    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
