      TV and movies I’m totally good with 1080p. If I want a cinematic experience, that’s what the cinema is for.

      But since switching to PC and gaming in 4k everywhere I can, it feels like a night and day difference to play in 1080p. Granted that means I care about monitor resolution rather than TV resolution.

      But as an aside, as a software engineer that works from home, crisp text, decent color spectrum support, good brightness in a bright room, all things that make your day a whole lot better when you stare at a computer screen for a large chunk of your day

      I run a Plex server with really high quality 1080p and I’m completely satisfied with it. I don’t see a reason to use the extra storage on 4k

      Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.

      I’m content with 480. High quality isn’t important for me. I still listen to mp3’s that I got 25+ years ago.
