at least when it comes to consumer tech
like i can't even remember the last time i was excited for a new tech thing. maybe my second smart phone, i guess? that one was at least a big improvement from my first one. third was marginally better, and then the fourth, which i'm using now, i feel like i only got because of planned obsolescence (slow down/battery problems etc.)
it's such a stark contrast from growing up in the 90s/early 2000s
4k for gaming on a 27inch monitor or whatever is definitely a waste, but 1440p/2k gaming is actually a good middle ground. Still get decent framerates and it looks significantly better than 1080p at 27 inch monitor.
Absolutely. Even for general productivity I appreciate what you can fit on a 1440p screen
