Nowadays 4k TVs are basically affordable now under 400 so it's easy to cop. But remember baxk when nikkas thought you wasn't shyt because you had 'only' 1080p, no Smart TV? Shyt was ridiculous

networks dont even broadcast in 4k

While this is true we live in the streaming era and most of the new streaming showss or platform original movies are in 4K and/or HDR.

Plus 4K discs are really hitting their stride right now with new and catalog releases.

You at least gotta get 1080 though breh:huhldup:

I don't really have a need for a 4K TV yet. I got a 1080p TV in my room and in the living room, and my phone, tablet and laptop are 2K. I'm def making the switch soon but I just have a :flabbynsick: PS3 atm so ima wait.

meh... my picture stills looks great. i dont buy blu rays. live TV streaming doesn't even go above 6 Mbit bitrate, so whether its displaying on 720 or 1080 it really doesnt make a difference on the picture quality. Netflix does some 4k, but its not like the picture isn't still crystal clear if you don't have a 4k tv. i need to be able to see how caked on the makeup is on actors faces.

im good :hubie:

We're you good when VHS was around and said you didn't need DVD? :troll:

Really moreso than the upstick in resolution, HDR is the biggest gamechanger when it comes to UHD.

whats even more ridiculous is your local cable provider still isn't providing 1080p content as their standard.

i cut cable anyway, rather save money than worry about 4k content. Still rockin with my 1080p plasma, PQ on plasma is still GOAT for the money, especially for sports.

TVs are hardly a status symbol. Honestly they lose their value so fast they're borderline worthless less than a year after you buy them. From the moment you buy a TV on the only real value it has is to you as long as you find it useable. Also every 2 years there's usually a major hardware change that renders the older TVs even more worthless in value anyway. 2 years ago it was HDR before that it was HDMI 2.0. Next year it'll be HDMI 2.1 with dynamic HDR.

I got a 2015 Samsung JS9000. One model below their most expensive TV that year and a 4K TV with HDR. Cost me $2200. The next year the KS8000 which is several models below their best TV was on sale for $1000 and has better HDR than my TV. My TV gets up to about 500nits of brightness. The KS8000 gets past 1000nits. The ultra HD premium HDR spec requires 1000nits so my more expensive TV doesn't get certified.

TVs are a very poor purchase.
