Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?

The rare exception to Betteridge's Law.

But yeah, this matches my experience. I can tell the difference between 1080 and 4k from my couch if I work at it, but not enough to impact my enjoyment of what I'm watching, and definitely not as much as the difference HDR makes.

Even at computer monitor distance, running a 4k monitor at 1440 with high pixel density is probably going to be a better experience than wrenching every single pixel you can get out of it. Framerate is better than resolution for gaming, for the most part.

I watch 576i DVDs on a 24" 1366x768 TV and I don't mind because I sit reasonably far.

I thought this was known. I personally never see a difference between 1080p and 4K, and its great cuz it saves me money :)

But they are much better for energy companies

I stick with 1080p for my Jellyfin library because I can’t really tell much difference on my living room TV between upscaled 1080p and native 4k, at least not enough to merit the huge difference in file size. 4k games when sitting close to my computer monitor, on the other hand, are definitely worth it.

"No duh" -Most humans, since ever

That's why I have a 65" and sit barely 2m from it. Stick on a 4k Dolby Vision encoded file through Jellyfin. Looks fucking great!

Me getting 480p videos for my video projector : "Oh... no really?" ¯\(ツ)/¯

PS: FWIW I do have a Vision Pro (for work, I didn't pay for it personally) so I technically could enjoy high res content... but honestly I can't bother using this to watch videos. I'm fine with just my desktop screen or video projector. I just don't get the high res.

This is pretty obvious due to how they had to add HDR at the same time to sell it. The HDR was a real progression, but they wouldn’t get to sell you higher res Blu-ray formats and streaming packages with just that.
