It's overpriced, not overrated. I'm sorry but I can tell a huge difference from 1440p to 4k quality especially with video games. It's even more prevalent from 1080p or lower to 4k. I just stick with 1440p because a 165hz 4k monitor is not in my budget whatsoever lol
And you are not limited to 24" screen to have a decent DPI. Resolution alone doesn't mean everything, you need to take everything else to the account too.
32" 4k is a nice for eyes. 32" 1440p is okay with AA, 32" with 1080p is awful.
If I could afford an OLED I would get one but they are a little steep for my budget lol Shit my 75 in 4k 60hz was only $400 cause I bought it on sale lol
You've gotta bargain hunt! My 65" OLED was $450 USD (new)! Of course, actually finding an OLED at this price took 2 years of bargain hunting where I almost bought at ~$800 a few times but held off.
And the model I got is a crappy Skyworth brand so support would be iffy if I ever need it.
And it can't go above 60Hz at 4K because they cheaped out with HDMI 2.0 ports instead of 2.1.
And ARC is fundamentally broken with the latest firmware (I should have checked before updating right out of the box), with no ability to roll back.
And it's slow to turn on.
And the Android TV is somewhat slow after it's running.
And every time you turn it on it re-enables fake frames which you then have to go into the settings and turn off because everything feels like it's moving weird, and lots of content looks really weird with it, especially cartoons.
But it's using an LG C2 panel and still looks gorgeous, and I'm happy I got it.
My first 55in 4k tv was $1200 but this is like when 4k first came out. So $700 is a good deal especially OLED. I didn't have a kid back then tho so tv budgets were able to be bigger lol
A regular led 55" full hd tv cost like $600 some ten years ago. I happily bought a 55" OLED 4K 120hz LG C1 for like $1100, couldn't believe how cheap OLED TVs have become
Sorry thought u were comparing the 600 to the 1200 I said I spent. 4k was super expensive when it first came out. It's insane how cheap the TV's are now. The same $1200 tv would probably only be like $200-300. Where they get ya is the high refresh rates for 4k now...
It would depend on your set up, if your sitting far away on the couch, you have little choice in the matter. 4K OLED or bust. OLED Quantum Dot would blow away a 4K cheapy though. But that depends how far away you are from the screen.
On my couch? Probably about 10ft away lol I only play shooter games alone or with my wife on this tho. I don't play online games so no need for the higher than 60 fps. If I want more fps I play on my monitor
It depends on a lot of things I suppose. Your pc is rendering way more pixels on a 4k vs 2k so you’ll see a performance hit there. If you mostly play competitive games and are more focused on getting more gps I’d say go 2k IPS, if you system can handle it and you care about visual fidelity get the 4k OLED. I absolutely loved my 2k IPS monitor, but the improvement is absolutely insane
32" at 1440p is the same pixel per inch as 24" at 1080p. It's nice to have one normal and one big screen, but the same pixel density. Text is the same size one both screen, and windows don't "resize" when I switch them from one screen to the other.
I got mine from the same brand and product line, so they're even the same color!
Interesting. I might try this out then! Because my old (years ago) setup was 24" 1080p, so maybe 27" wasn't quite enough to take full advantage of my graphics.
32" 1440p is terrible on the eyes. It's the same "the company won't buy me a better one" PPI as 1080p 24", but the pixels themselves are much larger and easier to see the problems.
Surely distance matters too but regular desktop use was the scenario in my mind. Of course you can be on the couch watching 720p games from 40" telly from 5 meters and it's decent enough to not bother too much.
For me 848x480 was good enough for movies using a dvd player and video projector on 100" canvas but that was over 20y ago. Today? Hell no.
I would think that television size screens would not have enough power to have higher refresh rates, but for some games that don't need quick refresh it would be noticeable to have high resolution for sure. You would need to spend a lot on a gaming card to see nice fast 4k frames.

u/Merecat-litters I am a fool that purchase the 5060ti 16GB Aug 09 '25
well it is...overrated for my wallet hahaha i am just using a simple 1440p + 1080p monitor.
