    1080 progressive is fine for personal presentations. (more than enough to illustrate concepts and quality.)

    Our studio switched us to 4k mid-last year and they are in the process of switching us to an 8k native environment. This is mind boggling to me, especially since everything is in gigantic proportions (resolutions, file size even the cache swaps are in the tens of gigs range). i do have to admit, that going back to my old 1080p files and laughably 720, Lots of detail is lost. I now find it funny we even call that HD.

    Now, 2k isn't as noticeable going from 1080p. But once you move to 4k, it's a totally new world and you then realize what High Definition means. I guess it's one of those things that you just don't get until you see it. Especially with a side by side comparison; 8k next to a 1080p is like a 1080p next to a SD cathode ray tube television.

    and just a side not: YouTube has been supporting 4k since last year, it Will replace the 1080 standard out there. although im not sure how internet service providers will deal with the bandwidth usage, the streams are already being provided.
