Agree with Phil 100%
I rather play Horizon Zero Down in 30 FPS than a crappy game in 9000 FPS.

Why are people like me specifically called nerds for being content with 1080p 60fps+?.

I also don't see them being a tiny monority either, I only have 1 friend out of many that has a 4k tv setup, while the rest are still rocking their 1080p tv's.

been very happy with my 65"4k TV and eager for more content

Very nice. I hav ea 60" 1080p TV that I got like 3 years ago. Mentioned to my wife that I would need to be getting a 4k TV soon for my PS4 Pro and she just shook her head in shame. No idea what I'll do with the other 60". Probably just sell it for whatever the best offer is.

I ran into this same problem.  Bought a 50 inch 1080 in 2009, then told the wife I needed a new one when we bought our house so I could leave that TV in the general living space and have one in my gaming space, so bought that in 2013.  Then last year had to explain that while I did just buy a new TV I now needed a 4k one for my games because of console and PC upgrades.  So a 4k bought in 2016.  At this point, I have more TVs than I have rooms to put them in.

It's a completely moot point to demand 60fps in all games because of "gameplay".

You can demand it because you like it better, but don't drag a fuzzy description in to a discussion about hard numbers.

Cool, I'm upgrading to a 1080p 144hz monitor this week. If I ever need to I can always downsample my games.

This Generation microsoft has been better at delivering 60 fps (forza, gears of war multiplayer, halo) but overall consoles are just known for better graphics and 30fps caps.

I don't agree its not important I lower settings in games to achieve 60fps on my computer if nessesary but I do understand what he is saying most people do not care about 30fps.

Ive seen little complaints about horizon zero dawn, forza horizon series, driveclub or other games with the cap and those games all sold well despite this cap.

Also sony took the same route with the ps4 pro and people seem to love the pro, so I would agree console gamers generally like graphics over framerate.

I kind of don't give a crap is a game is 30/40 or 60fps, as long as it is constant

Well since you already have 60" and several PS4Pro titles won't really get to 4k, you can wait for it to be a little cheaper or buy a smaller 4k on the very cheap side to enjoy the extra res now and then sell both TVs and buy a competent big 4k when more feasible

Run similar, so I traded my 42" plasma to a 32" LCD that my wife uses on the kitchen and have a 21" loaned to my niece.

Well if that is what you values in gaming hope it serves your needs and give you a blast
