Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Never ceases to amaze what I learn beyond retirement related topics here, so why not...
DW has decided we need a bigger TV. Went to buy an HDTV 1080p w 120Hz, and Best Buy was selling a UHDTV 4K w 60Hz for "only" $100 more (same brand, same size), so "we" opted for the latter. Won't receive it until next Mon. But I've been wondering if we made a good decision ever since.
We don't want to get hung up/choose based on specs, but we're struggling with which will simply give us a better viewing experience. From what I gather 4K (even upscaling 1080 content) is sharper with a 4K TV. But higher refresh rates smooth motion/reduce blur (even if the content is shot at lower than 60Hz within reason). So there's a tradeoff between the two options, clearer stills/more blurry motion vs the opposite.
We aren't gamers, but we do watch sports and movies some.
What say ye?
