Why are 4k bros like this?

>spend $5,000 on a gaming PC
>use 4k on your favorite game
>the hud becomes microscopic
geez, guess I better go play a new "game" to utilize the 4k

i sit like 10 feet away from my 24 inch 1080p screen and its like 4k

Being a little low res is fine actually cause it can hide how ugly some of those textures actually are.

companies got lazy and bloated because tech kept improving so fast for decades. every few years people had no choice but to upgrade their computers, phones, and gadgets. back then a 2-3 year gap meant huge gains—pcs doubled in speed, hdds doubled in size, ssds got faster, displays looked way better and cheaper, phones improved in every possible way year after year.

but now in 2025 that ride is over. a phone from 5 years ago is still perfectly fine, pcs are only a little faster, storage is stuck (bought a 4tb hdd in 2020 for $80, still $80 for 4tb today), and display tech improvements take forever to trickle down.

so these companies keep pushing the same marketing crap they’ve used for decades, but nobody’s falling for it anymore. anyone over 20 remembers the sd to hd tv jump and can see they’re just recycling the same tired pitch, while the stuff we already own still works and looks good enough.

If gaming is your main hobby, why not spend some money on it?

Probably because the poorfags get turbo mad (note: a poorfag is not the same as a toaster enjoyer) and have to convince themselves through righteous shitposting anything their 2018 laptop cannot run is peak consoomerism and you should touch grass or kill yourself or [insert insult of the month here].

luv me oled
luv me 240hz
'ate 60hz

'ate mad 1080plets (not rayciss just don't like them)
simple as

>4k
>is actually 3.840k

>>718773819
I like a small monitor, and at that point there's no point in anything higher than 1080p. Just turn on DLAA and play everything at maxed settings
I do not have a "poorfag" setup otherwise

>>718774557
I just like how sharp and clear everything looks in 4k

When your screen is 24 inches or smaller and 3 feet away any resolution looks sharp
As a bonus every game runs at 120+ before framegen/multi-framegen even with rt

>>718772797
shit game that made their UI be an absolute pixel size instead of scaling to screen space ratio

Most anons don't even sit the right distance from their screens so resolution becomes a straight meme.

>>718772816
this, 4k is only useful and noticeable if you sit like this...
