  • Optimal Resolution vs Higher ones

Yesterday I sideloaded some 8k videos to my Quest2 to play them using DeoVR but I really don't see any quality improvements over its optimal version counterpart (usually 4K).
I guess the 8K, 7K and 6K versions are mostly upscaled versions of the originally recorded 4K video, but I expected some quality improvements.
It's just me having this "no better quality" perception?

Great videos, anyway 😉

Thanks in advance!

    shinobi1987 It depends entirely on the studio tbh. As you said, some studios do just upscale, which will not look any better than their smaller resolution counterparts.

    However- many studios do not upscale, or alternatively do upscale but only from (for example) 6k to 7k, and their 6k/7k/8k versions will look profoundly better than their 4k versions. Just take a look at any of the VRIntimacy scenes here on SLR, which are shot by CzechVR. The difference between their 8k version and 4k version will be almost night and day.

    You should be able to tell the difference with SLR Originals fairly easily as well, even just comparing their 6k to 4k versions. I was going to suggest that streaming quality might be affecting how it looks, but sounds like you're watching the downloaded versions, so guess that's not the issue.

    Thanks for your response!

    I do totally agree than native 6K or even higer resolutions have nothing to do with their 4K counterparts, and the problem here then is studios upscaling from 4K. I don't know who they want to cheat.
    I played this VRConk video where 4K is the native resolution and its "8K" version is clearly upscaled, resulting in a video that's only 8K in size, but 4K in quality. No point in downloading/streaming it.
