PC - 8k Anyone? - View Post

I use a 1080p LCD tv, 720p plasma in the bedroom, 1080p laptop, 1280x1024 pc screen (old pc, just storage now really), psvr and a 1080p projector.

Of that, a 4K or 8K VR headset makes the most sense.
A 4K projector also makes sense, however there's not enough content yet, nor any affordable native 4K HDR projectors for sale.
A 15.4" 4K laptop, pointless. I'm already sitting too close to read the text.
A 4K pc screen to copy files? Nah.
4K tv in the living room and bedroom, pointless. Can't stream 4K, cable is 720p/1080i, plus it would need to be really big to actually notice the difference.

I'll get a 4K tv sometime when hdmi 2.1 is standard and 4K + HDR gets added to cable tv, which might be after pigs learn to fly. Atm I don't care about upgrading for gaming since my focus there is on VR.

I was pretty hyped about 4K projectors and 4K blu-ray a few years ago. Now the only affordable projectors are half 4K (1080p pixel shift) with compromised HDR if any, 4K blu-ray specs were downgraded to fit on a souped up blu-ray disc and the available titles and quality of conversion is pitiful. Still I wouldn't mind having one of these: http://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/projector/vpl-vw5000es I'll say I won't buy it because it has no hdmi 2.1 support, not the CAD 85k price tag...
