Your playing console games with a one size fits all mentality on a cheap 4k tv. Not surprising you won't see much difference.

Not sure what that means. My 1080p 40 inch was much cheaper by the way and a less notable brand. My Vizio is 50 inches and has quadruple the pixel count, Im saying the difference is relatively minor unless you're looking closely for differences.

But the objectively noticeable improvment is what the X1X does on any screen. The higher native resolution gets rid of jaggies, the increased graphics and performance is also significant. Hence, I didnt need a TV upgrade per se because the X1X was already fixing the flaws I could see on 1080p screen. The extra sharpness I'm getting the new TV is less significant.

Point is neither X1X or the PRO are powerful enough to showcase 4k properly. We are still at least 3+ gpu generations away. So the current games don't showcase it either. Especially draw distance in open world games.  Comparing 1080p to 4k in console games is rather pointless due to the current hardware limitations. I game on pc and upgraded from a 37" 1080p to a 40"k tv 2 years ago. It is more noticeable on pc since you can crank up the graphics beyond default in many games. However, you should see the difference watching You Tube videos or movies in 4k or 8k downsampled to 4k which looks even better if you can stream 8k.
