A lot of yall can't even see the benefits from next-gen consoles and don't even know it...

Some of yall love to talk graphics and resolutions and teraflops and all that shyt. They think they're doing something because they bought a $1000 OLED 3 years ago to go along with your PS5/Series X, but you're sitting 8ft away from the TV with a 55". That means when you're gaming you can't even see the benefits of anything above 1080p (some of yall aren't seeing benefits above 720p). That also means that you aren't seeing the graphical benefits; all this ray tracing, lighting, textures, ect bullshyt is being somewhat muddied out by the resolution.

How many of yall are actually taking advantage of "next-gen", or even last gen?






If also watch sports, movies, or whatever on the same TV, here's a curveball for you:

I have 2 55 inch TVs and sit about 7 feet away from them. Haven't been into buying huge TVs and sitting close to them. My apartment size means a 55in TV is the best size TV for me.

Your setup not only works for you but 7ft away, you're seeing it in 4k with all the benefits for everything except "cinema".

That’s crazy to me. I’m 10’ away with a 65” and I wish it was back a foot
Swear before I started researching TVs a couple years back, I had just told my cousin that my 60" was too close in my bedroom at about 9ft away. But the more I read about it the more I knew I had to get a 75-80". The livingroom is even worse (like 12ft away with a 70") so I'm not even gonna stress it.

This is facts, not even just your viewing distance/angel

All 4k TVs aren’t created equal. If you don’t have a good tv you aren’t seeing the content at its best either.

That would be ideal but I just can't sit at a desk and play games. I never could.
I don’t know it feels more natural than trying to sit in front of a tv rather u up close or far away
