Absolute rubbish.

Resolution and pixel density is determined by a range of factors like visual acuity of the individual (Eyesight for example can exceed 20/20), display size and how far away an individual is distanced from the display.

Plus higher resolutions does tend to resolve micro details in various assets better as well.

This is a rough guide, note: It does not take into account visual acuity of the individual, so there is some additional variance not accounted for.

He's completely overblowing it, but he has a point. I honestly can't tell the difference between 4K and 1080p on anything less than a 55 inch TV. I think my 1440p IPS, HDR, 27 inch monitor looks better than most 4K TVs. Especially when I'm running games at 80-100 FPS. I'm sure you've seen the video below already, but it just goes to show that FPS is way more important than resolution. 

Hence the chart I provided.

Resolution is often a case of "your mileage may vary."

I play on  42 inch TV, and 720p still looks fine to me, with the difference between 720p and 1080p being pretty negligible, and I have 20/20 vision.

Well... You can have better than 20/20 vision...
