 “Where does the advancement in screen technology lead photographies?” 

With the constant/current rapid advancement of viewing screens, seemingly without end, and with the widespread availability of 4k, Ultra-HD, 5k, Retina panels, P3 Colour, True-Tone, etc, etc and with ever higher refresh rates and nits brightness in all formats, this paper hopes to discover where this may lead photographies.

For example, if in the near future, you make an image via the traditional method of using a lens and recording surface, be that analogue or digital, and you have incorporated elements that the high-definition world deems to be a ‘fault’, one that needs correction, and then that image is then presented on one of these much-improved screens, what affect will that image now have?

In an attempt to contribute an answer to the main questions, this proposed paper will venture to respond to the following points:

·      What role does the qualities of the screen play in the reception of the image? 

·      If the screen’s main role is to show every image in as super-high-definition as possible, does it therefore follow that by improving the technical attributes of pictures by removing what it sees as faults, improve how we ‘see’ images?

·      Who chooses what criteria these automatically applied attributes follow in respect to re/move these so-called labelled quirks and faults?

·      Will this continued progression of viewing screens (in all its formats) lead to making images in different ways? And if so then if we do live in a constant world of HD imagery, how will that affect us as humans?

With some of the answer from these I hope to contribute to the question of:

‘Where will this lead photographies?’

Image will be one with reduced everything in an attempt to make it look as bland as it possibly can be on these screens.
