That is the problem with any future tv resolution advancements. Sony and other companies doing things like 4k or whatever else insane resolutions they are trying to strive for, should really go and talk to an optometrist
They need to be told that at some point the human eye can no longer tell the difference, so what is the point of going beyond that?
I figure the average person sits about 15 feet away from decently sized TV's these days. According to this chart that woudl equate to like a 125" TV before 4k becomes noticable.

To get full benefit at even say 10' it becomes like 150+ inch screen. Can't really determine full benefit for any distance longer than 10' away. But based on how 5' is 80", I figure 15' would be 220". As you can see to get the full benefit of a 4k tv, it needs to basically be a movie theater.
That's all 4k tv's will ever be. Movie theaters. If your a millionaire and have your own movie theater room, then you might buy a tv like this. But even if they were only $500, there is no point in them. You are not going to notice much of any difference based on where your sitting. |
I sit around 10 feet away so a 55" 4K tv would be noticable for me. 10 to 5 feet is my preference and I would think most people sit around the 10 feet range, not 15.

I don't think you understand how to read that chart.
At 10', away a 55" tv you are only seeing some of the benefits of a 1080p tv. You aren't even seeing 1080p full benefits. At 10' away you would need at minimum an 80" 4k tv.
Then it gets to once you are on a 80" tv, you do nto want to sit 10' away. You would be farther than that, and thus would again need to increase your tv size. Anybody I know that has a 50" tv size or larger you are sitting 15' away i find. In order to have a 50" tv you usually have a very large room and thus how the furniture is situated you are going to find yourself 15' away.
But again, even at 10', you would need at minimum a 80" tv for 4k to be noticable at all. For it's full benefits at 10' it would need to be like 150"
