Nope resolution is important; I want both hence why I have X1x. Developer actually have the choice yet they always choose to boost resolution. That show that the general gaming public prefere resolution

Oh yeah man. Your explanation is awesome. 

The threat is pretty clear. Resolution is overrated, yes o no. 

In 2013 the answer was NO. (beginning of generation, DF was making its videos over and over again about 1080p ps4, 900p one). 

In 2017 the answer was YES. (xbox one x comes on the scene. Where is DF now? Oh yeah, the comparison now is about ps4 pro and switch). 

Who cares about PC. We are talking about consoles. PC users can take resolution they want. 

First framerate, >40fps is fine for me, but if I can reach 60fps, matching my monitor's 60Hz refresh rate, so much the better. After I got a decent framerate, I look for a balance between resolution and effects, anyhow having just a 1080p monitor I don't need a res any higher than that. If I must choose a compromise, I prefer getting 1080p and then just the effects I like and the best anti-aliasing I can get without sacrificing framerate and resolution. Usually I find acceptable compromises, as I don't like any FX that make the images less sharp or that add badly implemented supposedly realistc flaws, so I turn them off completely. Any FX well done is welcome, anyway, if it doesn't make fall under the minimum I prefer the features I consider essential.
If you're talking about 4k, then I agree completely, as I don't need it yet, neither having any TV or monitor reaching that res, nor large enough to really get visible benefits from it, although I could consider 4k res on monitors in which 1080p is already enough if it can be used to implement a faster and smoother antialiasing.

It depends how close you are and on the content. I did some tests a long time ago. Put these picture up on a 1080p screen full screen and walk or lean back until you can't tell the difference anymore.








First two are 1080p and 540p. The last two go down to 270p. It's simply the first picture resized, then pixel doubled to original size.

Detail and clean AA go before resolution. Ofcourse clean AA requires resolution in the first place as the best way to do it is still super sampling. You tube always looks way worse than the resolution it runs at due to the heavy compression. Blue ray still looks a lot more clear than Netflix at 1080p.

I know I was just kidding.

I look at it like this: In want to see a movie. When the credits roll, all I care about is whether or not I enjoyed it. As long as there were no issues that took me out of the experience, I could enjoy it on VHS, DVD, Blu Ray, or 4K. I've even watched some "bootleg" films that like there was Vaseline on the lens.

Clearer is better but not as important as it's been made out to be. I have both mid gen upgrades and sometimes I struggle to see the improvements on my 4K TV. I know they're there but when I play on the base consoles, I don't care at all. I just want to play the game. Somewhere along the way, I fell for the resolution con. It was never that serious outside of forum bragging rights.

This.

Sure, if you can have the same game in better image quality, it is an improvement. But no improvement in image quality will make the boring game better than the good one.

Yes and no, it depends on the game. But in most cases, I'd rather have good PP effects than a high resolution. Lighting, design and direction counts more as far as I'm concerned, even for games with higher graphical focus. It's kinda painful to play many modern games with low resolutions once you're used to higher ones though (I play my games in 1440p most of the time). Kinda like it's a bit of a drag to watch DVD's when you have 4k blu-ray.

Well, considering that I've had access to different resolutions over my years of gaming, I'd say no, I'd say it's important to me, just as much as fps is.

I like resolution, fps and effects all the same, but I always strive to find a balance between all 3, rather than outright all of one aspect and none of the other two.

Perhaps it's because I'm getting older yet last night ST Insurrection was on tv and I'm thinking that looks damn great on my 4K tv, while the source is 1080i mpeg2 (cable) or perhaps even 720p. I'm glad I didn't start rebuying my movie collection in 4K as I'm mostly watching Netflix (1080p) nowadays and happy with it.

I also still game far more on my old 1080p tv than on the 4K tv. I do see the difference when I switch my pro to the 4K tv, yet while I'm playing I don't bother to move over when the tv becomes available. Plus video capture works better on the 1080p tv as the downgrade from wide color HDR makes it all look rather over saturated with weird contrast. However there's still improved loading times, more storage space and improved performance especially with psvr, so not a waste at all.

Actually I usually have Voyager on, on the 4K tv, SD pillar boxed, while playing GT Sport on the pro on my old 1080p tv. Can't be bothered to switch it around.
