| Sep 19 at 20:43 | comment | added | Ramhound | @GeorgeNtoulos - There absolutely are rules and guidelines but they are not explicit, more general guidelines since what is considered high quality is fairly subjective. I still feel I am going to disengage from this question at this point | |
| Sep 19 at 20:35 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound I don't think it is a waste of time to improve the questions. I am saying that there is no rules on that. Especially when the "quality" is decided by arbitrary voting. I am saying I am not told how to improve the questions. I am happy to learn there is nothing to learn because of the opacity of the SE exchange rules and the arbitrariness of voting it's neither a refusal to learn nor a claim that "I know enough" it is a complain of the opacity and arbitrariness. | |
| Sep 19 at 20:32 | comment | added | Ramhound | If you think it’s a waste of time to improve the quality of your question, and there is nothing to learn (on how to ask high quality questions), then there isn’t much to say so I will disengage | |
| Sep 19 at 20:21 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound There is nothing for me to learn (how to ask good questions, how to improve said question) when I am at the mercy of the community and good will. | |
| Sep 12 at 4:08 | comment | added | Ramhound | @GeorgeNtoulos - If it’s in the queue all you can do is wait for the community to reopen your question. If the question is not reopened, then edit it again, and select the checkbox indicating your address the closure. Authors of questions don’t have the ability to vote to reopen a question only edit the question and select the checkbox. Trying to reopen a question that hasn’t been improved is a waste of the communities time and limited resources | |
| Sep 10 at 23:59 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @VomitIT-ChunkyMessStyle For me there is no Reopen button. This probably is a reputation-based privilage. My question is in the review queue. | |
| Sep 10 at 22:48 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @JoepvanSteen Post answers as answers. Not all pixels are the same size. In order to fit 36 times the pixel count inside the same panel side each pixel is going to be 36 times smaller. | |
| Sep 10 at 18:24 | comment | added | user705502 | It's literally an answer to your question, a block of 1*1 pixel is smaller that a block of 36*36 pixels, a block of 36*36 pixels is bigger than a block of 1*1 pixels. | |
| Sep 10 at 15:51 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @JoepvanSteen In a 720p screen (24" from 1 ft away) I can hardly make out 1 big individual pixel. I don't think from 1 ft away I could make out the individual subpixels in a 36 pixel block fron a 8k screen (24" from 1 ft away). | |
| Sep 10 at 15:24 | comment | added | user705502 | The more 'grouped' pixels that represent a single original pixel, the more 'pixelated' the image becomes. When viewing from same distance you'd be able to make out those individual 'blown up' pixels. | |
| Sep 10 at 14:58 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @JoepvanSteen And I am asking to have these physics explained. | |
| Sep 10 at 14:48 | comment | added | user705502 | You can view it on a single screen, it just will potentially look bad basically due to physics (a single pixel represented by several identical pixels). | |
| Sep 10 at 14:19 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @JoepvanSteen I am not asking for a suggestion on learning materials. I am not asking someone to suggest a textbook. A "problem" would be viewing content with different resolution on 1 single screen. | |
| Sep 10 at 13:24 | comment | added | user705502 | IMO, after edit it's still off-topic as you're not trying to solve an issue / problem but seeking to understand / learn about a topic. But that's how I interpret the rather vague "learning material recommendations are off-topic" 'rule'. You already accept pixels get bigger, smaller pixels (relative to screen size) = better viewing experience. I don't see a problem you can solve. | |
| Sep 10 at 13:10 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @JoepvanSteen Please post answers as answers (didn't you read on two screens with the same total size). I edited the question anyway. Should I edit the META question accordingly? | |
| Sep 10 at 10:41 | comment | added | user705502 | "I don't know how a square of 36 pixels would look compared to 1 big pixel even if they had the same color on two screens with the same total size and 36 times the density in the higher resolution screen viewed from the same distance." - it would look like a freaking big pixel so without changing viewing distance it could look weird, you'd see collection of blocks rather than an image. But that's not a solvable problem (other than by changing view distance) and that's what SU is about. | |

| Sep 10 at 2:40 | comment | added | Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style | @GeorgeNtoulos I just left you a comment on the closed question post for an idea to help you fix it. Just need to reword it some to be more clear and concise and then you'll probably get votes to help you reopen it. This has happened to me a lot on the Politics SE community, so I keep learning each SE site that I visit and post on, best ways to learn, making mistakes..... choo choo, chugga chugga, choo choo!! | |
| Sep 9 at 17:35 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound Let me quote Mokubai on a different question superuser.com/questions/1854428/…. Just because you say the question is unclear or opinion based doesn't make it so. My comment weren't an attempt to clarify the question but understand what issues others find with it (why is it unclear why is it opinion based). I editted the question more that a couple of times. I received no more feedback that 2 ultimata. | |
| Sep 9 at 17:31 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound I am probably the only person who can give feedback to himself...... 10 of these 18 are mine. Jsotola says it is unclear what is the question. Mokubai informs me of the name of the term (no feedback there), Then Jsotola tells me the question is Opinion Based. And the 5 comments from music2myear were an attempt to reinterpret myquestion (no I didn't mean source I really meant content) and a discussion about my person (about how ignorant I am of the source resolution) instead of my question. I received no feedback. Just 2 ultimata that the question was unclear/opinion based. | |
| Sep 9 at 16:54 | comment | added | Ramhound | There are 18 comments to the original question. Suggesting you received no feedback isn't exactly a clear representation of the facts. You actually did receive feedback on your question before it was closed. | |
| Sep 9 at 14:58 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound I received no feedback. I am trying to understand how the question isn't clear, on-topic and answerable based on evidence. | |
| Sep 7 at 22:25 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound I never mentioned GenAI I mentioned AI because AI is used for image enhanment and I wanted to make myself clear that I don't want any enhancement. I don't want any detail that wasn't there. Why is it substantial for the question to understand the reason for the AI (not GenAI) mention? I removed the unfortunate mention of AI. So now if you can answer why the question is off-topic please we digress. | |
| Sep 7 at 21:08 | comment | added | Ramhound | Still doesn’t explain why you mention GenAI. What you say about GenAI does not seem to be anything of substance. I am not punishing anyone, closure votes, are not punishment. I also didn’t vote on this particular question, not that it would matter, since I agree the question needed to be closed and improved before it can be answered | |
| Sep 7 at 17:00 | comment | added | George Ntoulos | @Ramhound No AI gave me a responce. AI is used in image enhancement etc. I recognize simply that you can't invent new information the best AI can do is estimate (it can look ugly). Are you punishing me for an "irrrelevant" statement? There are three different close reasons. First people alleged it was opinion based so I tried to move away from how it looks different and focus on the factual differences (appearances vs reality). But then the question was closed as being off-topic. The comments I submitted was not to clarify my question but for me to understand what people thought about it. | |
| Sep 7 at 16:45 | comment | added | Ramhound | For instance, it's not clear the relevancy of this statement: "I know that AI hallucinates, and there can be mistakes/errors in fidelity with replication and any upscale algorithm, but it seems strange to claim that a 720p video will look best at a 720p display (all else equal) than on an 8k display." You recognize that AI can and likely did hallucinate when it gave you that response. | |
| Sep 7 at 16:43 | comment | added | Ramhound | You receive a lot of feedback. It seems the question was unclear. Now, the community could reopen the question and then close it because it is unclear, but it wouldn't change the fact that it is unclear. Have you improved the clarity of the question by editing it, not by submitting comments to clarify your question? | |
