I like to be a little closer though. |

Anyway. Personally I like to have multiple monitors, hence they can't really be much bigger than 24", otherwise I'd have to move my head too much or move further away, which again makes a larger screen pointless. Since I'm watching the screen from like 1-2 feet away, judging from that graph 4k should already be noticeable. So I guess I'll get some if they become sufficiently cheap. But then again there would be the problem with running games at my monitor's native resolution, since gaming at that resolution requires A LOT of horse power. So I guess I'll stay on 1080p for another 3-4 years or so. Besides, there's not much 2160p media available yet anyway. |

You either have to sit really close to get the benefit of high resolution and kill your eyes while your at it, or you have to get a super huge television which also isn't worth it. If you want a true high definition immersive experience buy a top of the line project for 3000 to 5000 dollars, you won't be disappointed. Besides companies haven't even perfected 1080p quality, and they are jumping to higher resolution displays because they are easy to market and they know people will buy into it.

Right, things progress way to quickly, but its not the smartest thing to get the latest and greatest thing. People who buy 4k now are gonna regret it 5 years down (unless you are rich). Either way people will eventually experience higher resolutions. Its inevitable. Speaking of Japan. Japan is the most technologically advanced country in the world, but most of there technologies are novelty like. 90% of the stuff that comes out of Japan is just plain pointless technology. While 10% is actually useful, like medical advancements within that 10%. |

| I'm completely fine with just 720p. 1080p is always nice though. I honestly, don't care much about 4k gaming. |
| It all depends on screen pixel density. Playing at a higher resolution of 4k will be worth its price only if one could perceive more visual detail by playing at said resolution, and this applies to hardcore gamers who pay more attention to visual fidelity. The average joe who games occasionally on their console probably wouldn't see the incentive to buy a 4k monitor for pc gaming. Nonetheless, 4K will become a norm in monitors in the next few years as it gets cheaper, regardless of whether it is beneficial or not. |

Smaller file size and barely any difference on my laptop screen either..... well, if there was any difference, I can't see it so there's that too. Well, i've had a 720p tv for idk, 6 years perhaps. I got that when the price was acceptable, i think it was around 500 dollars or so, on todays exchange rate (around 740 at the time). That tv produced a lot of heat, was thick and heavy. So i bought this 1080p smart tv (there was no other choice, they were selling only smart tv). Since im not interested in 3D and stuff. I honestly don't see much difference, but my room got 5-10 celsius colder. XD The same goes for my pc, i can play todays games, but it's already 6 years old, so sometimes i can feel it's age. Not going to upgrade the processor and motherboard until one of them fails. Not that i can upgrade the cpu without the motherboard... Good ol' socket 1366 :/ To be completely honest, the difference might be noticable on a quality movie, but anime is a little different, much less detailed. |
| I have a 4K TV ( ) but I really don't bother streaming in 4K definition though. My internet isnt brilliant, shorter <5minute videos fine but a movie or 20+ minute episode etc would be a nightmare, would have to leave it buffering an hour lol... 1080p is fine for me and I can go for 480p + tbh, most of the anime I watch is 480p quality unless its a BRrip or something |

|
| Kinda pointless right now. It's just way too expensive to be able to run 4k, especially at a playable speed. Consoles are way too weak to handle 4k also, so it won't be hitting mainstream consumers anytime soon. Also, a lot of people really just don't care about it. For most people 1080p is good enough and offers the best quality/performance - price right now. |
| 4k is overkill for me, i'd settle for 1080p if i were to upgrade. i still game with 768p |
| 4K is overkill, you need at least a $3k setup to max out a game like Witcher 3. Though all I really do now is work on fun programming projects, anime and a few JRPGs here and there as they are slowly moving to PC and PS4 so there's no real point. And the amount of native 4K entertainment is way too small so far, old copper networks most countries are still relying on can't handle 4k streaming at a reasonable rate as well. That being said, playing on a six year old 1366x768 52" tv, I can't really notice a difference sitting maybe 4 metres away from the screen anyway. |
 |
| At least I have a computer that can handle it as well as a UHD 55 inch Samsung TV so I am prepared. |
| Its still in the beginner stages but 4K is very noticeable on large TVs. You also have the upscaling feature. With the Neo and Scorpio on the horizon 4k seems pretty legit and its affordable, 4k televisions are cheap. |
| 1920x1080 is too little at sizes above 24 inches, but 4K is too demanding for newer games and apparently causes problems with mice in a lot of programs. You'd need a pretty big screen to appreciate the difference, I imagine. I like the happy middle, 2560x1440. I wish I could rip Blu-rays at that resolution. Well, 4K ripping is already asking for much. Apparently, MakeMKV recognizes 4K discs with my type of Blu-ray drive (WH16NS40), but no one's been able to rip them yet. The files would be huge, though. 4K downscaled to 2560x1440 would save a lot of space. I've tried using compression software before, but it wasn't as simple as I hoped. A big 4K display is something I'd get for viewing my high res pictures and scans, not for playing games. |
| 4k gaming isn't at a place where it is worth investing in. Even the top end card struggle to deliver a consistent 60fps in the newer games on their own. Monitors and TVs are cheap now starting as low as £300 or £400 for a 32"-42" screen. |

Hoppy said: decade? Lol4k won't be a thing in console gaming for a decade or two despite TVs going down in price, it's too expensive and the world isn't entirely ready for the internet speed requirements yet. It's unfeasible to stream 4k on netflix for most people. And to the topic. I love my 3440x1440 Monitor. 1080 is like a ant to me now. |
 |
| I'm not a graphics nut, I haven't really played on 1080p that much. Select PS3 games and maybe some PS4. PC? I've never had a monitor beyond 1440x900. I'm more or less use to 720p. 4K doesn't seem worth it to me nor does 1440p for gaming. If your a graphics nut, then maybe but I personally can't see myself shelling out the cost of my gpu on a higher res monitor. 1080p is just fine. Plus with the higher res comes harder strain on performance, you'll have to upgrade much sooner than someone on 1080p would if you want to keep your 144/120/60fps in new titles overtime. |

| I was fine playing most of the time without even bothering having HDMI, I don't think the difference between 1080p and 4k is enough for me to care about it. |
| I just don't care that much. I can still play PS2 games w/o an issue. What I do care about is fps, though. |
 |
| Too expensive , you need to wait for a few years for its price to decrease and also wait for the gpu/cpu to improve |
 |
| Max I played was 2k but I generally stick to 1080p. My friends told me high res is not good for eyes so m bit scared to try it. But 4k sounds awesome. |
