First Time Using a 4K HDR Display

Recently, me and dad decided to pick up a new 50 inch TV to put on the living room and give the old 32 inch one to my little brother who up until now had nothing to watch content on in his room. He's still not sleeping there, but it's still a step.

So we got the Samsung UN50AU8000.

It's a really decent piece of kit and looks incredible.

Of course, this television may be for the living room but it doesn't mean I'm going to use it just for watching news and movies. I set my PC up here and decided to try out a bunch of things.
First was just general web browsing and stuff like that.

4K at 100% scaling is impossible to see, specially at the distance I'm sitting at here in the couch. My PC tried setting 300% as a default but that looked too chonk, so 200% is the sweet spot for me.
Text looks insanely good and everything is really usable like this.

Then I decided to try out some games. I only have a 4GB RX 580 so it's not like anything too recent would have worked, but I was quite surprised.
Doom Eternal ran at low to medium settings in 4K rather well, at the 50 to 60 FPS range.
Tekken 7 for whatever reason was stuck at 45FPS with everything on max, I could probably make it work though, just didn't feel like it right now.
All 2D games I tried ran flawlessly such as Sonic Mania, and the pixel art looks just incredible. Even emulators did a great job of upscaling older titles to such a large resolution.

Then I tried out Forza Motorsport 7, and I only touched the resolution, left everything else maxed out... Somehow it runs PERFECTLY. It's really odd because the game is just beautiful.
I'm not complaining though and it's something even my father was quite impressed by.

Overall, after taking years to finally adopt 4K here at home, I have to say I'm not disappointed in any way and can see how this is most certainly the future.
Things are so much crisper, it's insane. I was not expecting the difference to be this pronounced.
HDR also makes the image so much more lively and it was also my first time seeing it, it's quite incredible.

Call it patience or just being poor, it was worth the wait.
