Will you have a 4k HDR tv by the time next gen consoles launch?

I'm in a pickle (not really, I don't have a job soooooo)
I have a 4k TV. A late 2015 "Top of the Line" 65" LG with 3-D (yup) but no HDR. HDR seemingly became a thing the following year. So I have a 60hz TV w/o HDR going into a generation that favours higher frame-rate and HDR.
I'm incentivized to just wait until I can upgrade everything at this point, and even then it's getting rid of a perfectly capable TV for very little reason.

4k yes, HDR no. The standard wasn't settled at the time I got mine (Still isn't to some extent), so I didn't spend the several extra hundreds of dollars it would have taken to future proof that. Given that VRR and and high refresh rates are now a thing for TVs, I'll be waiting until the 2.1 features become more standardized before picking up a new 4k TV with good HDR (And those features). Spending $1k+ on a TV has just never sat right with me anyway.
I wouldn't be drawing that conclusion just yet. Let's wait and see what games look like in a year. I have real doubts that 60+ refresh rates are going to be a common occurrence, and HDR has been case by case since last gen.

The most frustrating thing.
2.1 needs to become more standardised too, yeah. Going to wait a 1-2 years before fully upgrading to a nice TV
I am getting the Xbox Series X and will proudly be rocking a 1080p TV. I am still going off the visual high of going from a CRT to a full HD TV so I don't think I will need a 4k TV for at least a few more years. Not that I could ever afford a good one of course.
I feel so pressured to get one because it seems like everyone and their dog keep shouting about how amazing 4k tv's are and how 1080p users are losers lol. I can never afford a tv that will optimally take advantage of next gen hardware so I have learned to live with less. 1080p TV owner forever and proud!

i'm fine with my relatively decent 1080 goofball tv. it's big and there's minimal lag and it still works.
whenever it dies, i'll get that 4k

That is.... a lot of LG OLEDs here lol... we better be ready to make some noise if LG fucks something up when it comes to compatibility with upcoming consoles.
1080p users might have a last laugh after all.... literally every game will be downsampling from higher resolution and it will look incredible even on a 1080p display. Also probably perfect for upcoming modes with ray-tracing eye candy.
Don't worry about it.

I've still got a 49" Samsung KS7000, had it for nearly 4 years now but I plan on keeping it for foreseeable future.
Has anybody upgraded to an OLED from a KS series and how much of an upgrade was it?

I currently have a very middle of the range LG 1080P TV from probably 2016 that has suited me fine.
I'm not looking at this in 49 inches as an upgrade: https://www.lg.com/ca_en/tvs/lg-49NANO85UNA
I don't have the money or space (49 inches is the absolute max for my current room) for an OLED, as much as I'd like one. One can go mad trying to find the "perfect" TV, but I think I'll just get one that counts as a nice upgrade to me personally.

The VRR stuff is likely more important, you're right.
it's VRR>HDR>120 for me, but all that at 75" <$1000 CAD (unless my tv actually breaks)
I've received mine yesterday, it's a damn fine choice if I may say so.
You're criteria is the same as mine... and i bought that exact TV at the same size last week. It's amazing trust me!
I have a really good 49" Samsung 4K tele but I would really love a screen in the 30-40" range to be honest.
I really hope LG and Samsung start to put their top tech into smaller screen sizes. Especially as more people will want to move to 4K with the Series X|S and PS5.
There's a very slim chance of it happening though I'd imagine but not everybody has room for the bigger screens.

same except I have the KS8000, I hope to not have to upgrade for another year or two still
I don't have one yet, but I plan on picking up a Sony x900h prior to the consoles releases. Oddly enough the trickier thing is finding a selection of HDMI 2.1 cables; at least ones that are in-wall rate.
Yeah I do play 2k. There is a very noticeable difference between my B6 and my CX. On my B6 I'd play on my PC monitor the input lag was that noticeable.
Until there are decent 4k HDR TVs under 500 bucks I can't see me buying one for myself with how little use it would get as I'm primarily playing at a desk on my PC.
Why is there no option for 'maybe'?
I'm looking into upgrading to a 4K TV, but I dunno if I'll have one for launch. Hell, I don't even know when I'll have a PS5.

Nope. I'm a bit conflicted because we have an old 1080p TV in the living room while I use a 1080p projector in the basement. Ideally, I'll get a 4k projector but they're too pricey at the moment. I can get a 4k tv instead but that would have to go in the living room.
Currently 10'
To put it in perspective, I used to move to about 5-6' away to play COD and feel like I was not at a disadvantage. now I might lean forward on occasion, about 9', but that is more focusing and not because I can't make something out well.
I've got a 75inch TCL 4k HDR set where I setup my Xbox Series X. Once I configured the HDR I found it had a bit of a delay. Making games unplayable.
So disappointed. Had to disable HDR gaming until I get a new TV. Which likely won't be for along time. Games still look fantastic. But nowhere near their potential without the HDR, 120hz etc. options available to me.
