is it worth getting a ps4 if we only have a 1080p tv?

Hey guys this may sound like a stupid question but im not sure what the highest resolution ps4 can do but is it worth buying a ps4 when it comes out if we only have a 1080p tv or should we upgrade so its 2160p so we get the most out of the pictire quality what do u think guys

It is not gonna run more then 1080p when it launches. Hell we will be lucky if we get 1440p after launch. But all in all it really doesn't matter it is not that much of a significant chage once you go above 1080p. Wait till the OLED come out that is when we will be mine blown.

You would be wasting your money for anything above 1080P.

Yes, nothing on the PS4 (at least at launch) is going to run anything higher than 1080p. And there's talk that most games will probably run lower than that resolution anyway to provide higher framerates. 

Zero chance the ps4 in game will have resolutions any higher then 1080p. It might do 4k for blueray movies but the machine is no where near powerfull enough to produce anything higher at a decent fps.

LOL Console games will finally be rendered at Full HD 1080p. They won't go any higher. Why would you want to blow money on a 4K Display? You want to stretch that low 1080p rez? ShadowDeathX

4K tvs and amps have upscalers already, plus some 4k TV's cn actually dual display 1080p content.....

Games on the PS3 will run at 720p or 1080p, depending on what the developer wants/requires. It can do 4k video, but what 4K video content is there out there now? Even in 2014, you'll be hard pressed ot find anything worth the immense price of a 4K TV set (most of which will only be worth it for sets 60+ inches in size anyway - do you even have the space for such a gigantic things?).

It might be worth it to invest in a 4K TV in 2020, but not now. And by that time it's probable that your 4K TV will simply stream games to your home, and you won't even need a PS4.

it's going for 1080p, so u fine.

it is a silly question i mean seriously 1080p is a great picture, ps4 will only have games at 1080p :S thats what has been said, it will be able to play 4k blu rays but wont support 4k games yet. 1080p is the highest you can get without breaking your millionaires friends bank account lol.

Well on the TV/console side of things yes, but I'm running a 2560x1440p monitor and it cost me $500, not $25,000. Of course, I also need 2 GTX 680's in SLi to max out games at 60+ FPS at that resolution ($800 worth of GPU).

no , you need a 3D tv to fully enjoy playstation

tc, u get too confused by resolutions and marketing buzz words.

u should just sit back and enjoy. ps4 is for 1080p. ps3 did it too, but sometimes less because ai, textrue, frames rates, ect.

run in 720p i bet.

I think the PS4 will max out at 1080p, very much doubt it will go higher or lower.

Im keeping my 53 inch Panasonic plasma 1080p for my ps4.
No need to upgrade.

I can't imagine PS4 trying to push for 1440p ever - 1080p is the standard to live by for the next 5-6 years (unless you go PC)
