    Oh come on most doctors still view stuff like scans on 720p VGA screens. It’s fine. High resolution imaging is important not hi res viewers.

    This is like saying you need to have a 128k screen to view electron microscope images

      But the doctor needs to see every quark and gluon in your molecules! How did they perform heart transplants in the 1960s! Please don’t get in the way of technophiles inventing all kinds of fantasy scenarios to justify their hoarder-like behavior.

      You’re probably right in like 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% of cases, but I’d want to ensure we could save that extra 0.000000000000000000000000000000001%. I’d sacrifice anything and everything for just one more day with my loved ones. So, its probably overkill, but I’d rather screen resolution not being the thing that costs me time with those I care about.
