I am gaming on 1080p and will most likely stay there for quite a while.
This is because Plasma color fidelity is too good compared to LEDs (OLEDs are not yet reliable) to use LEDs, even if 4k vs 1080p.
That being said, its hard to even get a plasma nowdays so im guessing the push will be for 4K.
This is AMAZINGLY good for me. While ppl will have to buy the most expensive GPUs to play 4k ULTRA details Ill be buying budget GPUs and still playing on ULTRA.
It took years to go from 720p to 1080p as a standard (TV still did not catch up, but thats nothing surprising as public administrations always stay behind decades of the mainstream).
Looks good so far to me, but untill AMD and nVidia come up with something incredible (VR maybe?) Im not jumping of the hype train.
you need to get with the times 1080p wasn't even a thing except for tv's i've still got my 21" viewsonic tube that's max was 1600x1200@75hz
florescent light sucks it does nothing but hurt my eyes and give me headaches hence a greater part of office workers and school childrens dread for those building. there's only so much flicker eye strain your eyes can be raped with.
plasma is good, until you get the image burn in and plasma is notorious for burning out after it's first year and rarely made it past 3 years of life.
i like plasma but it's costs are too prohibitive for it's short life span and burn in problems.
2 things that need to die are the florescent lighting and 60hz. the minimum spec should have been 75hz since the death of crt monitors.
1080p is all sony's fault and never should have existed when 1200p had 1080 beaten like a dead horse before 1080 was announced. seriously, we've all had 1200p for crts since 1998 1080 has been nothing but an industry crippling deformation whose only purpose was to milk every penny out of every brain dead user. florescent lighting was just the stamp of CEO bonus greed " it uses less power! brilliant i will pocket the savings AND build a gold statue of myself for my back yard! severe eye strain and headaches? not my eyes i don't care!"
designing anything for 60hz is a joke 60hz's is okay for 15fps
