4K is worth it in Kenya when you sit close enough to a 43 inch or larger screen and watch HD or 4K streaming. If you only watch SD decoder channels from far away, Full HD can be enough.

Resolution in numbers

Full HD is 1920 × 1080 pixels. 4K UHD is 3840 × 2160 pixels. That is four times the detail when the content and your eyes can use it.

When to pay for 4K

43 inch and up with seating under about 3 metres
Netflix, YouTube, or local fibre streaming in HD/4K
You want the set to stay relevant for years

When Full HD is fine

32 inch bedroom TVs
Budgets under KSh 20,000 where 4K is rare
Mostly SD satellite channels
