Quote:I just got myself a 32" 4K monitor - that is 8mp - and its awesome sharp at standard viewing distances.

That is my personal use case for private photos. 

 

Dell just released an 8K monitor (5000US$) - surely impressive but can you really spot the difference between 4K and 8K at normal distances ?

 

The print use case is viable, of course, but how often are you really printing THAT big to see a difference between MFT and FF.

Much of the dynamic range differences is also eaten by the printer.
And by the monitor Smile.

 

Prints only have a DR of 5 or 6 stops max, depending on the paper used.

 

In principle this means we're back to some form of the Zone System, for optimal results, but then, that is what I have been doing for my personal photography as long as I can remember anyway Smile.

 

BTW, I have a 28" 4K monitor, but it is no good for normal use to me - I use 2 monitors, which means that icons etc. just get too small on the 4K one. Need to get another I guess; currently back to 2 X 24" Smile.

 

I think you can spot the difference, basically because of smoother transitions, if indeed your images are of the correct solution. It really is teh same with a 5Ds or 5DsR vs a 5D Mk III - the transitions in the images are just a lot better.

But you have to enlarge fairly high in order to see that Smile.
