This is just an admission of guilt by the author. :D
My wife brought a 37" Vizio into the relationship she got in 2008. It still works great. It's now hanging on the wall in the bedroom (and requires a special bracket because it doesn't have the VESA specified mount). We have a FireTV that allows us to stream television to it. It has survived two moves, plus being relocated in the house a few times.
So I'm with the guy in the comic - waiting for it to break could take forever.
Our living room TV and Blu Ray player are from that very short time period where you could get a 3D TV setup that uses passive polarized glasses, not active shutter glasses. (We've only ever watched one movie in 3D on it.) So even that is at least 9-10 years old at this point.
Obviously I'm not big on getting the latest and greatest TV, but if you wait until it's broken, it could be a while, in my experience. I'm generally with the wife on upgrading things, ie after they break, but for some things, that might not be a viable plan (or, the reward is worth it).
For real though, I'm rocking 1080. Is an upgrade to 4k worth it?
For me, it does, granted what other people said OLED you'll notice more than 4k. But ultimately it depends on what you like. If fidelity is your thing then go for it. If you don't care and are happy, then no need to rush
Depends on screen size and distance. Here's a nice graph:
I do recommend an OLED or QLED, though.
Perfect answer. For most people, no. I actually did make the jump to a 4k TV and sit close enough to it that I can visibly see the difference. About 8 feet from a 65" TV, still barely in the "Ultra HD Worth It" category.
It truly is ridiculously large for the space, everyone who visits us comments on it. My wife likes to joke when we watch Make Some Noise that the people are "life size". If you don't have a small living room and aren't planning at least a 65" or larger TV, than it's almost certainly not worthwhile.
Crazy to me that most AAA console games push 4k as the standard at the expense of 60FPS, given these realities.

do you have any source that would provide 4k content? I feel like even 720p is good enough at a decent bitrate. But it also depends on the size of the screen and the distance to it.
It is on work PC due to app scaling. On TV it greatly depends on it's quality, the quality of a source video and so on. Since I lucked into have an okay display, and mostly watch old 720-1080p shows and movies I never cared to update my TV, but since enormous 4k torrents are popular I guess people do seek and enjoy them. See if you have some friends with it and try watching a movie with them to know if you care about the difference.

I thought the punchline was that the Wii still works, so it hasn't been replaced either lol
Mine still works. It survived two wives and four kids (and me).
We played that board game island thing in Wii Party last night. Rock solid, after ... 16 years? Wii for life, people.
Just brought ours back out for Tanks in Wii Play. Solo, or VS, that game is still great
Yes. 100%
Serious question 'cause I am out of touch with modern society: Does the Switch still have party games for groups of 4 like the Wii did?
Oh, absolutely. The Switch is like the only console that still has a lot of couch co-op. Overcooked, Warioware, Mario Party of course, and there's a Switch Sports as well. Lots of great options, and the hybridization of a handheld and a full console means it's super easy to just bring your Switch along to a friend's, so you have access to both of your libraries of games.
It definitely has its flaws, but my Switch is my favorite console ever for those reasons
Cool thanks. I might just have to check that out...
I have it on good authority that if you don’t Wii for too long you die.

I miss my LG Plasma. Sold that dude with the house because it was super heavy and I was too lazy to unbolt it from the wall. Still regret that decision.

For real though: it's easier to convince the wife if the old TV can be sold to make the space and get some money to put towards the new one. TVs can last for decades and it'll be a long time if you're waiting for it to get "broken".

Ummm.....who wants to tell him?

Don't worry, they're making them cheaper and less reliable by the minute!

"Oh, those little straps on the controllers? Yeah, don't worry about those."
Just remove them just in case.
