Yes. It's a hugely overblown "issue", if you can even call it that.
I think most phone nerds understand that 4K on a phone is not necessary.
Modern games run with 720p and 60 fps on the best GPUs
No they don't. On PC you can run games at native resolution with zero "AI enhanced" stuff.
If your phone is 1080p you won't be being served 8K video on any streaming service. 8K phone screens aren't coming any time soon, as even 4K is overkill and rarely done - and even then, netflix etc still don't stream 4K to them.
There aren't really any 1440p TVs out there. They're either 1080p or 4K.
Streaming services and other online media routed through the TV can hardly buffer to keep up with play speed at 720
This is a problem with your internet/network, not the TV.
8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum.
65-75" tv's are pretty much the standard these days. I've got a 75" and I'll want the next one I replace it with to be even bigger, so 100"-ish will be what I'll be after.
Some of these devices have even been known to look for other similar devices within WiFi range, and phone home that way (i.e., send analytics data via a neighbor’s connected TV as a proxy).
It's not just Australia, it's worldwide. People don't care about physical media anymore because the benefits of digital far outweigh the drawbacks.
I want 8K TVs, but only when there's abundant native 8K content to watch on it - otherwise there is no point.
“Souls-like” games - memorise attack patterns, the game. Not hard, just tedious.
“Tactics” style games, just don’t see the fun in that sort of game.
Sony’s bread and butter for the last 20 years, the ultra-linear handholding cinematic hold-forward-to-win games. Just watch a direct-to-digital movie if you want to watch a terrible D-grade tier movie.
Persona, Ace Attorney etc type games. Just literally do not see the appeal in these at all.
