disappointment

Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest. Similar to regret, it differs in that a person who feels regret focuses primarily on the personal choices that contributed to a poor outcome, while a person feeling disappointment focuses on the outcome itself. It is a source of psychological stress. The study of disappointment—its causes, impact, and the degree to which individual decisions are motivated by a desire to avoid it—is a focus in the field of decision analysis, as disappointment is, along with regret, one of two primary emotions involved in decision-making.

    UHD movie disappointment

    OLED, owned 4 different models. Disappointed.

    Having come from a VT30 of 5 years, earlier this year I decided it was time to dip into the OLED market. Generally I keep a TV for 4 or 5 years before replacing it, or at least that's what I've done with the VT30 and the previous 2 [Panasonic] TVs I've owned. At the time I made the decision...
