Do you need 4 k ? Not unless you have a PC rig capable of gaming it . Not unless you have 4 k movies or subscriptions that allow 4 k streaming . Claims that consoles will play at 4 k is a pure joke . 4 k textures , sure , but not 4 k resolution . Or 4 k resolution with shit textures . I just bought a new TV 2 days ago , happened to be 4 K , but I plan on taking advantage of it , plus it future proofs it . Bottom line , 2160 p vs 1080 p is more of a preference . Not generally a huge price difference anymore between 1080 and entry level 2160 . <| sep |> Being paid by the party , who are in turn paid by the tax payers and foreign businesses <| sep |> Eventually you reach a point where having most of your hair is the best case scenario !
