My friend got a 4K TV and i watching videos and games in 4K and the difference was so "meh". yeh its better, but by such a small amount. Whats the point of paying so much money for it. Why are gaming companies even pushing for it when its so unimpressive.
I also have shit eye sight so i could be wrong
Listen retard, it's called diminishing returns. The more technology progresses the less you notice it. Especially when it comes to graphics and display resolutions. BUT does that mean that the companies that dish out the money to design this garbage don't want your money? Of course not, so they hype it up like it's the next big thing and charge you out the ass hoping to get you to invest in it so you can use your cool new 4k gaming setup for social clout. Just don't buy into it.
I find myself looking at 1080p movies all the time on my 4K TV, can't be arsed to download a 60 GB file for just ONE movie.
And no I can't see any difference what-so-ever unless I move close to the screen, but from a distance it's all the same.
only buy a 4K screen if you have a smaller 720p screen, else ur just wasting your money.
top tip: Buy a 2nd hand 1080p HDR screen, they are dirt cheap in the coming months.
I got my 55" 4k TV for $600 which wasn't bad. I use it as a monitor.
there's no difference at anything even resembling normal viewing distances, it doesn't even make sense for a monitor unless you're doing graphical design work on some 30+ inch monstrosity
they console kids have just never seen AA before, so they think it's a matter of resolution
Was it actually 4K media? tons of people buy high end AV equipment and then don't properly use it. Additionally, you need to consider if the 4K file is actually high quality and not compressed to shit. Then, think the distance you sit from the TV and its size, and the quality of the panel - HDR OLED vs your 2006 LCD is night and day.
4K TVs are unnecessary for most, but 4K monitors are much needed if you consider how close you sit to them in comparison. I am tired of seeing pixels.
Man, i keep pretending to have 4k 144gz since a year. It kinda works since there are games that allow you to go higher than 60 frames even if it doesnt show more than 60 frames.
My retarded friend doesnt even understand that my monitor is only 1080p75hz.
(only doing it because hes pissing me off with his dumb nu technology bullshit. Cant even have a proper conversation without him bousting about his awesome big TV)
At this point its just something social from smalldicked people artificially trying to increase their penis size by whoever got the bigger TV.
Either that or im just ridiculously blind
>Itt: retards with 20/1000 vision.
Bet you can not see over 24fps too, right?
It's brilliant for delivering a crip, clean looking image, if the game is natively supported. Not to mention it gets rid of the need for AA, which is a mess these days.
Basically this. The leap from 1080p to 4K is massively visible.
Even before examining whether or not the visual gains make it worth it I can tell you it's not for two simple reasons
-Getting weekly 4k content with proper hdr profiles and everything is still a huge pain in the ass and there isn't even enough content getting released in the first place to make it worthwhile (looking forward to 4k Amazon Prime? Well I hope you don't plan on watching on your PC)
-Specs required for 4k still way too high end and expensive, even on a 1,200 or 1,500 dollar machine I bet you will not be able to pull a solid 60fps with max settings and resolution
I'd rather that would be 1440p and with less awful bloom on my 1440p monitor than 4k and 30fps...
>30fps
Nyet comrade.
4k is a scam and next gen will be 25 fps again because of it.
>cont...
truly a low poly shit take, how are you inferring the rest of us have bad eyesight??
60 fps is essential for racing games, but this looks ps3-ps4, it doesn't look impressive at all. At least post wipeout HD ps3 if you want to show beautiful visuals on 60fps.
True 4K is a huge difference imo. I had a 4K TV at a place I was living for 5 months and tried a few titles with it on PS4 Pro (FFXV, DQ11 and TLOU) and even those which I think have upscaled 4K from 2100p were a huge difference. Just wish we could have the option of games at 4K AND 60FPS instead of struggling for 30. I'm planning to go XboxSX for that reason as it looks like a few titles definitely will and I'm too lazy to build a PC
I can play your goalpost moving all day user.
then stop posting shit games user
>Then, think the distance you sit from the TV and its size
this rules out 100% of "4k" (2160p) TVs.
It heavily depends on screen size and pixel density. Try playing something at 860x540 (or a similar res since it will most likely not be an option) and you will notice that shit's blurry. Try doing the same on a phone and it will be much harder to notice a difference. Now do the same with a huge TV. The difference will be there.
So basically if you have huge displays, it is pretty much worth it. If you're using a regular sized PC monitor, you will get nothing but better antialiasing for the price of playing the game at approximately 25-30% of your 1080p FPS.
For games there is a clear and definitive step up from 1080p. But so is 1440p, and between 1140p and 4k the difference seems less impressive, obviously it depends on the game but with how widespread TAA is I notice I have to get really close to the TV to notice the additional details.
Then there is the issue of performance, I have a 1080ti, which is by no means an obsolete card and when it comes to modern releases 4k/60 is off the table, it's either 1440/60 or 4k/30.
other way around, retard
the viewing distance on a monitor is an order of magnitude less than a TV
Ah yes the classic "any game that disproves my point is shit". Carry on user.
at least your last screenshot, while low poly has style
like other user said, view distance is inversely related to amount of pixels you are able to notice.
Your friend probably hasn't even set it up properly, it takes forever to configure most televisions to actually look good.
1080 to 4k is actually a really nice jump.
>posts one of the worst artstyles in build engines since redneck rampage
OK, let's us agree to disagree.
Its probably some 60hz pos with an Xbox one (30hz) player. Made this mistake as a noob. Get a 120hz 4k set and its like a whole new world.
AND THIS
IS TO GO
EVEN FULLER RETARD
HUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
My brother had the same reaction to 4k until I exchanged his HDMI cable for a newer one. I suspect a lot of retards have the same problem, trying to use their 10 year old HDMIs from their xbox 360s on new hardware.
Are you having a stroke user? Do we need to call an ambulance?
Unlike the argument that "your eyes can't see past 30 fps" the human eye does have limits to the resolution it's able to discern.
To actually be able to notice the benefits of a 4K screen you either need to have a huge TV or be sitting super close to it.
Am I reading this chart wrong or does it indicate you need to be 30ft from a 110 inch screen to truly get the benefit of 720p content?
More or less that
Imagine using 1080p in the year 2020 lol
How does that even work? Has nobody ever heard of PPI? Now I suppose one could argue for TV content the chart sort of kinda maybe makes sense but for rendered graphics that is bullshit.
4K is good for a couple reasons. One, it's antialiasing without any filtering. The detail is just there, smaller. No need to change any settings for it, doing so would be overkill. If more people ran 4k, AA will be increasingly unnecessary. Second, 4k lets you have more information on the screen. As a workplace monitor, it's really good. As a monitor to have something else open while playing a game, it's really useful because its impressive size and detail let you see more of what you need to see without alt tabbing. Strictly for gaming it doesn't help that much because 4k 144hz is still rare and requires beefy computer power to manage and most games have scaling hud and don't currently make use of 4k res as the standard as we have 1080p, or perhaps diminishing returns mean 4k can't face any improvements in HUD in contrast from 1080p from 720p had. It depends on the type of game, though. Any pixel hunting game like twitch shooters or Milsims become a little less about shooting blocky bits in the distance taking up .1% of your screen and more about shooting dudes that size.
Why all the hype about it? Well, we're going there eventually. I think big wigs in console biz think 60fps will be the development they save for when their graphics practically can't get better because that's the only difference they'd be able to make and still be an improvement, do they're just milling through resolution sizes until we get bored of it.
