My recommendation is try not to pay attention.

Once you hear the difference in sound quality / see difference in image quality you cannot undo it.

I have become very picky with display resolution and text clarity, and it has not served me well. I miss the days I was happy with a 1080p monitor.

Well, nobody should be happy with 16:9 aspect ratio, but as you get older you may find that your happiness with a lower pixel pitch returns... ;-)

In 2011 I had a 28" 1080p monitor I thought was amazing. Like ground breaking enjoyment using it for my sales job inside the CRM.

Now if you ask me that monitor is causing eye damage and I rather not use the computer that day vs use it.
