You must have bad eye sight. I can see the difference in 4K instantly.

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I have a 4k Samsung TV (U6500 series) and the difference between 1080p and 4k is very noticeable, even at bigger distances between the person and the TV.

Let me get this straight:
We raged, went nuts, started fights and insulted each other for 900p upscaled to 1080p vs native 1080p.

But now, 1080p vs 4K --> Not a big deal.

Goal posts...

Difference between 720p to 1080p is noticeable.

900p to 1080p is kind of arguable, I can see it on my monitor when I played AC Unity on my PS4.

1080p to 4k, if someone (op) argues there is no difference, I'm not even joking when I say an eye test is in order.

It might have been what was being displayed on the TV's, but the difference is there and it's big.

Resolution changes are far more noticeable in gaming than in movies.

Probably just a shit TV or badly configured.
I've been to several stores recently and saw massive differences between TVs of the same price range. Quite a few had a picture that looked more like SD, but wasn't since the channel had an HD logo.

20/20? What?!!
I'm still using my 8 year old Benq 21.5 HD monitor. 4K upgrade will always be a PC based monitor and no TV as I prefer to sit closer for pixel glory.

And I can't see past 30 fps. 60 fps is a scam!

I've only read the thread title.

Maybe a month ago, a friend of mine gave me some Bose speakers. I needed something to Kinect them to so I bought a Sony receiver thingy from Walmart.

I walked passed the TV section and one TV stopped me in my tracks. I said "damn this TV looks good!". I even got my wife and she agreed. It was only $600 from Vizio but it looked amazing. Even from a distance when I was leaving, it looked noticeably better than all of the other TVs.

I've researched and found out that it was a low-end 4k TV but it was like comparing a cheap HDTV to an expensive SD TV. It's real.
