I bought 4 as well. They'll be good presents. I'll probably lose them like the credit card tool I found in a drawer recently from a similar post in this thread.
I think the credit card tool was my post, weren't they for 7p delivered or something?I found mine when I changed jobs at the end of December!
My latest entry comes from the land of Chinglish too, I think it was about £3...

I bought 5 4K TVs last year for £3000 each with a view to try each one and then return the ones I didn’t want.
I missed the return date and now 4 of them are in the garage.
Ill be happy to provide long-term storage for one in my living room I missed the return date and now 4 of them are in the garage.
I bought an LG OLED TV as our old Samsung started to lose a bit of the colours on the right side, so its now the bedroom TV. The OLED one is very nice!
Out of interest which TV's did you try and which did you end up using? Why dont you just sell off the others instead of them sitting losing value in the garage?
Otherwise, sticking to the theme of the thread, why not buy a very powerful gaming PC and combine the other 4 to make a 16k gaming wall

Isn't resolution based on density? In which case it's still just 4K?
No resolution isnot based on density. PPI is density
4k 3840x2160
65" 4594 ppi
55" 6417 ppi
8k 7680x4320
65" 18377 ppi
55" 25668 ppi
16k 15360x8640
65" 73510 ppi
55" 102671 ppi

Quite. Resolution is simply the number of pixels vertically multiplied by the number of pixels horizontally. So 4 monitors of the same resolution will quadruple the total number of pixels. No resolution isnot based on density. PPI is density
A 5.5" phone and a 40" telly can have the same resolution. The former will need more Pixels per Inch (PPI) to achieve that though, ie. a greater density. So therefore resolution is not about density.

Well that is more or less the complete opposite of what I had previously assumed! A 5.5" phone and a 40" telly can have the same resolution. The former will need more Pixels per Inch (PPI) to achieve that though, ie. a greater density. So therefore resolution is not about density.

In simplest terms, resolution is the number of dots (pixels) whilst pixel density is the number of dots per inch. In much the same way as a small tank of compressed air can contain the same amount of air as a larger tank, if the smaller tank is under higher pressure.
Anyway, back to the frivolous purchases.

Surely if youre ‘that’ serious about your tv then you’d demo them from a non high street dealer. Spunking 15k in that manner is not frivolous, its madness!
Fwiw just bought a 65” sony 4k set from a mate who was upgrading. Cost him 6k 3 years ago, sold to me for £400. Flawless condition and simply fantastic picture quality and sound.

Otherwise, buy another 12 to 'test' and win the thread...
