I can immediately tell when a game is running at 1080p on my 2K monitor (yeah, I’m not interested in 4K over higher refresh rate, so I’m picking the middle ground.)
Its blatantly obvious when everything suddenly looks muddy and washed together.
Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes

4k is way better than 1080p, it’s not even a question. You can see that shit from a mile away. 8k is only better if your TV is comically large.

I think that’s relevant to the discussion though. Most people sit like two feet from their gaming monitor and lean forward in their chair to make the character go faster.
But most people put a big TV on the other side of a boring white room, with a bare white ikea coffee table in between you and it, and I bet it doesn’t matter as much.
I bet the closest people ever are to their TV is when they’re at the store buying it…

As someone who has a 4k monitor, 1440p is a great middle ground for gaming

I think you overestimate the quality of many humans’ eyes. Many people walk around with slightly bad vision no problem. Many older folks have bad vision even corrected. I cannot distinguish between 1080 and 4k in the majority of circumstances.

And the size of most people’s TV versus how far away they are.

I used to have 20/10 vision, this 20/20 BS my cataract surgeon says I have now sucks.

Seriously. Eyes basically disprove intelligent design because they’re kinda shitty at what they do.
