Do you still use 1080P TV? Why haven't you upgraded to 4K?
Do you still use 1080P TV? Why haven't you upgraded to 4K?
Bought my current 46" TV during a sale prior to the 2011 Super Bowl. It has gone from Georgia to Alaska to Colorado and back to Georgia. Still works fine. I don't see any reason to get rid of it. Grew up with the TVs of the 1980s so even 1080p looks amazing to me. I'll keep it until it doesn't turn on anymore and then I'll get a new one. Why waste the money?
Depends on how big your TV is and how small a room you are viewing it in.
I would say for 99% of cases there is no difference. But TVs tend to be mass produced in whatever the next great tech is.
Ever try to buy a regular TV not s smart TV? It's nearly impossible. Everything is 4K now.

TV? Okay, boomer.
For the record I have two Fire TVs, one 50in and the other 55 and a 55in Samsung Smart TV.
Alan
All 4K.
Brojos we need an edit button! It's not 1999 anymore!

Do you still watch TV??
I have a 4K TV, but most of my content is 1080p or lower - and the difference isn't really missed.

I think that's the issue most people don't realize. Just because you have 4K resolution it doesn't mean you are watching in 4K resolution. Content determines highest available resolution.

4k will soon be kaput. Try a real man TV with 8k and 3D display with an ATMOS 7.1 speaker set-up.

Youtube has been streaming 8k videos for more than a year. Everything moves forward. If you can afford the price, buy one step up so as not to be outdated in a few years.

I had an iPhone 6 up until 3mo ago. Now still only have an SE :)

Im waiting for 8K to drop to $1000.00.

I don't know if I still use 1080P TV?
If I haven't upgraded to 4K, it's because I neither know nor care about the difference.
Everything is 4K now but you have to sit pretty close to the TV to really make the most of the increased res.
If you get a 65" 4K tv and sit more than 8.5 feet away, it looks exactly the same
8K is completely pointless unless you have a gigantic home theater.

Lol with 7.1
It isn’t real atmos unless it is 7.1.x
Ideally 7.2.4.
But to the topic I recently upgraded, don’t notice much if a difference. But went bigger at the same time, which is the real benefit.

I don't feel the need to. My current tv is fine. I can't recall ever watching on this tv and thinking 'wow, i wish this were sharper/clearer.'
Pretty sure the improvements from here on are just minute.

Because a TV isn't very important to my life. My my current one dies, I'll get a good replacement.

Again, many factors effect resolution. For streamed content, Netflix, Youtube, Peacock, etc. dynamically adjust resolution based on buffer lag .
True 8K streaming requires 200-300 Mbps sustained throughput with modest latency - which can be difficult to achieve even if your subscribed service is rated higher - hop paths are not consistent or reliable, even with quality internet service at source and destination.
These feature distinctions are primarily marketing-driven. People think 8K must be twice as good as 4K - and will pay more - or replace their TV sooner.
At about 5 feet or more viewing distance, someone with 20/20 vision wouldn't be able to distinguish pixelation between 4K and 8K displays, even for larger >=72" models.

Pretty much this. I just turned 40 - none of my friends own TVs. Ask a 25 year-old the same question….likely response, “what’s a tv?”
