How important is screen resolution to you? Not just in games but in tv and movies too? and how about screen size?
i thought about this recently when talking with someone young about 4k and 8k on very large screens, an enthusiast for tvs the size of a home cinema
i realised i dont really care that much, i can appreciate it but i'm fine with a regular, even budget, tv of the sort you might pick up at a large grocery store like walmart and 1080 is fine, so was 720 too when that was considered good
i'm fine with a DVD, sure bluray looks better but DVD is fine by me
with gaming i like larger screens, say a 22 or more, and 1920x1080+ is fine, but 1600x900 is ok too and for older games if its 1024x768 its just fine, sometimes less is equally fine. i remember playing quake at 640x480 and thinking it was amazing, half life at 800x600 was good too, and crysis on 1600x900 was great.
maybe my eyesight isnt good enough to fully appreciate the difference or maybe, having grown up with small crt monitors and relatively small crt tv sets, (not all in color!) i just think everything is pretty good!
