2016 was 3yrs ago except for 11 days. So the majority of your post isn't necessary, and as for this amazing picture you telling yourself you had with a first generation set and no content?

Bruh, name the movie that blew you away, you obviously owned it on uhd. Also the world cup didn't stream in native 4k 4yrs ago so you enjoyed your upscaled 720p image :francis: because according to Google there is nothing on 4k world cup in 2016. Now 2018 a different story.

It's been fun educating the masses even if they are kicking and screaming while you learn them :manny:
The world cup streamed in 4k on BBC iPlayer, what are you even talking about? And my 4ktv wasn't a 1st gen 4k TV, first gen 4k TVs didn't even have 3d abilities you think 2016 was 3 years ago?

If you enjoy everything you do you become soft, then you'll start using walkthroughs to finish unpolished 3 :hubie:

January 12th and afterwards was 3yrs or less from now, and 3d4k is definitely first gen. They quickly moved away from 3d but i guess you didn't get the memo :wow:

Also the TV I had which was 4k didn't even have HDR functionality who h debunks your entire theory of HDR being what makes 4k great

fukk this shyt. I’m fine with 4K and fattening up my Plex server with the best available shyt to download as long as it looks great on the screen.

average person STILL doesn’t even have rudimentary insight on these TV standards and have no problem buying a fukking Westinghouse or Element because it’s cheap at the store during the holidays.

folks love trash quality videos on their phone so they are more than happy with these trash thick bezel TVs that cost $280 for a 50in

Ultimately, quality across the board does matter so spend the damn money on a great TV, modem, streaming device, etc

8k and up are not useless, especially when you get into the bigger projectors and screens.

How so? You're just a moron online talking shyt. We could have settled this already by you naming the content that wowed you. Not a single movie named because anyone could cross reference that to see if it's regarded as a great 4k title (you know, like the greatest showman which i bought fir $30 because i wanted to wow my bytch :facepalm:) the only answer you provided was world cup 2016 via bbc iplayer. Im guessing you hoped i wouldn't do the 15sec research to see if you're telling the truth or not.

No 4k bbc iplayer world cup in 2016 :ufdup:
BBC iPlayer 4k support in time for the World cup? - Page 34 - Sony

That link is nikkaz asking if it'll be up in time for world cup 2018, why the fukk are you here lying your ass off for?
See, these nikkaz routinely lie to justify their purchases. It's weird, but it is what it is...

That sounds good in theory but the problem here is your understanding is based on the lies they sell you. Let me demonstrate. A big screen like imax right?

But IMAX is two 2k screen put together. Yes, imax ain't even 4k. So I'm conclusion, no sir, not even a little bit, listen to lyrics i spit :takedat:

I can tell you what NOT to buy better than what you should get. Not because of ignorance to the subject matter but because the 4k market is unstable. Prices dropped quickly and while most people haven't made the upgrade they already trying to push 8k.

What you want is a 4ktv with variable refresh rates which the majority of models that will release for now on will have (vrr). Oled aka 4k-plasma is inferior and more expensive than the new standard which will be mini/micro LEDs. All of that stuff lands this year, which TVs will feature what isn't entirely known but ces2020 just wrapped up and you can YouTube to see all the latest sets. I personally will wait for about 12-14 months before looking for a deal on a decent 2nd gen television with vrr :francis:

I'm still holding off for a big TV too. 4K is nice but nothing has grabbed me yet. Almost 11 years since my last TV that I'm still using now at 1080p. To me anything would be an upgrade but money isn't an issue.:jbhmm:


I'm just gonna wait until the UEFA Euros this summer before I cop something:whew:

You not missing much right now, 4k isn't a jump in quality like it was moving to HD. The HDR is excellent when it's used properly but most things (not all) be it movies or gaming isn't taking advantage of HDR yet. They even have fake HDR. I expect the next gen to really use HDR in ways that'll make it a must have. Right now it's pretty hit or miss.

Disney+ has a lot of 4k content when you do decide to make that splurge
