similar chance to the one I'm offering you today said to me... "Barry... Isn't that the reason you're here? To make a change in your life so that you CAN afford to do what you want to do?" - and in that moment, I knew I had to remain focus and make this work. So I did and today I finally have a dedicated style of trading, which has earned me so much profits I never would've imagined of. So I say to you... Isn't this the reason you're here? To make some REAL money? Well, you need a very small investment to make that change in your life.

+Assasinpiggles You shouldn't underestimate the movie producers. They have a higher budget than you can ever acquire in life. They can record 4k or even 8k if they wanted to, but there is no reason for that because the world still does not fully support such high resolution, so they stick to the standard worldwide 1080p for convenience. They record the movies at 60fps or even higher btw, its available on blu-ray, they just limit it at 30fps to give the movie a cinematic feel.
TrixD Ah, well most movies before real recently (even Hunger Games) were recorded in 24 FPS
That was some pretty awesome video editing lol I love the lower resolution examples!
2:30 Random Totalbiscuit LOL
Loved the TotalBisquit reference Linus, nice one :)
Money is just a number.
You are just a number.
2:33 A wild TB appears!
Attack -> Use "Adjustable FOV".
Attack super-effective.
LOL @ TOTAL BISCUIT POPPING UP. Where's the FOV slider?
Hey dude. Thanks for making this videos, they are realy helpfull. I allways learn something I didn't known before.
Now every console peasant is a resolution and fps expert lol "peasants can't monitor their frame rates or set their resolution." Now they know everything about it lol these comments make me lol
You are the reason why sometimes I hate being a PC gamer.
Come on now. Console mgamers aren't the enemy, console gaming is.
InsaneDweller Better don't look for morons in other parts of your existence, might eventually make you put an end to it, my dear.
Peter Lustig What are you talking about?
InsaneDweller this is the reason why i hate myself too lmfaooooooooooooooo
Loving the TB reference.
Talking about resolution and yet the video is only 720p :P
I have also seen a video with 1440p option available. But I don't know if that's still available. Did RUclips kill 1080p?
Anyway, for normal browsing, working or reading on the computer, higher resolution is really better, but on games, I've compared 768p and 1080p on my FHD laptop screen, and makes a little difference, and will make little difference on a TV as well. That said, I'd rather have 720p @60fps than 1080p @ 30fps. That's why we need graphics options on consoles! People are not dumb to switch it!
This video is 1080p.
On my 1440p monitor, 720p is unbearable. I think if you run the reselution at less than half of what your monitor supports, it becomes much worse. 720p wasn't so bad on my 768 x 1333 laptop.
laptop screen is too small to notice anything other than a small contrast improvement, on a big tv or monitor, you can definitively see the difference, also on pc you play shitdogs at 1080p @60fps on most configuration, while on ps4 is 900p@ 30fps ...to play at 60fps they should lower the gfx at ps3 level.
Their camera records in 4K, they just downsample it to 1080p and RUclips does the rest.
it has 1080p option for me
This guy just leaves me with more questions
LMFAO! @ 2:30
I didn't get it..
Malinda Alahakoon hes one of the few legitimate game reviewers on RUclips AND a massive resolution and graphics buff. Check out his channels TotalBuiscuit and CynicalBrit.
hilarious!
:D
Malinda Alahakoon Just don't get him started on FOV. He loooooves his FOV.
Mohd. Hakim Bin Abdul Rani What about console ported menus? HAHA! he eats that shit for breakfast!
Totalbiscuit rising up in the corner there. Beautiful.
5:05 brohoof /)
The way you used Totalbuscuit there made me laugh xD
Why don't you tell to your subscribers the display size standards for each resolution?!
You know that BIG resolutions are just marketing,right?!
Where the real standard is that 1080p is only for displays bigger than 50"
I don't need 1080p on my 19" display.
The qualitty of my 19" display at 1440x900 (native) is the same qualitty seen on your 24" - 27" 1080p (native) display.
But in the last 7 years "they" "changed" that rule so "they" can sell more stuff.
1080p on a mobile phone display..give me a break.
Not true, you can absolutely see the difference of a 1080p and 900p screen at normal monitor distances. Sure a lot is marketing but in the pc perspective resolution is not maxed out.
