The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

I have pretty poor eyesight too but, I mean it's a pretty striking difference
you might want to get your eyes looked at if these look the same (the 480 and 1080 ones)
although it depends on a lot on the screen and the distance from the screen, obviously
sitting at a computer monitor it's significant (although not the 4k one, imo, but I'd like to see it in motion on a 4k screen).
I had a chance to play CS on my friend's 144hz G-sync monitor and it was magical
for example you could read text in motion clear as day where as on my monitor at home it would be a blur
I can spot the difference between DVD and Bluray but that's a resolution thing. Though even then everything after 1080 might as well be the same. I can only very, very slightly tell the difference between the 1080 and 4k pictures above. Definitely wouldn't pay extra for the latter.
That's also a good point: seeing a difference is one thing, caring about it enough to pay for it or to do what it takes to obtain it is another.
Obviously, if I had 2 PS3, and they were identical in *every single aspect*, including size, price, EVERYTHING, but one of them gave constant 60 FPS, of course I'd pick it.
But there are other differences between a system and another system, or between a PC and a console, or between different PCs and PC parts, and honestly, I don't need more than what I have to play Smite on my PC, Mario Kart 8 on my Wii U, You Don't Know Jack on my PS3, or Towerfall Ascension on my Ouya.
Maybe if you paused during a moment of high-speed action?
You know, the typical way to watch movies
"If you ever paused to got up and get popcorn or go take a pee, and then came back to sit on the couch, and looked at the TV while holding your remote to press PLAY, you'd TOTALLY know what I'm talking about!"
I outed a monster who emotionally abused me and, by her own definition, RAPED me
You have to wonder about the way her journalist friends refused to cover the issue in order to protect her image after multiple sources started corroborating a single picture of her extremely toxic character.
And now she's doing an AMA.
Basically, imagine a bunch of people who have purposely decided to avoid looking at what’s really going on gush to Hitler* about how much they love and appreciate his work on social issues. Then imagine Hitler pretending to blush modestly before sharing some story about what a difficult time the creation of Mein Kampf was for him. Then imagine remembering that not only did you have sex with that thing, but it was the first person you fell in love with. You will cringe at what you did, and you will cringe when you see a bunch of other people doing it.
You also have to wonder if my timing wasn't fortunate. Who knows whether Zoe would've slept with Tycho during PAX. She's not beneath anything.
4k is cinema resolution, you're not gonna see much difference unless you have a really really huge screen.
