    4K vs 1080 TV

    I am planning on getting a Samsung TV from Costco or Best Buy. It will sit above an armoire, 6 ft high. 8 ft from viewing from the bed. Does 4K make a difference over 1080 at this distance in a 40-43 inch screen? the 4K is $50 more, but comes with 3 yr warranty vs 1 yr

          Do modern TVs experience issues frequently

              4k is awesome with the right tv and the right settings. Some need to be calibrated to take full advantage of the tv though. I sit about 8 ft from a 65in 4k tv and I can totally tell the difference between 1080 and 4k. Check out this site for some more info on TVs.
              The best 42-inch TV overall that you can buy is the LG OLED42C6PUA. It delivers amazing image quality, with inky blacks and vibrant colors.

                We replaced all of the TV's in our house with 4K tv's.

                A better image at any distance.

                Amazon prime video has a lot of 4K programming.

                Don't hesitate to get a bigger tv as well, a 50" is where 4k really starts to shine.

                    I would get the 4K from Costco. 40"/43" is good size for bedroom.

                      You can't even SEE in 4k, what's the point?

                        What if your TV is 500 inches??

                          many say that, but i have seen a comparison side by side of 1080 and 4K and you can tell, unless your eyes are horrible.

                            I don't know where you got that info, but the human eye is capable of seeing about 576 "megapixels". It's just not a linear measurement like a TV due to the way our eyes work. A 16:9 4k TV is only about 8.3 megapixels.
