I still don’t see a point in 4k on a television. Games look great on my PC in 4k but that’s only because I’m sitting much closer to my monitors. In my living room every time I think about it I try and look for a pixel or fuzziness and I just don’t see it. I won’t be upgrading my TV from hd any time soon…
Edit: wow at the downvoters… people are fragile, that’s for sure
HDR on a proper panel is where the real difference would be for most people.
The pixel density isn’t very noticeable unless a tv is 70 inches or larger (at normal viewing distance).
Pixel quality is often far more important than the Pixel quantity. It’s even more noticeable on physical media since streaming is often pretty compressed, especially when it comes to audio.
It depends on the content too. Most stage shootings such as drama shows are fine in HD. I don’t need to see the actor’s pores. But some nature documentary or a well done effects movie can be gorgeous in 4k with the right TV. But for the 90% of stuff where I’m content toowatch on my phone, definitely didn’t need 4k.
