If you're even vaguely familiar with technology and video games then you'll know what I'm on about, this obsession with 4K and higher resolutions in general. It's incredibly annoying. I'm partially blaming Sony and their PS4 Pro, but this whole 4K craze has been permeating the tech and video game community for a while.
Look, I'm a huge gamer, I own a gaming PC, a PS3, an Xbox 360, a Wii, a 3DS, and a Sega Dreamcast. I have played almost every popular gaming system ever through emulation. I own hundreds if not thousands of games. Games are my favorite form of entertainment, since I was a small child I've wanted nothing more than to develop computer games and create them because that's how passionate I am about games.
But I really, really don't care about 4K. For my PC, I use a 1600 x 900 monitor and for my Consoles I either use a 720p or 1080p TV. I am more than satisfied with those resolutions, although 720p is a little soft I will admit but 1600 x 900 is perfect and I think it looks great. I get it, blah blah more detail blah, but personally it's not a big enough difference to go out and spend money on. I'm concerned with framerates first, because honestly smoothness of gameplay is much more integral to enjoyment than anything else. 60fps in 1080p or 20fps in 4K? The choice is obvious.
There's always some goddamn circlejerk about who has the biggest resolution display running at the highest refresh rate and it's just fucking insanely annoying being someone who doesn't have an interest in upgrading. Quit shoving this 4K shit down my throat, if I want a 4K display I'll buy one. I'm happy with what I have right now. I can still enjoy my games at these "lowly" resolutions because I don't care about seeing extra detail on that airplane flying over the city in GTA 5, or seeing slightly more detail on buildings that are far in the background. It's not essential to the experience in my opinion, so I don't need it.
