Alright, here's the deal. I need to reply my aging an apparently dying TV in my bedroom. It's an old Sony Bravia I got back when Circuit City was still around. I have a 40 inch Panny Plasma (720p) in my Living Room and I'm thinking about moving it to the bedroom, along with the FireTV Box and calling it a day.
That leaves me with replacing the TV in the Living Room. Currently, the family uses it for cable, watching Netflix, Amazon TV and a bunch of other streaming services. There's an Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Wii U and a Raspberry PI emulator box out there for gaming. At the moment I'm torn as I can get a 40 inch 4K Samsung for $500-600 or a 50-inch 1080p smart tv for the same price. I already have a 40 inch 4K in my office for game reviews, testing, etc and I honestly don't think 4K is at the point where I need it in my Living Room. My mancave, sure, but I already have a 55-inch plasma down there and won't replace it until it died.
The wife told me I have until tomorrow to decide or the offer to replace anything is off the table... how nice of her. I'm leaning towards the 1080p as I don't think 4k is there yet in regards to the standards and would love to get a better 4K later down the line. I also think that I'd be the only one to actual give a shit about the technological leap. I'm not a 4K pro yet, and I know there're some people here more versed in it than I, so what do think I should lean towards?
