| Barozi said: I'd say it's not worth the wait. There is always something better coming out so if you keep pushing it back, you will never buy anything. I bought my first HD television in 2011 (50" with 3D), another one for the bed room in 2013 (47") and finally my 4k TV in 2018 (70"). All of them are still in use and who knows, maybe I buy another one in 5 years. |
You're not wrong but I noticed HDMI updates don't come out too often so if you want to it fairly future proof for 10 years in this regard it would be worth waiting. Yeah they'll do a 2.2 or 3.0 in 6 years or whatever but at least you'll only be 1 update behind instead of 2 for your last 3 or 4 years with the TV.
HDMI 1.4 2009
HDMI 2.0 2013
HDMI 2.1 2019
HDR 8 is standard now but the jump to HDR 10 is big and it will likely be far more common next gen. Hard to know if it's worth waiting full a full HDR TV set which is 12 bits and not expected in production until late 2020. I'll only get one in 2021 if it's at an affordable price. But considering HDR 10 will only be getting common by then HDR 12 would really future proof you for a long time. Maybe even until PS6.
The other stuff like free sync the ps5 will support but will devs implement it?
