I got a 55 inch lg 4k...and there's a huge difference in graphics.

I'd say go ahead and buy it but remember X1 and PS4 don't support it yet they will by the end of this year only problem is you're going to have to purchase a new console for it to work. It's not going to be a simple update it's a hardware upgrade so if you want to run 4k expect to spend some more money. And for those that are going to cry about spending money you shouldn't be gaming if you can't afford it you should get your life together and better youself first.

Haha most "next gen" games are less than 1080p native. It feels more like an upgrade from last gen. Not really that much of a difference compared to the jump from ps1 to ps2. Or ps2 to ps3. I guess consoles will die out soon. Might as well buy a gaming PC.

[quote]You are not wrong, but a 4k display will upscale a 1080p image and make it look better than it would on a 1080p TV. [/quote] Even though the 4k resolution has four times as many pixels, a few factors are currently limiting the appeal of buying a new 4k TV: Our limited visual acuity Low availability of 4k sources Upscaling 1080p to 4k doesn't really improve the picture quality You're doing this to our pixels This is an example of what a 1080 pixel looks like normally 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3x3 Up scaling adds fluff to fill in the screen like this 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 4x4 except the I isnt a real pixel. This causes a lot of blur in your image.

It took awhile to go from 4:3 ratio to 16:9. Very few sources provide 4k content. Currently, it is only available on some titles on Netflix, Youtube or Sony's Video Unlimited. The quality of 4k streaming is even less than 1080p Blu-rays! For the same quality per pixel as Blu-rays, 4k necessitates 100 Mbps, which is far more than the average broadband bandwidth in the US. Most TV shows are still only recorded and edited in 1080p. Only movies are commonly made in 4k. It will take a few years for production companies to upgrade their pipelines. Please do some research before you listen to the salesman at the store.

I have a 4k TV. Xb1 still displays in 1080p. Heard it will support 4k but it doesn't yet.

Don't get it!!! Not yet!! There is no content available , and the stuff that is is super super limited. Trust me it's a waste. Wait till they switch over to with DVDs at least.

I uses a 240hz 1080p led. Personally, I prefer higher refresh rate to higher resolution since there is no 4k content. So, my 1080p 240hz looks better than a 4k 120hz for video games.

WOW! All these people on this thread that dont have a clue about 4K! i have a samsung 55" 4k ULED Curved TV. XBOX one DOES have the capability of running in 4K. The down side is that there are no games developed to run in 4K. We will see the first games unveiled at E3 this year.

Xbox One and PS4 have a max resolution of 1080p at 60 FPS. That's what those consoles can perform at, however, games are also limited, such as some games can only be played at a max of 720p at 30 FPS. That means, even on a 4k TV, you'll still have the visual display equal to that displayed on a 1080p HDTV, as that's the maximum the Xbox One and PS4 can perform at. Buying a 4k TV solely for gaming is a complete waste of money as it would not outperform a 1080p TV. Furthermore, resolution is NOT the main quality to a TV for gaming, it is infact far from the most crucial component. What really matters to gaming is the refresh rates of the television. Take a Plasma TV vs a LED HDTV. The LED HDTV can have 1080p resolution, however, it's refresh rate could be around 60-120hz, which is the average range of HDTVs. Higher quality ones can top out at 240hz, but very few HDTV out there actually do 240hz. The Plasma TV on the other hand may only top out at 720p, but it's refresh rate would be an astronomical 600+ hz. That means the best HDTV out there is refreshing it's image 240 times per second, where as the average Plasma TV is refreshing it's image 600 times every second. With more refresh rates, you get less motion blur, such as spinning rapidly in a game, the images become a bit blurry around your characters figure. With higher refresh rates, you lessen the blur effect, allowing a higher visual quality. So as far as televisions go, if you want detail for graphics, resolution is the way to go. However, if you're a big time gamer and fan of sports or anything that has A LOT of motion, you want higher refresh rates over resolution. For instance, I'm huge into soccer and gaming, so I made sure that the HDTV I bought had the highest refresh rate of any HDTV out there. That means my simple 1080p LED HDTV would be a much more enjoyable television for gaming than a 4k TV with a measly 120hz refresh rate. However, most standard 4k TV come with 240hz, so they aren't bad either for gaming. You simply will not notice a difference between a 4k vs a 1080p aside from a larger chunk of cash missing from your bank.

4k is a waste on anything but a gaming pc right now. Current get consoles can only upscale 1080p to 4k. Its not true 4k so i don't see the point in paying top dollar for a 4k setup when my tvs main use is my ps4 or xbox one. Maybe next year when the consoles get a hardware refresh ill upgrade to a new ps4 or xbone

There will be no difference I have a 4k and It looks great but it's not in 4k rumor has the next gen consoles are going to be re released in 4k this fall

BluRays do not deliver movies in 4K resolution (yet). Max output of PS4 is 1080p. Max output of Xbone is 1080p. Television broadcasts do not deliver in 4K resolution (yet). Why buy a technology that is not supported by the masses pushing content to said device? You pay a high cost for new technology that you can't take advantage of at the moment. Doesn't make sense to me. Until they start pushing out media content in 4K there is no point. And by the time they do start pushing 4K content the prices will have dramatically dropped for 4K TVs.

I have a LG 47 in 1080P 240hz tv that I used to play video games on. Then I got a Samsung 60in 4k curved tv. By turning on game mode it does lower the graphics a little to keep the refresh rate up, but it does upscale. It is crisper. These people who are saying it isn't worth it, don't know because they don't have one. I calibrated the tv and I don't care what anyone says. It looks better. ALOT better. This tv does a spectacular job at upscaling. Side by Side there is a noticeable difference in my LG to this Samsung.
