Expensive 1080p VS Cheap 4k: Can You Tell The Difference?

Is it worth geting 43 inch 4k tv?

If your tv has better frame rate than your eyes (30-60 fps) then everything outside will look boring

This is not a one to one ratio and I'm sick of people saying it is look as someone that has played on a 60 Hz monitor at 120 FPS. I know the difference between playing at 100 FPS and then turning v-sync on and playing at 60fps. The fact that I can notice the difference just proves this one to one ratio is b***** On top of that 244Hz monitor and 144Hz monitor and no difference at least in terms of what you can actually humanly perceive I know this because my brother got a 240Hz monitor and I thought it would be funny to set it to 144 Hertz and that guy didn't even notice after years and I'm pretty sure he's still has it set to that setting because he just couldn't even tell her it changed it

I play on Xbox Series X on 42" 1080p 60hz TV not a smart TV tho in my bedroom and it perfectly fine

Absolutely! There's no problem with keeping your 1080p TV or monitor for another 12 years if it still meets your needs. While technology continues to advance, and higher resolutions like 4K and even 8K become more common, it doesn't mean that your current setup is obsolete.

1080p resolution is still widely supported and offers a good level of image quality for most viewing purposes. As long as you're satisfied with the picture quality, there's no rush to upgrade to a higher-resolution screen if you don't feel the need. Many people continue to use and enjoy their 1080p displays without any issues.

It's always a good idea to consider factors like your personal preferences, budget, and the intended use of the TV or monitor. As long as your current equipment is still functioning well and meets your needs, there's no urgency to upgrade. Just make sure to maintain it properly, keep it clean, and enjoy your viewing experience to the fullest!

50 inch and above 4k, below 1080p is good enough

Ps5 and 1080p tv in my case. FPS crew for life♥️ 30fps is for losers, its a slideshow at that point. Buy and buzz of all of you 4k fanboys

Anyone still worshipping on the Altar of 1080p, needs to not talk... 1440p on a 27 inch monitor is clearly the sweet spot right now.
Discussion that attempts to defend the outdated garbage of 1080p, is absurd and slightly amusing.

This was really helpful! I was real tempted to use the credit card on a 43" 4k tv, my living room is small. This nuanced video saved me over 600 bucks.

We're running the 8K VLOC system in our home, so 4K is sooo yesterday.

There is no such thing like expensive 1080 or cheap 4k.🤣 The trick it's that everything in 4k being transferred trough a 1080p port will look 10 times better, especially if the ports are HDMI 2.1 and we talk about next gen consoles.

Hehe... trying to watch the comparison on my (misled as 1080) 720p TV is funny. They both look terrible to me!

I got to see a football game in a modest sized room on a 65" 1080p. Coulda used a 4K there. Room and TV size matter.

1440 Just entered the chat...

No I will not do 4K TV I'm staying with my 1080p TV with the 1080p Blu-ray and the PS4 and not upgraded to 4K TV

I play on 720p sony bravia tv🤣

I’m using a 50 inch 1080p monitor and upscaled my games using NVIDIA DSR , does the job perfectly. No need for 4K tv.

Biggest problem now is where do you find a Full HD TV with a screen bigger than 43 inches? They're nowhere to be found or purchased. I still watch on a 50in Full HD LG with True Motion 120 but still it's jittery and jaggy as hell. I'd buy a 60 or 65 full HD is they built one. Fortunately I'm no gamer so I'm not bothered by the woes of gaming on a 4K TV.

When playing a blu-ray film such as Lord of the Rings on my Panasonic Viera 1080p plasma TV and playing that same blu-ray on my Bang & Olufsen B&O BeoVision Eclipse 65" 4k UHD OLED using the same blu-ray player, I can honestly say even after trying all the setting and variations that the Panasonic Viera plasma TV wins hands down. The darker area is more detailed and discernable, being a touch more natural in the overall picture, the colours are far more intense, and the quality of the film really stand out more. Even when playing first-class 4K transfer on the 4K B&O it only wins the plasma by slim margins such as overall vibrancy and purity and depth and intensity of colour as well as being a bit sharper in picture compared to a blu-ray on the plasma.

Up close the 4K wins hands down, compared to the plasma which you really have to watch at a distance. Between most cheap and expensive 4K TVs I do not notice that much between them with the newset models as I type, but I bought the B&O because they are so well built and have a reputation as being the best. Cheaper models tend to break easier and are not as durable.

It is a shame that you cannot buy a 4K plasma TV. The picture on that would beat any LED, as LED TVs were always a cheaper alternative, certainly no way near as good as plasma. Any alternative for potential buyers is a 4K projector, they look fantastic and you can put them right up near the screen, the advance technology is from the projectors used in cinemas and the picture is intense, the colours are warmer as is the picture compared to plasma and LED, plus the picture movement looks the same as being at the cinema. The best experience for any fan wanting to watch the films as itended, it is just not quite the same on a TV.

For 15 years I had a full HD Rear Projection TV which gave that near as cinematic experience, the picture was just so warm and a touch more natural. They are built like a tank and about as heavy as one. I have a Cabasse 7.2 surround speaker system runnning through a Denon AV receiver on my replacement TVs and I have to say, the built in surround 3D spacious sound in the Rear Projection TV was better, being more wider with a clear defined bass, not the deepest bass but so clear and thunderous at the same time, definitely better than any sound bar, and being tighter in sound than my Cabasse system, and the Cabasse is one of the finest. So rather than coming from all around it spread out from one central area with great effect. The rarity and cost of the replacement bulbs made keeping it a real issue.

If only we could have 4K plasma TVs and 4k Rear Projection TVs, who cares if the Rear Projectors sticks out, minimalism that is the norm now is at the cost of higher-end quality. So you are telling us what new TVs would be best, but I would say my imaginary 4K plasma and 4K Rear Projection would just beat any of those models hands down, although my B&O beats any other 4K LED. I wish you have more types of TVs to compare that use different technologies.
