    Ehhh I mean… outside of up close, high res gaming? 4k doesn’t matter, it’s an excuse to add an extra 1k onto the price tag of a tv or monitor. Refresh rate is way more important.

      If you watch a 4k bluray. It’s night and day compared the 1080p. Same goes for the audio quality of them blurays. Compare 4k ones against standard bluray and there’s a massive difference. And sadly there’s also a massive difference favouring standard blurays against 4k streamed content.

        Oh yeah there’s definitely a significant difference between 1080 and 4k visually, but it’s not super impactful for me anyway

      My TV is 4K and I wouldn’t know if I’m watching something in 4K or not unless I was scrutinising it. Especially the attrocious bitrates services stream their 4K at. I do notice 720 is a bit “fuzzy”, but that’s about it.

        Yeah 720 vs 1080 is very noticeable. I will say even 1440 has its place for specific types of displays.

        But it all comes down to distance I think, the closer you are to the display the more the pixel density influences your experience; refresh rate is impactful at any distance and resolution

        I always use the resolution above my screen’s on youtube, because the bitrate’s so bad, and the difference is very very noticable on monitors

      You can get a new 4K TV for ~200€, and most phones come with a camera greater than 8.3MP, but there’s almost no 4K content available outside of Netfilx shows and tech youtubers

      Disagree. Watched a 4K HDR remux of Alien on my OLED TV last night and the quality was mindblowing. Bitrate matters more than resolution overall, but once you’re at the “enough” point you’ve gotta increase resolution to really push the quality up.

          It’s your opinion? Your opinion is incorrect. It’s an objective fact that 4K, not to mention HDR, matters.

            I mean, that’s subjective. If it’s impactful for you? Then sure, it matters for you. It isn’t for me, therefore doesn’t

            The more important question, is why are you being so hostile over…. video resolution?
