Are you getting new 4k displays for the new consoles? or continue playing at 1080p?

I'll stay 1080p for one or two more years. Every HDMI port on a TV needs to support full HDMI 2.1 at 48Gbps before I think of buying.
Until monitors with hdmi 2.1 are release, I'm sticking with the screens I have at the moment. I'm not too much concerned about the resolution, but really want a 120hz+ screen for the new consoles or gpu.
I've had a 4K TV since 2016. I'm in this cycle of keeping a TV for a year or two, selling it, and then upgrading to whatever the latest model is.
I just upgraded to an 86" 4k with hdmi 2.1 and all the other jazz specific for the new consoles.
I just grabbed a Gigabyte G32QC, and so far at least, I'm VERY happy with it.
32" 1440p @ 165hz w/ HDR400/VRR, and I got a good price on it at $300+ tax. This is like the ideal Series S display. Colors are good at their default, but are really nice with calibration, and I'm pretty picky about that.

Yes, doesn't seem to make sense investing in a next gen console without a 4K TV.
Eyeballing the R635 right now.

I'm sticking with 1080p as long as possible. Hopefully we'll see a lot of games have better performance at that resolution and even if consoles fail to deliever enough performance modes, my PC will still benefit from it.
Do not care at all about resolution until developers start hitting 60fps the majority of the time. I briefly considered going with Series S, but will pick the X in the end, mostly due to storage, disc drive and future proofing, not due to potentially better resolution.

Sticking with my 43" 1080p TV that my dad bought me back in 2015. It's my first and only TV that wasn't an SD CRT. I calibrated it for the best picture and response times, and it works great for watching movies and playing games. Still impressed by it.
There are some 4K HDR TVs in my house, but I don't think they look much better.
Getting a new TV would probably require a new audio receiver or one of those SHARC things. I don't think mine supports HDR, and it definitely doesn't support HDMI 2.1. It does say that it supports 4K, at least.
Anyway, TVs and receivers are expensive. I'd rather put that money into getting a PlayStation 5 to go with the Xbox Series X I pre-ordered. And some games for them.

Just picked up a 4K over the summer. Honestly, I don't care enough about 120hz to upgrade again. 4K/HDR is enough for me.
I don't really care all that much about going up to 4K vs 1080p since I can't really tell a difference. Maybe if I see a comparison on a 4k tv I'd feel differently. I do want a new display for 120 Hz, VRR, OLED, low input lag, and HDR. My current set doesn't have any of those. 4K TVs are the only option if I want those features.

It really shouldn't.
I've been gaming on an LG B7 for 3+ years. It's totally fine.
My X900H arrives next week. I'm ready.
My old Bravia 55HX750 is nearly dead. Caps are leaking, I'm thinking. Lots of input switching issues, random reboots, etc. I'll miss 3DTV, but my hand was forced.

Me too - I'm starting to feel it could probably never release, though. It seems TV sizes are slowly moving upwards, and even 40" slowly being pushed away from the higher-end market by 43" and 48" - just like what happened to the 32" and 37" sizes, I guess. The new LG CX being available in 48" even seems like a "super exclusively smaller-sized option", added this year as a niche experiment, or something.
I would be moving from an old 40" Sharp LE820 with thick bezels myself, though - meaning even the 48" LG CX would have a similar footprint, with these much thinner bezels. (Though the image itself would still be larger, of course.)
3+ years is great and all but it doesn't impress me. A TV as expensive as they run these days should be lasting closer to 10 years. Not to say yours won't, but it seems far too common of an issue for me to be comfortable investing the kind of money they ask for.
I dont plan on getting a console and my 1080p tv still works fine. My pc monitor is 1440p and I dont think Ill upgrade until I get a new vid card which is gonna be many years from now.
I haven't seen much evidence it's common, but you should do what makes you comfortable of course.
I had a 4k tv since the early part of last gen but I did finally switch to OLED, I do regret not going bigger though
I'm still waiting for there to be a good HDMI 2.1 receiver on the market first. I can't upgrade without one.
But why if the extra bandwidth goes unused? As long as it supports all the features needed for 4K, that should be good enough.

The 48 inch OLEDs are basically made from the offcuts of 77'' screens.
