In July 2022 I asked 567 VJs which resolution they mostly use. Sixty-five per cent said Full HD 1920×1080. Two per cent said 8K. I re-ran the poll on 30 July 2026 across our Telegram channel and our Facebook community. Full HD lost its majority. It now sits somewhere between 34% and 41% depending on which platform you ask, and the 4K family has overtaken it. That is a larger move than I expected. Consequently this article now carries both data sets, the four-year comparison, and an honest account of where the two polls disagree — because they disagree in a way that is more interesting than either number on its own.
Who this article is for: VJs and motion designers deciding what to render, content producers deciding what to stock, and technical directors specifying a show.
What it solves: everyone assumes resolution goes up over time. In this industry it does not go up uniformly — it splits, and the split is the whole story.
What you get by the end: both polls side by side, the arithmetic that tells you what resolution a screen can actually display, why architectural mapping and immersive interiors are moving in opposite directions, how geography changes the answer, and a forecast to 2036 with reasoning you can check.
Hello dear VJs and clients of LIME ART GROUP. I am new media artist Alexander Kuiava. I run these polls periodically because our own production planning depends on the answer — what we render, we have to sell.
