1080p for now. When I can get a hold of a 3080 I'll upgrade to one of the nice LG oleds with gsync.

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

Picked up a Predator X27 despite the talk about HDMI 2.1. I understand DP 1.4 is already better than current HDMI, but can someone elaborate on what happens when a new DP cable is released? Are current 4K monitors "future-proof" with DP, or will that change as well?
Still on my 1080p Sony Bravia 55 inch. No 4K or HDR.
Its wallmounted so getting a new telly is just a logistical nightmare unless I cover the mounts up or they just happen to work with the new panel. Ugh.

I'll probably stick with my 1080p set until it breaks down. I only really value low input lag; I don't care that much about other display metrics.
Grabbed a Bravia X900H at the start of the Summer. Fantastic all around gaming TV. Outside of great 4K/HDR performance for games & movies, its excellent upscaling has been a huge boon for One S BC & Switch games, and the Android OS gives me easy access to all the apps I could ever need, including GeForce Now (xCloud and Stadia too down the line). Got both consoles pre-ordered and couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Wow - that is certainly something I wouldn't have stumbled across otherwise! I love videos that explain details like that. Hadn't struck me it was of course based on "wafer-cutting" production efficiency. So, I guess for 40" to ever exist would similarly depend on that fitting into any larger-sized sheets entering production.
I'm not sure this makes sense to me. If that's true, they're saying the number of 48" TVs produced is going to be equal to the number of the 77" TVs at a 1:1 ratio. That seems unwise to manufacture at that rate given that I have to imagine that the 48" version is going to move more numbers than the 77" version. It wouldn't make sense to have to manufacture them at a 1:1 ratio.
I'll get a 4K TV when burn in is no longer a thing (and the price is reasonable). I've decided I just can't stand worrying about it anymore. I have a really nice 1080p plasma, but I'm constantly worrying about burn in (and to be fair, my bad habits are what justify this fear). I panic over image retention, and I'm just sick of it.
And before anyone says it: no, "basically" solved is not good enough.

I didn't realize the Demon's Souls remake is going to be on the PS4/PS4 Pro.
You could still get a nice normal LED and not have to worry about OLED burn in.
I run on a 1440P monitor (Samsung CHG70 27"), but it does accept a 4K signal and downscales it, so it all works out.
Already have a 4k. LG Oled B7. Me and the GF might pick up the CX today for 1499 at best buy. We are still deciding. We would move the B7 from the living to the bedroom and replace it with the CX.
Same here. LG CX 55. Once I get my RTX 3080, I'm set for all of next gen basically.
I already have a 4k monitor, but it doesn't support HDMI 2.1, only Displayport 1.4. So I might still upgrade at some point...
I completely understand the economic realities of sticking with a perfectly good display. If you're happy with what you have or don't have other options then there's nothing wrong with 1080p.
That said, I see a lot of folks who say they're on smaller displays, or are older (like me!) with imperfect vision, saying that the resolution gain just doesn't make a difference for them. I get it. It's definitely subtle. What isn't so subtle are the other changes that come along with the UHD specification. Be sure not to ignore the benefits of Wide Color Gamut and High Dynamic Range. HDR gets mentioned quite a bit, but the increased color space of WCG doesn't get nearly enough credit for being an important step forward. These two make a much bigger difference for me than the raw improvement in resolution.

It seems much harder to get a 120hz display if you want to keep a 43 inch formfactor. I may just get the 48 inch CX and bite the bullet on moving shit around. The only thing is I want a TV with google(crunchyroll) interface and Sony seems to be the only one with it and I don't want Roku.
I'm thinking about getting a CX to replace my B7. I've been using g-sync on pc for a long time and would love to transition that life to console games. Hopefully sell the old tv for a decent amount.
I read in the comments that they could do 32"" with very high usage of the original glass so I'm surprised they haven't made an OLED monitor yet.
Man idk how you read some text sometimes! Some developers make text way too small. Are you on a TV?
I've had a 4K TV since 2015 when I desperately needed a new one. It's only 50 inch, 60 hz but it gets the job done.
I also have a 144hz 1440p monitor, so I'm set on all fronts.

I upgraded to a lg cx 77. Had a Sony 850B 65 in. I wanted to upgrade to a set with hdr and to see what these systems could do early on.
Yeah I am. Can be a nightmare but I rarely play text-heavy games.
I think I'll stick with my 1080p/144hz monitor for now
I'm still living with my parents so when I move to my own place in a year or 2, I'll buy a big ass 4k TV
