    Should I buy a 4K TV right now?

    My parents are actually die-hard English movie watchers and can appreciate good picture quality. Moreover I will be using the TV occasionally as well when I get here. :p They actually don't watch much DTH TV (they have a separate 40 incher for that in another room). This new TV is going to be...

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    Finished Binary Domain. Good game. A little too buggy sometimes, but the gunplay was really satisfying and the story was really nice too. The in-game voice acting during the fights made me cringe though (so canned and artificial), but in the cutscenes the same voices sounded pretty nice.

    Should I buy a 4K TV right now?

    By high-end, I mean awesome picture quality, pure and simple. Now, how much difference in picture quality can I expect between a TV priced at 50k, 75k, 100k, 125k and 150k? I haven't really fixed a budget yet. But, for example, if there's indeed only a 3% display quality difference between a...

    Should I buy a 4K TV right now?

    I hadn't really considered the problem of scaling. I am mostly looking to view a lot of downloaded 720p movies and TV shows, and maybe the occassional 480p stuff. I will be connecting an Asus OPlay Mini to watch these things. If scaling is that bad of a problem, I guess it makes sense to go for...

    Should I buy a 4K TV right now?

    Thanks @Jasku. Forking out 140k+ for a super high end 1080p TV might be a possibility. Haven't decided yet. But, considering that I spend that much money on a TV, will I really get better value on the 1080p model rather than on the 4K model? Doesn't it make sense to go for a super high-end 4K...

    Should I buy a 4K TV right now?

    Hi guys. Back to TE after a long time. I dropped out during the early days of the Being.smart era. :P My parents are considering buying a new TV for their bedroom. Currently we have an old Sony 40-incher, and we are considering a new super high-end TV at 55 inches. Budget is around 1 lakh. 4K...

    Android Please Post Your OnePlus One CPU Temperature

    @kidrow I experienced the exact same thing with my OPO. I have also returned the phone. I have now ordered another one, let's see if it's any better. It's possibly just a manufacturing defect of some kind, and I hope I don't have to return this second one too. Can you give a link to the thread...

    Android Please Post Your OnePlus One CPU Temperature

    Very strange! I have been playing only one game "Thomas was Alone" (very nice game BTW) which is a relatively undemanding 2D game but got the temps as high as 60 C. I shall try with Asphalt 8 and report back. And I am thinking, maybe your unit is defective too. Even 53 seems a little too high...
