Re: Another Crucial Aspect of the Human Eye
Not totally correct as the eye scans the fovea over objects so that all detail is the reconstructed in the brain.
A 2000mm screen with 4kx2k is a whole different experience from 1920x1080 at 2000mm. It is much more immersive as detail wherever we look convinces us that things are real.

Also the rumor 1920 x 1080i = 1920 x 540P is lacking empirically.
Depends how you look at it.
If I shoot 1080i 50 fields per second each of those fields when displayed progressively is going to have a vertical resolution of 540 pixels. That is all the vertical information which is recorded per field. If I play this back so that the viewer sees both fields (typical television) at the same time, we are asking the brain to do some pretty weird things (the brain is good at this). First it has to blend the two fields together then interpret the sequence of still images as motion. The problem of recording interlace (not psf) is that the second field is acquired after the first field but presented at essentially the same time. Any and I mean any! motion is going to cause our brains to blur the image so that we can put it back together in our heads.
I just don't understand why modern TV's do not present interlaced recordings as progressive with double the frame rate. Try it out on your computer, subtle but visible. Motion vector sampling for the uprez instead of just linear interpolation does make a difference.
