I got the same tv a month ago, except 65" model. It's an awesome tv. I just watched "Your Name" on it on blu-ray and it looked stunning. Color reproduction is top notch. However for 4K material I need to plonk my chair in the middle of the living room to really appreciate the extra detail. From the couch at 12ft away 4K doesn't really matter, HDR still stands out though. It makes regular programming look dull. But damn, the sun sitting low on GT Sport over the Nordschleife, head and tail lights of cars, sexy colors of the cars I've never seen a tv produce before. Tokyo express way between 4K HDR and regular 1080p is a night and day difference. It actually looks like night.

Horizon zero dawn on the ps4 pro blew me away. Might not buy a 4k tv until the ps5. Few things I need a sub $1000 4k 55" to have before I commit.

I can tell on mine, but I agree it isn't the night and day jump going to HD a decade ago was for me.

1) Which one?

2) Please tell me you don't do heavy gaming on that

3) Make sure you shut it off every three or so hours.

4k is nice

First of all, that chart is from a site that believes Image Retention isn't a super-important stat for a screen while gaming or using as a computer monitor. They give great objective information on TVs, but they tend to be full of shit when it comes to more subjective information (which in this instance would be anything that can't be measured).

Second of all, yeah, a 55" isn't for ten feet away. Like I just said. That's why the industry standard isn't 55" now, it's 65". 55" is still popular, though, because many people live in apartments where the sitting area is 6-8ft away from the TV. Not everyone lives in a house with a living that gives them a 10ft distance from the couch.

Third of all, if he says he can see a difference, then his eyes are probably just better.

And finally, if you didn't have an agenda you would have put all the pieces together to learn why 4K is a thing. I can spell it out for you, though: 4K is so we can have bigger screens in smaller spaces without losing pixel density and succumbing to the "screen door" effect. That's it. Yes, it also means more detailed images, but the biggest thing is maintaining high pixel densities at larger sizes. Have you ever seen a 100" 1080p TV? The pixel structure looks like a fucking Light Bright.

4K alone doesn't really mean much, the overall quality of the panel is much more important tbh. It's just that most top of the line TVs with the best tech (HDR, colour reproduction, OLED often, etc.) are 4K now, because that's the least you should expect from a high end 1500$+ TV.

Basically, it's not the increased resolution that makes the huge difference, it's just the general increase in quality.

Depending on the content 4K is very big improvement, of course a big tv helps

Is there a TV enthusiast around here that can explain how durable are OLED TV's when used primarily for gaming purposes?

I dont know if i go with an OLED LG or the new Sony X930E.

What would you recommend?

What 4k TVs so I guys have.i like budget RVs no sense spending over a grand when something better and cheaper will come out next year
