Yeah too bad 4k tvs are still waaay to pricey....still its so goddamm beautiful though.

malokevi3829d ago

I'm considering this over the next few months:

http://forums.bit-tech.net/...

$1299 4K TV from Seiki, bare bones, no added features, just amazing resolution at the lowest pricepoint available.

robotgargoyle3829d ago

Totally. I upgraded to a new set this year (plasma Panasonic Viera) with OLED sets and 4k still being ridiculously priced.

Doesn't look like they'll be going down in price anytime soon.

PFFT3828d ago

I agree! Better start putting money into my piggy bank.

Abriael3828d ago

@malokevi: I heard some good and bad things about that one...

malokevi3828d ago

@Abriael

Care to elaborate?

Abriael3828d ago

@malokevi: mostly ghosting on the screen. Of course you get what you pay for, so it's still a pretty good deal

guitarded773828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

Midway through the next generation they'll be reasonably priced. At the beginning of this console generation, LCD TV's were very expensive.

UnholyLight3828d ago

<2 years you'll see reasonable prices. There's 2 4k TV's on display at my local Future Shop for 3k. Prices are dropping faster for 4k than they thought. I say less time than it took Plasma/LCD prices to drop

AliTheSnake13828d ago

It would look really ugly and blurry. 1080p unscaled and stretched pixels.

Very poor pixel Density.

malokevi3828d ago

hmm, I'll probably hold out, then. Though I'll check the reviews before I buy anything. Thanks for the heads up.

SignifiedSix913828d ago

They're not as expensive as people were making them out to be.

Pretty cheap if you have to ask me!

Not like native 4k but new generation upscaler does wonders and Ryse is best example, looking better than man native 1080p games

looks great with no jaggies.

jidery3828d ago

This obsession with higher resolution is silly. Its like buying a car simply because it has more horsepower, when as a metric is only tells part of the story. I would take a good 1080p tv with solid color reproduction and better processing over a "cheap" 4k.

ThanatosDMC3828d ago

Yeah, where are the jaggies and the pixelated mess... i call shenanigans.

nukeitall3828d ago

hot daymn. The Xbox One makes that 4k TV look really good!!!

=D

Autodidactdystopia3828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

Seeing as how i'm looking at a downrezzed PICTURE of a 4k tv playing a 1080 or less game

I am confused as to what I am supposed to be impressed with?

the size of the tv in relation to the guy?

I don't get this.

why not look at a screenshot which is actually clear and then imagine it as big as you want..

ohiostatesman3828d ago

I am so proud that Forza has been the best rated racing game in the last 10 years. It dethroned Gran Turismo many years ago and continues to carry the fire.

mkis0073828d ago

ohiostatesman in reviews, not in sales.

Ps4Console3828d ago

The new consoles aren't upgraded to run full 4K though are they , they just upscale but not to the full 4K .

abzdine3828d ago

on a screen like this even a Gameboy game would look good.

SnakeCQC3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

whats the point? i thought max res is 1080p(but there are quite a few reports of lower res games)

Why the disagrees? its true. Id say the same for any system that doesn't take advantage of the extra pixels

Abriael3829d ago

TV like that one have a pretty powerful upscaler built in. If you play games on it, you won't get the full crispness of 4K, but you're still getting a benefit over 1080p

Of course it's nowhere worth 10k bucks, but hey, some people have money to spare and no intention to use it to further world peace so...

dennett3163828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

Upscalers aren't some miracle producing chip of the Gods, upscaled images vs native resolution is ALWAYS a loss for the upscaled image.
The game would have looked better being demoed on a top of the line 1080p screen - would have looked sharper. All they're doing is trying to push that the One can do 4K, and I'm sure it possibly can for video....maybe. But for games? Forget that notion - at least, forget that notion without a dev dropping every setting down to low and creating a VERY undemanding engine with no graphical effects. The One is simply not capable of 4K gaming. PS4 either. It'd have fewer sacrifices in order to achieve it, but it would still be a very basic looking game that just happens to have a nice, crisp resolution.

Saviour3828d ago

@dennett316- True. but 4k upscaled is better than 1080p native, still price is not worth to get 4k at this point.

Rageanitus3828d ago

ummmm upscale does not make magical resolutions.

