Forums - Gaming Discussion - So, I was completely wrong about 4K

I didn't think it mattered that much until I got my 55" Oled and it blew me away lol

I don't think I've seen 4K already, but I'm 99% sure that I would barely see the difference and that I couldn't care less about it.

I thought I would need a larger TV to really notice the difference but it is very visible. A friend came to visit today and he reacted immediately to the image quality, especiellt when I switched the resolution between 1080p and 2160p.

Seen 4k on a 50inch TV.

It's alright.

I've had a 4K tv for a year and I thought it was great. Then, I changed some settings from what I THOUGHT were good and realized I was doing it wrong the whole time.

 

Then again, looking my old cringeworthy threads, I argued in favor of 720p over 1080p so... Ignore me.



Just looked at the specs: Nice pick. It's like a knockoff Sony for a lower price.

 

((NOT SARCASM, just read it to myself and I feel like this footnote is necessary))

It's 4 times the resolution of full HD (1080p). How is that not visible? I really have to question people's brain capabilities which are creating a picture in their mind or their visual senses if they are working correctly.

It's like a guy with only one eye tries to tell me that you cannot see in 3D.

So what was the settings you changed?



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I've got a 55" LG oled & I have to say that 4k is the least impressive feature on it. If you put a gun to my head I can maybe tell the difference when netflix is displaying in 4k over 1080p but imo it's more marketing than material difference at this point. To really feel a tangible benefit you really need to be sitting close by & go for 65" plus.

The fact that you need a GPU 4x the power to play the same game at 4k over full HD, which for most people will result in a subtle improvement, if any at all, makes the whole thing a bit of a false dawn!

That extra power could be used for so much - it's a shame that Sony & Microsoft's hubris is finding it's target...

Love my Sony Bravia 4k TV I bought few months ago.


Need to buy another one once me and the misses buy a house more likely next year after she gets her job.

I picked that up for my brother for Christmas. My parents also have the 65" model mounted in their living room, and my girlfriend just picked up the 49" model.

 

Myself, though... I have the XBR65X930E #EmployeeDiscount

First of all, either your eyes are awful (perfectly possible), you got too small of a TV (the purpose of 4K is larger images at closer distances, so if you're watching a 55" from 10 feet away you're doing it wrong), or you're just lying to push an agenda.

 

Second, please tell me you're not gaming on that
