I don't understand new TV tech

[jacatone]

I have a 16 year old Sony Bravia 48 inch TV. After setting it to vivid and maxing out the resolution along with some other settings the picture quality is really quite good. Blacks are dark, movies appear bright and colorful and I can easily see hair follicles and pores in actors faces. Is all this QD mini micro HDR, RGB tech really worth all the hype? I certainly know these TVs aren't going to last 16 years. Your lucky if many of these off brands like Westinghouse, RCA, and Panasonic last more than a year or two.

For me, it was worth the hype.

However, one doesn't need a UHD/4K TV with HDR support unless one wants to watch UHD/4K HDR movies from UHD Blu-ray discs or via streaming services in their native resolution and colorspace. HD TVs won't accept UHD/4K resolution as input, and HDR color won't display correctly unless the TV supports HDR.

I also have a Sony Bravia 47 inch TV. It is still working but not as much as in the first few years.
Unfortunately it is worthless these days if I want to sell it and upgrade to 4K TV.
So instead and in order to enjoy 4K streaming from Apple TV+, I bought an LG 4K 27 inch monitor for the PC and I am using it to watch the movies and shows. Awesome.