I have a 1080p monitor and connected my xbox 1080p upscaled. It looks AWFUL vs a native 1080p game

mcgrottys3828d ago

There really is no loss in detail when up scaling from 1080p to 4k. Essentially 1080p = 1920x1080, 4k= 3840x2160. 3840/1920 = 2 and 2160/1080 = 2, 2x2 = 4 hence the term 4k. This was done for the sole purpose of scaling, if you run a 1080p stream on a 4k set you will end up with each pixel of data from the stream being displayed on 4 pixels on the 4k, without any scalars it would look just the same side by side with a 1080p display, so scalars should essentially only make it look better weather it be some smoother edges or better color reproduction.

If you want to see a proper example of this then just go to your closest bestbuy and the should have a Sony demo unit that displays both up scaled 1080p which looks better than my 1080p display and 4k which looks amazing.

wishingW3L3828d ago

since you guys have no idea what an upscaler is then here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

@mcgrottys, stop talking so much nonsense you have no idea what you're talking about. My goodness... lol

BallsEye3828d ago

@dennett316

Yes native is better but new generation upscaler can do wonders and will look way better than 1080p with some good AA going on. Just look at Ryse with its 900p

http://s.pro-gmedia.com/vid...

http://s.pro-gmedia.com/vid...

Looks better on my screen than the PC games 1080p I run without AA.

Hana2 chip doesn't just stretch the pixels, it does much more than that.

-SIXAXIS-3828d ago

The game is upscaled to 4k resolution. It will not even be close to 4k. Imagine resizing a 480x270 to 1920x1080; it's the same size jump. There is no upscaler that will make it look good. In fact, it would look better at it's original size but smaller.

Ju3828d ago

What are you guys going on and on about 4k. None of you will buy one anytime soon anyhow.

tigertom533828d ago

the xbox one can upscale to 4k that why it comes with 4k hdmi cable...

sprinterboy3828d ago

"what's the point". 4k movies is the point

MrCastle3828d ago

There are only a handful of 4k movies out right now. And they are 30+gb a movie. Definitely drawbacks.

Giru0173828d ago

Too bad for the disagrees, but yes, you are correct. Not only that, 4K TV's are capped at 30hz when displaying 3840 x 2160, so you won't make it past 30 fps with a 1080p 2x upscaled image... No thanks.

RedSoakedSponge3829d ago

looks good but pointless to have these pics really. we cant see the difference on our lower resolution displays

Gazondaily3829d ago

This reminds of that episode in Futurama where Amy shows us her naughty tattoo but our measley, pre-3000AD TV's wouldn't let us see the images properly.

RedSoakedSponge3828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

haha! that is a perfect example :P

oh and the people who disagreed with me. are you guys retarded? lol

Fishy Fingers3829d ago

Same as it would look on a 84in 1080p TV I assume.

Abriael3828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

Nope. That TV has a powerful upscaler built in. It won't look like it was rendered at 4k, but it'll definitely look different than on a 1080p TV of the same size, which would have pixels as big as your thumb (yes, I'm exaggerating)

Fishy Fingers3828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

Fair comment. I'm not a fan of upscaling personally but I suppose on a TV this size it might provide a small improvement. But even upscaling to 1080 from 720 offers little improvement and thats 'only' double the pixels, here your talking 4x the native input, that in itself can cause issues like input lag as the extra processing on the TVs side does take time, not such an issue when your watching TV but possible when playing a game.

Maybe I'm just bitter I can't justify a 4k purchase (see: annoyed girlfriend) yet so trying to console myself ;) But 1080p upscaled will still be a far cry from 4k native.

Volkama3828d ago

But does the Xbox (or ps4) scaler do 4k, or is it the TV doing the work here? It matters because so far 4k TV upscalers have a great image but with enough lag to be a bother for gamers. And this is the £4000 models, so the higher end processors...

AliTheSnake13828d ago (Edited 3828d ago )

WRONG. Upscaling stretches the pixels, and makes them look blurry. 1080p of the same size, will have crispier picture. ICC is a marketing stunt.

Nocando3828d ago

Serious question, since the manufacturers are pushing 4k so much, does this mean a new format? Or will it just be higher capacity BR?

LAWSON723828d ago

I believe Blu ray will continue to be the main disc format because it has been improved a lot over the years and now holds up to 100GB

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551730d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1730d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1730d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2421d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2421d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2421d ago (Edited 2421d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2421d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2421d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides
