| Resolution is much less important for video than it is for text and user interfaces. |

| ▲ | rkomorn 6 days ago | parent [-] | | This is exactly why I went to 4K. Used to have a 27" 2560x1440 monitor at home. Got a 4K 27" at work, and when I got home, the difference was big enough that I (eventually) decided to upgrade the home monitor. |

| Unless the screen is right in front of your face, video codecs and their parameters matter more than FHD vs UHD, IMO. At least to me, with corrected vision, a high quality 1080p video looks better than streaming quality 4k at the same distance. |

| I also have perfect vision in terms of focal length - but it turns out I have astigmatism in opposite axises in both eyes. Glasses make a huge difference when watching TV, and are the dividing line between being able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p and not being able to discern any. |

| I’m 3m from my TV and I can absolutely tell 4K from 1080p, but it is indeed subtle. But a fraction of that distance to my monitor makes even 4K barely good enough. I’d need a much smaller 4K monitor to not notice pixels. |
