Retarded question. - GoFuckYourself.com

Sid70 · 10-18-2016, 06:11 AM

I'm completely retarded tech wise, but even for me it's time to upgrade a TV.
What do you think about 48" UHD 4k Samsung TV set? Dafuck I need 4k for? Are there
4k Blueray videos? I heard upcoming PS4 version is gonna support 4k too.
Except that, if I only have HD TV channels, will that be ok watching on a fucking huge resolution of 3000 something?

Geek opinions please.

Thanks.

there is very limited 4k content out there and even still, who needs all that resolution anyways? I'm sure a regular 1080p tv will satisfy 99% of people.

What he said. I got a large 4K about 2 years ago, and due to the lack of content I can count on one hand the amount of times I have sat and watched it in 4K

Mind you, HD looks beautiful

there are no retarded questions just retarded people.

get OLED TV 1080p will work too.,
dont have to spend extra for 4k.
but if you are gonna stick to new tv for some long time, then why not get 4k ?
personally i liked to be prepared in case channels start broadcasting in 4k.

That's right!

And also Bell Fibe (Canada) now offers 4k content as well.

Here's what I suggest:

If you need a smaller TV, say, 42" or less, go with HD. It's much cheaper and looks great.

But if you need a bigger TV, go for 4k. You need more resolution in larger TV's because without it, the pixels that make up the image are much larger, making large TV's look bad unless you are the minimum optimal distance away from it.

There's more to 4K TV's than pixel resolution. They also have improved color resolution, improved time resolution, and all kinds of other things

What you really want is 4K HDR. You pay only a little more for HDR but its really worth it. Pair this with a modern 4k/HDR blu ray player, throw on your favourite movie and you'll never leave your home theatre again.

Hey! Mark, now we're in the opinion thread again. Time to start a vlog / blog, Opinions Exchange or sort of

Anyhow, here's the deal, it's for a large room, I just checked my 40" TV in there - nah, too small, I don't wanna go with 55", but 48" seems like a right fit.

Content wise, I'm in Europe, we have tons of chanels I NEVER watch, so it's dedicated mostly for kids ( HD TV ), couple sport channels and travel channel I watch + new upcoming PS4 kids want on Xmas.

With that said, do you think new games for PS4 would look amazing in 4k?
Well, I, myself, think 1920 (FHD) is fine.

Yeah, i do change tvs like my cars, once in 10 years or so

48-50" is a must for a room where it has to go, 48 OLED would be expensive I guess . . . Let me check.

poncabare · 10-18-2016, 08:11 AM

vizio has a 65 inch 4k that doesnt break the bank

Google Expert · 10-18-2016, 08:15 AM

all modern TVs are 4k now, they don't make FullHD anymore

there is no torrented 4k content because pirates haven't been able to crack UHD discs yet

there is some 4k content streamed by Netflix (mainly TV shows)

I assume FHD film / program wont look bad on a UHD, correct?

TheDA · 10-18-2016, 08:57 AM

I'd go with 4K. If you get one that has upscaling(I think most do) even your HD content will have more pop.

Netflix and Amazon have a load of 4K content and Sky UK are now gearing up to broadcast in 4K also. Depending on your interests there may be a lot of 4K content on YouTube and Vimeo also. For broadcast 4K you are going to need a decent broadband connection. 20Mbps or higher probably.

Film studios are releasing more and more 4K content as well now, 3 or more releases per month.

One other thing, you probably don't want to go any lower than 48".

This is what's been shaping up it seems. I have 120MB down, will that handle 4k Netflix / Youtube?

TheDA · 10-18-2016, 09:07 AM

Yes 120Mbps is more than enough. I have 50Mbps on one of my set-up and that handles 4K fine.
