I am jsut curious, because i have a 4KTV in house, and a PC more than capable of playing games on it (1080/I77700k), but i just don't find the difference worth not playing every game at 60fps.. The difference didn't blow me away like moving from 30fps to 60fps.. I don't know, but i only use the TV for 4K Blueray movies, and thats about it.. I much rather 1080p 144fps anyday over 4K 30 with some games doing 60.

Since I learned that the human eye can’t see 4K no

I think that 4K has its place for the home theatre and enthusiast households.

I would never buy one, though. I can't tell the difference past 1440p so in my case buying a 4K TV/Monitor would be pointless.

Don't know about HDR as I've never seen any monitors/TV's that have that feature.

Not really unless you have 4k monitor.
You could always use those slim 1080-1440 monitor though the difference are small.

I would be glad to take 1080 or 1440 anytime instead 4k monitor. Because it's too big.
Multi monitor are more useful for digital art editing than games.

For gaming? No, it's definitely justified but it's too expensive at the moment and I don't think any hardware can completely run native 4k at a steady fps at this time.
I went from 1080p to 1440p and it was night and day, the difference in quality is definitely there as you don't see that blur, objects are more sharp and you can see the stitching in clothing without jaggies.

1440p to 4k is a lot less noticeable unless you're playing a game that uses a lot of particles effects such as Uncharted 3 and 4, The Division etc not to mention a lot of games aren't exactly taking advantage of 4k as of yet hence the reason "PSPRO ENHANCED" exists.

I have the Samsung UE43KS7590 Curved and the difference is more than insane. HDR is so mindblowing, Horizon Zero Dawn was by far the most beautiful game i've seen at this point. Also watching AP/Netflix fully in 4K is a nice experience.

4K/SDR? Meh. 4K/HDR. Mindblowing. Horizon Zero Dawn absolutely blew me away with its amazing use of the two and convinced me that more AAA games need to be that way. Mainstream gaming GPUs will need to become powerful enough to do both while averaging 60fps for 4K/HDR to become the new normal though and I imagine that's a few years away.

I hve seen HDR, and while it looks good, i much rather play at higher fps than 30.. Just my opinion.

Yeah I can agree with you on that. I mean it's cool, but... well basically what a couple others have said. We have the technology but it isn't quite fleshed out enough yet.

I think it is. A friend of mine has a 4K TV, and I can't see much of a difference.

Yes

In it's current state yes, but as the technology improves it'll become a better experience.

Currently 1440p is the high-end sweetspot.

I built my computer to run vr and 4k got a deal on a 4k monitor and have a ryzen 7 1700 cpu Gtx 1080 Gpu 15 GB ram and totally regret going the 4 k route cant run much of anything I play or do at 4k 60 and since I mostly play shooters I would prefer 60 fps at least. so I would agree 4k is overrated.
