YouTube no longer considers 720p as high-definition...

I hypothesize that in my case it's probably cos these days most gamers have a bigger TV than me and sit closer to it, plus I suppose if others have been playing on PS4 Pro, PC, and Xbox One X for years and are used to resolutions above 1080p, 720p would look worse by comparison.

Like I say, I sit 3 meters back from a 42 inch screen. Dunno what the mathematics say about that, but I find it's not til games hit sub-HD ranges like 648p or 540p that they start to look notably blurry, and even then it's still playable, just not optimal.

2m or less you need 4k on 65"more or less.

I would say 3m, 42" you can be satisfied with 720p.

Ah, found the chart I was looking for, and sure enough it looks like 42 inches at 3 meters falls right in the middle of "720p worth it".
