I have a 4K 120hz OLED TV. The difference is quite drastic compared to my old 1080p LED. It's certainly sharper, and probably the practical limit. I've also seen 8K, and, meh. I don't even care if it's noticable, it's just too expensive to be worthwhile. We should just push more frames and lower latency for now, or, the Gods forbid, optimise games properly.
I feel like resolution wasn't much of an issue even at 1080p. It was plenty. Especially at normal viewing distances.
The real advantages are things like HDR and higher framerates including VRR. I can actually see those.
I feel like we're going to have brighter HDR introduced at some point, and we'll be forced to upgrade to 8K in order to see it.
Ehhhh, I think 1080p is definitely serviceable, it's even good enough for most things. However, I think 1440p and 4k are both a pretty noticeable improvement for stuff like gaming. I can't go back to 1080p after using my 3440x1440 monitor.
I notice more on my PC. Being up close I can see individual pixels. And for productivity software, the higher resolution wins every time.
On a 55" TV, sitting 3 metres away, no real difference for me. I'd rather have extra frames than extra pixels.
And that's for gaming. With good quality video, I can't see any difference at all.
Depends entirely on the size of the screen.
A normal monitor is fine on 1080p
But once you go over 40", a 4K is really nice
Ok but will you be able to use it in 2036.
Will the planet survive until 2036?
Well, the planet is not going anywhere. Human species on the other side...
Fertilizer.
Not if we keep throwing away all our TVs
I've heard recently that there's "cheap OLED" and "expensive OLED." Which one did you go for? I've got a 75" 4k OLED for $400 and it's definitely super dark. I can't even watch some movies during the day if they're too dark. The expensive ones are supposed to be a lot better.
I've got an older Sony bravia A9G and I've seen reviews complaining that it's too dim but I've had no issues. I think some people just have really poorly thought out tv placement, or overly bright rooms. Also just close the curtains if the movie is dark...
If you want to watch tv outside in direct sunlight you'll need to follow this guide to build a custom super bright tv: https://youtu.be/WlFVPnGEb8o
A Sony Bravia, so decently high end probably.
Hot damn. Yeah that looks like one of the "expensive" OLEDs, lol
Tetris Effect has never looked this good
Too expensive both in terms of the price, and the massive amount of storage needed for 8k video. I don't really think 8k is ever going to be the dominant format. There's not really much point in just increasing resolution for miniscule gains that are almost certainly not noticeable on anything but a massive display. Streaming services are going to balk at 8k content.
