A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

If you’re sitting 3’ from the screen, sure. Even 8K is better, if your hardware can drive it.
Let’s agree to disagree. I can see the difference at a distance of 6’, and I wear glasses.
Can you see the difference without your glasses?
Not as much, but yes. However, it may be because now I’m actively looking for the difference after this thread, hehe.
Yeah… we have a 55" 4K tv, and from across the room you sort of have to squint to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p, up close sure, but I don’t watch screens that big from that close.
Next year, when our house construction is completed, I need to choose 2 new TVs, an 85 and a 65. At this point I’m looking for longevity more than all the marketing sticker BS being pushed now. I will probably go with a couple of Scepter non-smart TVs and just keep running my media from Jellyfin with a couple of NUCs attached to them, hehe.
The closest thing to “Smart TVs” in our home are Blu-Ray players, and they’ve never been network connected.
I like the ViewSonics we have, and we’ve had a series of NUCs over the years, but lately I’m finding that the N100/N150 fanless PCs like this are perfectly capable of HTPC duty: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWV439YW
