Hi, I have a question that's been bothering me for a couple of months now. I have done some research already but I don't really know what to look for when It comes to displays other than a high refresh rate and high enough resolutions. So I have come to my favorite community for help.
I am looking for a 4K display at around 38-43 inches for my bedroom setup. The TV will be around 8 feet from my face at most times and I am planning on using it for mostly PS4 content and the new 4K Netflix streaming (if my internet connection can handle it).
I already know what your saying; "The PS4 can't output games in 4K! Only a powerhouse PC can do anything in 4K right now!" and " At 8 feet and 40 inches you wont see the difference between 4K and 1080p anyway". I already know all of this but still... I just got a new job and would love to treat myself to something nice as well as future proof my tech, as I plan to hold onto this TV for at least 5 years.
I am also considering getting an extremely high end 1080p 40 inch diplay just with some new 2015 features like High Dynamic Range and Local Backighting for improved contrast, but I know that 1080p is quickly on its way out.
So my question is, should I buy High end 1080p or Low end 4K in 2015? Will there be a difference between the two and what would you do in my scenario. If you suggest 4K for me what brand and model would you go with? Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. Thank you for you responses!
Other thoughts:
I plan on Buying on Black Friday or early December 2015
I also should mention I own a gaming PC that I plan to take to collage with me that may be 4k ready soon.
I will be going to college in 2016 and am hoping that this will be my dorm room display
Looking at the difference between 4k and 1080p online is not impressing me, but I have yet to see true 4k in person.
I don't want to spend more than 800 dollars when I do buy this TV
I want a TV from a brand I can trust.
I don't care at all about Smart TV or 3D functionality whatsoever. (I don't know anyone that does)
This is the one I'm looking at now: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V5R8F40/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1USBW267LAYYW&coliid=I1PWDJR7X0ZZ9L&psc=1
