I've never even had 4K. All I have is 1080p and that's fine.
Same. I can't tell a huge difference between 1080p and 4k, if I'm being honest.
Hell, I can’t tell ANY difference (though I do need glasses so maybe that’s got to do with it)
Small print text rendering is where you'll see the difference.
Game graphics, whatever, but if you have to do a lot of reading or coding, you can make the text smaller and still stays crystal clear.
I see, that’s fair, my experience is pretty much just with gaming
haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure you can't tell 8K from 4K anyway
I can tell a difference, but not enough to be worth the cost.
Yeah and once you’re deep into playing… you stop caring about that stuff and focus on the game.
Context matters a lot. On a 27" monitor, it makes a pretty decent difference. On a 50" TV at 10+ ft...meh?
1080 vs 2k is pretty clear to me, but I have a hard time telling the difference between 2k and 4k.
Can you get a 2k tv? I thought we jumped to 4k.
I have a 2k monitor, not a TV
I have a 4k TV, it legitimately is no better than 1080 lmao
There's a very noticeable difference, but it's nothing like the difference between SD and HD. It's pretty, but not that pretty. I prefer the performance (and proper scaling for my computer) of 1080, even on a 55" screen
Could this be a configuration issue? I can't talk out of experience but I'd assume it would be quite a bit better.
Thanks for the info anyway.
P.s. I'm not the person who downvoted you. I don't do that when disagreeing.
