So I'm looking to upgrade my TV. But I'm having a hard time deciding if I should go 4K or not.
My main issue is that I want a true upgrade (Currently have a 55 Inch Samsung). So I don't know If it would be better to go to 4K or to 60 inch 1080p.
First, what does the refresh rate really mean on 4k TVs? I remeber reading that 4k can only be viewed at 30 hertz or fps. Is this still true? Will watching 4K content lock the refresh rate at 30hz?
Second, I've seen on the back of 4K TVs that there's like on hdmi slot labbeled on it 'recommended for 4k" (or close to that), so will this be the only port that can do 4K and/or 4K upscalling? For example, if I have my cable on that hdmi, and my ps4/pc on another, will it only upscale to 4k on just the recommended hdmi port?
Third, how good is 4k upscalling? Would I be able to tell the difference between same content 1080p vs 1080p upscalling. I tried to research this, but haven't found recent definitve answers.
Fourth, people with 4K tvs, how do you like them? Was it worth paying the extra for what you're getting out of it?
I want to prefence this by saying I know that 4K content is almost none existant. My goal is to upgrade my TV. And I want to know if a 4K tv will deliver a better all around picture with 1080p vs a regular 1080p tv. Or should I go for a 1080p with a great display.
So my second part is, if 4K isn't that great with things like refresh rate, 1080p upscalling etc, what is the best 1080p tv screen or brand? I want an amazing looking picture.
Thanks for replies.
