My conclusion is that for home entertainment in the form of couch tv there is no point in going beyond 1080p. That only makes sense for screen sizes well over 100 inches diagonal. Any pixelation you see is due to bad compression or upscaling.
For PC well depends where you sit.
If I take my measurement that I can see about 200 pixels/inch at 1ft distance.
For a state of the art 27 inch 2560x1440 109 pixels per inch monitor, I won't be able to see the line pattern from more then 22 inches away. (200 / 109 * 12) To be able to read small font you need to sit a bit closer though.
Or if I want to game from 2ft away and not be able to distinguish any pixels I need a monitor with about 100 pixels/inch, sit back and relax while playing, say 3ft, only need 67 pixels/inch.
