Na, 4K, even 1080p upscaled to 4K is significantly better thsn FullHD with a video projector.

Me too. I don't even need 60hz. I get motion sickness if a screen goes over 30hz. I guess I'm officially old.

I like 4k for documentaries and cinematic shows, but Ill never watch something like TNG or Jessica Jones on 4k again. Takes all the magic away, feels like you're standing next to the camera guy - suddenly I just see an actor in room and the immersion is broken.

Sounds like you have motion smoothing on.

Resolution alone isn't enough to fuck that up. I noticed it first when watching The Hobbit in cinemas at 48fps. It makes things that are real look very real, and unfortunately what was real was Martin Freeman wearing rubber feet.

🤣🤣🤣

Ok, good tip. I'll try that out and see if I can enjoy it more.

I'll take a pair of rubber feet too!