This is the modern age mate, things and times are changing. 1080p looks terrible on a 50" tv when you are close like super bad but from a good distance looks fine. Right now im using my 32" TV for a monitor for my pc and its native res is 1360 x 768, low reso but looks pretty good at the distance i am away from it and all games look and run sharp. You wouldnt want resolutions just not to get better would you? Big resolutions arent just marketing it has been used in photography for years even before 1080 and 4k resolutions were a reasonable priced option, For example a 8Mp camera commonly found on phones is double the resolution of 1080, and a 14 mp camera found on some photos are more than 4k. 1080p is the current standard for most things these days be it monitors, tvs, and even phones to an extent. The next viable standard within a few years will be 4k as the prices drop and hardware available to run 4k displays are cheaper. I dont know what i was trying to achieve when i made this comment, just remember we live in a ever evolving time were technology is growing by the day lol. Sorry for rambling on XD
That's a heap of bullshit in my opinion. How often do you turn on different AA settings in games because edges of objects with high contrast really are jagged. He explained this in the AA as fast as possible video. Also, you clearly didn't hear what he said about display size (DISTANCE matters a lot) a 1080p screen on a phone (5") is not overkill, since you are looking at it very closely. Such a high pixel density eliminated the need for any anti-aliasing to be done to make edges look smooth, since you cant perceive any pixels. On a 50" display you are sitting much farther away (normally) so 1080p would still fit well there. On a 24-30" screen you sit a little closer than a TV, so you need the extra density (and honestly, 1080p on a 24-30 inch is just nowhere near enough for a truly satisfying experience, so AA is still used at those resolutions).
Upping the resolutions has never been about selling more stuff, it's been about increasing the usability of the display. Even when 8k rolls around, there would still be tangible benefits to using that over 4k.
are you blind or do you need glasses or are you wearing glasses? if you want 1080P on a 19" monitor you can have it cause they make them. And yes, for us normal people with good eye site and as for me I can defiantly see the difference from a crappy res to a good one. Yeah 1080P is a bit ridiculous on a smart phone but for any monitor over 17" should be at least 1080P or 1080 144HZ.
Eric Marcus I would argue that 1080p is fine for a 5" smartphone. I have tried everything from 1080p, 720p, 480p and below, and i must say, every step up does make a tangible difference. You plain and simply don't get the same smoothness of edges (especially text) on a 720p phone as you do on a 1080p phone. I might argue that 1440p on a phone might be ridiculous, but i haven't tried it, so i wouldn't know
Keep this up linus ! love these vids !
Lol sadly i'm watching this on 144p :-( (Thank you Crappy South African Internet ISP)
Say "HEY" to P. W. for me, ok?
P.W?
P. W. Botha! ugh
uhm ok
I feel you. Canada doesn't have the best internet in most places and if we do it can be pricey with bandwidth caps depending on the ISP
Resolution is just a number... Ubisoft is a SMARTASS company! I would have never thought of that!
sorry, i think you say 200$ a month? that's crazy
love techquickie. so much knooooowledge!
ye
WHOS WATCHING IN 2032
+Skysper 2033 Here! (spoiler, trump becomes the next hitler)
+FalconPlaysMinecraft aaaaaiht
I'm in 2050 watching this in over 9000k
+Sean .Lyons iPhones in 2050 will still have QHD screens
I've watched this video 4 times... Never finished it to see that in the corner... Not even going to question it :)
Awesome! I've always found resolutions a bit, confusing. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Oh, and... PONIES! :D
A pony is a small horse (Equus ferus caballus). Depending on context, a pony may be a horse that is under an approximate or exact height at the withers, or a small horse with a specific conformation and temperament. There are many different breeds. Compared to other horses, ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as proportionally shorter legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, thicker necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads. The word "pony" derives from the old French poulenet, meaning foal, a young, immature horse, but this is not the modern meaning; unlike a horse foal, a pony remains small when fully grown. However, on occasion, people who are unfamiliar with horses may confuse an adult pony with a foal.
The ancestors of most modern ponies developed small stature due to living on the margins of livable horse habitat. These smaller animals were domesticated and bred for various purposes all over the northern hemisphere. Ponies were historically used for driving and freight transport, as children's mounts, for recreational riding, and later as competitors and performers in their own right. During the Industrial Revolution, particularly in Great Britain, a significant number were used as pit ponies, hauling loads of coal in the mines.
Love the Totalbiscuit 'cameo' :P
Thanks, Linus, For another Great Video
That last sentence sums up my attitude of youtube. Props to Linus guys.
respect that someone on the editing side put in a proper MLP sound effect
also linus your hair is kinda cool :)
5:05 Twilight Sparkle making a small cameo at the end?
Intriguing...
Loved the TotalBiscuit reference :D
Welcome to 2023 where resolution is just a number... accompanied with random upscaling setting preset
god, that totalbicuit cameo killed me
Based Linus. Who I always think reminds me of Link from the Zelda games whenever I see that little earring.
Ponies. That is all.
Oh, and great job on the video, as always!
Hahaha thanks for the video and for responding to my request about the t-shirt (y)
loved the surprise Total Biscuit haha
Nice answer sir
Do one on IGZO! But yeah, I do love some high resolutions. So easy to tell 1080p and 1440p even from standard monitor distance.
You always sneak the sponsor in so smoothly
Haven't seen it but it is already my favorite...!
I think it is just that with the new consoles people were expecting 1080p because people now have HD TV's and we wanted consoles outputting native to these devices.
Plus all the +1s for Strong Bad reference.
"The pixels are as big as hams!"
linus youre the best teacher in the world!
Games need much higher resolutions than movies because of aliasing. That's what supersampling or downsampling does. Rendering a game in a higher resolution to downscale the result to the output resolution for reducing aliasing artifacts.
Totalbiscuit is lurking somewhere in this video.
the totalbiscuit pop in. This is the reason I liked the video.
When it comes to TV across the room, if you need glasses, 1080p is probably the max you need to go. My problem is when size is quoted without resolution - for so long there were 12" through to 15" screens that were all 1024*768 (Why waste my money on the larger screen that doesn't have any more pixels?). I'm on a real 2k monitor right now, using a native font way small. The digit "1" is 7 pixels high and 3 pixels wide. I use this micro-font because I need maximum screen estate to show as much information as possible (and that's across 6 monitors! If you need glasses for upclose, don't bother trying to use my computer.
i really like how linus just smack talks his sponsors flaws. and im suprised he can get away with it too...hue
or is this thinking i have wrong?
If we let this "resolution is just a number" thing slide, then we're looking at shit like "graphics is just a word" or "gameplay is just a word" or god forbid "price is just a number".
The last one was already used at the PS3 launch.
You should talk about the "Soap Opera" effect on your next video. I actually like the effect tbh but, I would to have it explained and would like unbiased opinions on it.
"Resolution is just a Number!" Best statement ever :D
Just for clearance, this video is about "image resolution" Then there's display resolution, that is just the number we're all familiar with.
If I were a video maker, I would get Shutterstock, and use your code.
It's lucky that the show is called Tech Quickie. A crossover with Total Biscuit would made it hours long especially if you guys add FOV into the discussion.
With games, I would say resolution is more important as the content has more contrasting colours and sharper edges. That's also why game footage looks terrible on RUclips where chroma subsampling is used. With movies and photos on the other hand, the content tends to be "smoother". There's less energy in the higher frequencies, so pixel resolution is less influential.
Linus will never let the "just a number" thing die
Other's New Year's Resolution: "Be better."
My New Year's Resolution: 640x480
Well, for myself and my CRT, resolution is a function of 3 numbers - Pixel Clock, HSync, and VSync. My only restrictions are that HSync must be lower than 95khz, and VSync must be between 50-120hz. Within that span, my monitor can display ANY resolution I could possibly want(though in practice my GPU cannot produce some of the more insane resolutions, and the monitor would flicker like a dying flourescent lamp at particularly insane resolutions above 2048*1536), and produce them all with the same clarity.
You should make a Techquickie about Die shrink, why its happening and why you should care.
The whole "14nm process this, or XXnm process that" is confusing to a lot of people!
PC monitor is 24 inch wide at 2 feet away. TV is 42 inch wide at 6 feet away. 720p vs 1080p does make a difference if youre at a respectable distance.
Allright, I LOVE my display resolution! :)
