Naturally it's different for VR due to the high fov.
Normally a TV you watch at between 20 to max 40 degrees fov. 40 degrees is pretty close, 6.5 ft from a 65" screen. Even if you practically sit on top of the tv at 4ft distance, you're fov is still 'only' 60 degrees.
VR currently sits at 110 degrees fov, still on the low side as 150 is better suited to human vision. At 110 fov any 4K screen will still look worse than a 1080p screen. If you're used to the normal recommended seating distance of 30 degrees fov for 1080p, you would need almost an 8K screen (per eye) for VR to get the same perceived resolution.
Here's one of those fov calculators
