  I run a Plex server with really high quality 1080p and I’m completely satisfied with it. I don’t see a reason to use the extra storage on 4k

  TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.

  But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.

  But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day

  Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.

      Me too. I don’t even need 60hz. I get motion sickness if a screen goes over 30hz. I guess I’m officially old.

    I like 4k for documentarys ans cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you’re standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

      Sounds like you have motion smoothing on.

      Resolution alone isn’t enough to fuck that up. I noticed it first when watching The Hobbit in cinemas at 48fps. It makes things that are real look very real, and unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.

        🤣🤣🤣

        Ok, good tip. I’ll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

  Tbh 720p is good enough

  I’m content with 480. High quality isn’t important for me. I still listen to music that I got from Napster.
