I am underwhelmed by my 4K TV and maybe X1X already has the GPU power for 9th gen.

This is exactly why I haven't been over hyping the Xbox One X or even the PS4 Pro. I have several models of Xbox and both models of PS4 as we speak. I also have 4K and 1080p TVs and I consider myself a person who knows his tech and how to fine tune an image. While you can see the improvements, for me, it just isn't as "night and day" as some would lead you to believe.

Even watching and enjoying tons of Digital Foundry videos, I find myself just not seeing the differences that they highlight. There's a bit of "The Emperor is wearing new clothes" going on. I hop between my Xbox One X in 4K and standard Xbox on a 1080p set all the time. I never find myself saying "This one looks like crap" or 'This one looks incredible".

And yeah, I also google searched the ideal settings and then played with it to get the image that is best for my personal tastes.

Yea, personally I really like being able to spot details/enemies in the far distance, so I'm very much in favor of higher rendering resolutions, but even for me the difference between 1080p with super sampling and 4k is subtle (and between checkerboard 4k and native 4k it's even less obvious). I kinda get the impression that ppl feel they have to emphasize the differences soo much, because they are so minor.

Even Digital Foundry (or AnandTech) had said checkerboard got it very close to native.

Someone likely lied to you.

The "recommended distance" is a type of lie. It is actually reverse.

It is more like the closer you are to the TV the more resolution or smaller screen you need. The curved screen was a type of marketing stunt with the added down side of being less optimal for people outside of the center of projection of the TV.

I sit very close to my TV (5ft) and it is 65", so less than 4K I can even see "dots" on the image. It is flat and I have no issue, I still have corners on my view and could go for perhaps even 85-100" on same distance on 8k.

For some days when I bought a projector to my condominium I was testing it, and I had full wall (over 200") playing Shadow of Mordor, I was like 8ft away or less and it was just fantastic.

Similarly I use the PSVR to play some non VR game and depending on the game I use small or large screen (one I can see the corners as if watching a 120" screen other it seems like 300" and I lose corners - need small head turns to look there) and my only complain on playing like this is that the resolution is too small so I can see the pixels to clearly, VR will be just fantastic on 8K.

The tv that i'm talking about, is for me and only me, to use. The curve definitely helps me be centered better, to the screen, even more than when i had my previous flat tv, which was 10" smaller.

If you use it alone perhaps you see some additional benefits then =p
