Conina said: In September 2019 I was able to exchange my worn out Xbox One for an Xbox One X for a moderate extra charge. Of course, from then on the desire for a "4K" TV became more present to take full advantage of the console graphics. At first I wanted to wait until the launch of the next console generation, but just one month later I got weak. I was already a big fan of the deep black levels of the OLED displays in my PSVR and my Oculus Rift, so I also wanted to have it for my next TV as well... and in fact, dark scenes in movies and games look pretty awesome. HDMI 2.1 for variable refresh rate in games, very low "input lag", HDR10, Dolby Vision and other bells and whistles had to be included, too... after all, the TV should accompany me through the complete next console generation. |
So my new OLED-4K-TV is the perfect companion for my PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC, which can display on it games, movies and TV shows up to 4K, with HDR or Dolby Vision; PC games up to 120 Hz and with variable refresh rate. The PS5, Xbox Scarlett and Switch Pro can come, all is set up for them.
Thanks to a generous gift of my best friend (the Christopher Nolan Collection another a 4K-box with 4 movies) I already have over 25 UHD movies... okay, since we watch most movies together anyways, that gift was more symbiotic than altruistic. My Netflix subscription is upgraded to 4K content and Amazon Prime also has some nice 4K content.
Meanwhile my trusty old 3D-TV, which gave me and my buddies thousands of enjoyable hours of console gaming, hundreds of Blu-ray 3D movies and over 1000 Blu-ray movies, has found a new home in the bedroom. I still love the stereoscopic 3D effect, especially in animated movies. In its new place, that 3D-TV (which still has gorgeous picture quality) is the perfect companion for my Wii U, PS3, Steam Link, PS1 Classic, C64 Mini, Blu-ray player, HD-DVD player and Fire TV.
The Wii U can play my favorite VC-games (SNES + N64), Wii games and Wii U games. The freshly cleaned PS3 Fat lady is now a lot quieter and can play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. The Steam Link is connected to my main PC, but gets rarely used. The PS1 Classic is modded with Autobleem/RetroArc and can play a lot more games than the included 20 PS1 games. And the C64 Mini is compatible to any C64 games thanks to the lastest firmware update.
