Nah, no 4k, no point. Thinking I might upgrade my HD on my PS4 though, prep for early next year when all those great games come out (ME4, T7, FF12)



Hmm, pie.

I will when my 50" bedroom TV goes out. It's got two dead pixel rows right now. I'll put my 55" in the bedroom and get a 4k with a ps4 pro. Hopefully this will be a year or two from now because I don't really care to spend that much now. I should probably get some new glasses before I even worry about 4k-ish visuals. LOL

The XBR43X800D tempted you, I see.

 Yup. 43 inches is a comfortable size for a TV, it's 4K, and it's very comfortably priced. Cant wait to play my Pro!

The funny part is probably half the people in this thread getting a 4K TV will never notice the difference between 1080p and 4K as it's a given that most of them are buying sub-84" 4K TVs. This is because the human eye cannot physically resolve that many pixels fully at a 9-10 feet viewing distance on smaller TVs. Great 4K marketing for TV manufacturers and Sony though. I'd say 75" is the bare minimum for a normal living room viewing distance to make 4K even worthwhile. The ability to run some games at 1080p 60Hz and HDR will be by far the bigger impact, but the PC does both of those better already.

no point buying consoles for graphical improvements that still won't touch the PC......

Yes. Already bought an LG 65UH8500.

Whether at launch or by Horizon Zero Dawn's release is the question, as i don't see any must-plays until then.

They could bundle the game with the console, i'd hate to miss out on that.

God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

I was a definite purchaser until the ffxv slim was shown. Gotta buy that!

Already have a ps4 and just can't see myself buying another anytime soon.

That's not contradictory at all.

I believe this chart is accurate in test conditions, however I don't think it will be as black&white for the end-user watching for years.  I'd say this is one of those, "your eyes can't see"-type of immortal claims which just won't die.

Who will see the benefits and who will not will vary greatly, because eyesight varies a lot. Type of content will be another major contributor how big the differences even can be.

It is not crucial whether our eyes can "physically resolve that many pixels fully", just partly will make the difference since human sight is not binary.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

I´m most likely buying.
If NX is really a handheld with a dock to be plugged in the TV then I don´t care about it. I also have a PC and really don´t care much for microsoft stuff. Considering that ps4 pro is really the only place I´ll be playing outside of PC I might as well upgrade to play the exclusives better.

 

If there´s a home version of the NX with a regular controller I might consider that instead of a PS4 upgrade.
