I even stated that the difference between 1080 and 4K isn't as huge as the marketing suggests and that video sources are so compressed that it doesn't matter much anyway.
The point I was trying to make is that 4K is pretty much the standard for TV's in 2017 and that the OP should future proof his investment by making the jump now. The real bonus is that a current model 4K screen is going to come with a lot of features that will pay off in the years to come as well, such as CEC, HDR, Dolby Vision, etc. |
The chart is stupid. Anyone can walk into a store and immediately see the difference between a 1080p and a 4k screen. It wasn't even close when I was doing my shopping, to the point where you could pick them out long before walking up to the wall. The pixels on a large format 1080p screen are quite large.......I'm talking 65-80" screens where it was most apparent.
