You know how 4K TV demos in stores are mostly still camera shots? That's because in motion (and games are mostly in motion) you can't tell any difference whatsoever.

I think 4K is stupid, and I also think big TVs are stupid so it kinda goes hand in hand. You can improve the picture by a large margin just by learning how to properly set up the TV and your devices.

 

I disagree for the most part. You are right that every TV needs to be properly calibrated. But native 4k does provide a better picture than native 1080p. Besides if you look at greenery in 1080p, it's a bit fuzy due to the complexity of plants.

A bigger screen gives more immersion and with 4k you can make sure a 50 inch TV looks great even if you are 2m away from it. Pixelcount is less obvious in moving pictures but the difference between 4k and 1080p is big enough. I would say it is bigger than 720p vs 1080p in pixelcount and for the eye itself. 8k on the other hand will be bullshit, since your eye is biological not advanced enough to distinguish 4k and 8k in motion. But 4k if the content is native, is defenitly visible.

Well... I watch TV 2-4 meters away from a 32 inch TV and feel the 1080P is certainly worth it. If I wanted something like a 40 inch I would see the difference, but since there is no point in big TVs there's no point in 4K. At least that's the way I see it. My beef is ridiculously big TVs and ridiculously big phones and ridiculously big anything (yes, even boobs). It seems wasteful and decadent to me, the TV should not command your place of residence.
