I don't even want 4K. 1080p is more than good enough.
I also see no use, but I also stuck to 1024 far too long (also because that thing just kept working)
You may not want 4K but I bet your ass wants a OLED TV because those are fucking amazing and I would be concerned if youdidn’t want one
Even my smartphone doesn't have OLED display.
If I was in the market for a new TV I'd probably go for an OLED assuming image burn-in is no longer an issue with them, but I'll happily use my 15 year old LED TV for as long as it lasts. I can tell the difference in contrast when side by side with LED/LCD but in normal daily use I don't pay any attention to it.
I've still got the last good plasma TV. Power usage is horrible but the picture is great.
I also think that 1080 is fine for normal living room distance. In my case, though, I use a 42" 4K as a monitor, where I have the equivalent of 4 1080 monitors. No gaming, but for my use it's more practical than multiple monitors.
It's only the equivalent of you don't use any scaling, do you?
I wish my eyesight was so good that I could see obvious flaws in a 4k image.
