Hi guys,
I'm currently running a 42" Panasonic Plasma that's around 6 years old, it's served me really well, but I've got the upgrade bug (much to the wife's annoyance!)
I'm looking around and hoping to pick up a deal in the Black Fridays sales, but I just wondered if you think I would be mad to buy another 1080p TV now rather than a 4K?
The reason I'm thinking of holding off from a 4K is that I use the TV for PS4, Apple TV streaming, FreeSat and BT Sport via AirPlay. So all content is 1080p max, I have no interest in paying extra monthly payments for 4K from Netflix/BT/Sky etc.
So although I know 4K is coming, I can't see me adopting it anytime soon even if I have a 4K TV.
So when looking for a new TV, all the best deals seem to be with 4K sets, but some of the feedback from the forums seems to suggest that SD and gaming content is looking worse due to the upscaling.
So I'm more inclined to just grab a 1080p set, but something is making me think it's not the best thing to do?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Cheers,
Paul.
