The ONLY zoomed picture in this whole thread was the last close-up of laras neck&shoulder, the other ones were 1:1-sections of the 4K-pictures for the people here, who are even too lazy to open the 4k-pictures in fullscreen (and even there you have to maximize the picture on a 1080p-display) to see the differences and just took a quick look in the forum display and "see no difference"

I think you  and Peh are really missing the point of this thread. I'm not saying there ISN'T a differrence. Yes, 4kc will never look as good as a native 4k. Thats never been in debate.

But the point is simple, is 4kc providing a good enough imporovememnt over 1080p? Will that difference be something that will look sooo bad and detract from the overall I at a glance in comparison to native 4k under normal use situations? Is or should pushing more pixels natively be proposed over pushing pixels "smarter" with less a hit to resources while still achieving results that are better than 1440p which just up till september 7th seemed to have been perfect and ok for most gamers?

That depends on the TV you are using. On a 1080p TV the image will look more sharper than on a 4k TV. But the upscalled 4k image will be probably downscalled on the TV, which could get rid of Aliasing. If you are using a 4k TV, well, then the upscaled image is the best option you can have. 1080p on a 4kTV is obviously worse than what the PS4 pro would do.
