4K UHD worth it at 9 ft away?
Hi all,
I have a 52" 1080P Samsung from 2010 and it's still going strong. According to RTINGS' TV size and viewing distance guide, the guidelines show that I may not find a difference going to a 55" 4K LED because the distance from the TV to MLP is around 9 ft. It's used mostly for console gaming, (TV, movies, and some PC gaming, hooked up to a gaming PC - smart apps not needed) (no sports). I don't want to go with OLED, because it's hooked up to a PC as a monitor too and am concerned about burn-in. AVR will be the Denon AVR-S750H.
Would it be worth it to upgrade to 4K at the distance I'm at?
If so, which would you get? The Samsung TVs below get decent marks on RTINGS.
- Samsung 55" Q90T $1200 at Greentoe (2020 model, new, no returns, 1 HDMI 2.1 port)
- Samsung 55" QN90A $1500 + $100 GC at Best Buy (2021 model, mini-LED FALD, new, returnable, 1 HDMI 2.1 port)
- Other suggestions?
Thanks!
