Looking for new 4K TV (possibly 120hz for Next Gen consoles)

article doesn't appear to discuss the hdr component of the games .. how's that evolving ? and is that an importanty aspect of tv selection

There are a number of articles eg games-look-bad-part-1-hdr-and-tone-mapping
on how hdr game animation have yet to catch up with the cinema experience games they call out
Battlefield 1, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Horizon Zero Dawn
(as Pottsey said)

but the hdr game experience (vs sdr) will be much more diverse across tv brands due to the tvs tone-mapping technique, since for sdr everyone has brightness/contrast/colour-spaces that are closer/exceeding specs

If you have an ultra high-end PC with next-gen GPU (3080 Titan) then maybe most games could run at 4k/120hz....but that's a lot to pay for some extra frames.

Worth keeping in mind, those won't be 120 fps at 4K. It will be a resolution under it, because they're almost all going to be using dynamic res scaling. The signal will still be 4K 120hz though, so that's why I mentioned 1440p 120hz before, because I wonder if they'll allow that - hopefully they do, it would be ideal, as more people have 1440p 120hz capable TVs than 4K 120hz ones.

I think the problem with articles such as that one is that they forget the human element and inject their own subjectivity as the truth. Some very, let's call them discerning, viewers want a reference picture, but forget that most people don't give a fig and would rather have something more editorialised (brighter, more saturation, more contrast, etc.) And frankly, as much as I am one of these elitists as well wrt reference image reproduction I can't say looking at those examples I'd rather have what he says would be closer to 'correct' than what's actually shipped. Specifically looking through this that he cites (http://www.adammyhill.com/unofficial-color-grading-of-uncharted-4/) I just can't agree in the slightest. I do want my video games to look video gamey!
