So I've seen plenty of people online, probably some on here, claim that the Switch doesn't get blurry on big 4k TVs and just looks amazing. Well, been playing on my 65 inch 4k TV the past few days and Switch looks totally blurry! I now know not to trust anyone who tries to hype up Switch graphics. Fact is that not every system's graphics looks amazing on any size screen. You really need 4k games for it to look crystal clear on a huge tv.

Which is exactly why no one should believe you because you don't give enough context.

Have you even tested what your TV is truly capable of? If not, how can you even make a comparison?
People in the 1990s would go ape shit over a TV displaying a 720p resolution and would call it the cleanest picture they've ever seen. Now tell them the same TV could display a 4k image and the same people would laugh at how blurry the 720p picture looks in comparison.

Also I don't think you ever told us your viewing distance. If it's something like 4m then it's pretty obvious that a sub 1080p picture will look good on it. But then you'd need to ask yourself why you even bought a 4k TV...

I wish people would stop with that viewing distance crap. Our eyes aren't cameras and they can detect even minute details, especially in moving pictures. I sit 3m away from my 65" 4k TV and I see gigantic differences between 1080p and 4k and you can bet your fucking ass that I'll see a noticeable difference between 4k and 8k from the same distance.

It's mostly due to being used to higher fidelity. I don't expect people to notice the same if they're used to low quality content. I know it's not their fault but I would still appreciate if they stopped making bullshit blanket statements about what looks good to everyone.

3 meters from 65" is right on the edge where higher resolution is worth it, so that viewing distance crap is right on the money.

I bet you won't see any difference between 4K and 8K in the same setting. You are at 130 pixels per degree at 3 meters from 65". That's over twice the resolution 20/20 vision can make out (under the best contrast) You can't physically see the difference between 130 pixels per degree and 260 pixels per degree.

What you see is the difference between shitty upscaling / anti aliasing vs brute force (wasteful) native 4K rendering. A good upscaler from 1440p to 4K will be indistinguishable from native 4K at 3 meters from 65". Even 1080p with DLSS 2.0 stands a good chance of looking the same or better than native 4K rendering without temporal AA.

Also if you're comparing video content, of course 4K streaming looks better since that hardly reaches 1080p quality with compression. Most tvs are also very bad at motion resolution, 4K content / displays compensate a bit.

Anyway a quality tv/display makes a much bigger difference than higher source resolution.

(Switch doesn't have great upscaling and hardly any AA, still looks good but is far removed from something like Samsara on Blu-ray)

Same here, and agree.

Yes 720p crystal clearer than that 4k. Good you enjoy it. Even 1080p PS4 games that are cartoonic seem a little low res for me on 65" since I sit under 6ft from TV.

You can force yourself to play the N64 on the large screen for 30min, and then you go back t the Switch.

Nahhh 720p is excellent, we are going for 4k and then 8k just for shitty and giggles.

same!!

of course 4k would be more than welcome, but not a must

I don't know about the Switch. But I have my old Wii U plugged to the 55'' 4K TV we have on the living room. Most games on the system run at 720p and I had zero problems, even up close. I recently played Super Mario 3D World and Xenoblade Chronicles X and they looked gorgeus to me. Hell, even Wii games like Metroid Prime Trilogy and Goldeneye 007 looked fine at 2 meters from the screen XD
