I feel like resolution wasn't much of an issue even at 1080p. It was plenty. Especially at normal viewing distances.
The real advantages are things like HDR and higher framerates including VRR. I can actually see those.
I feel like we're going to have brighter HDR introduced at some point, and we'll be forced to upgrade to 8K in order to see it.
Ehhhh, I think 1080p is definitely serviceable, it's even good enough for most things. However, I think 1440p and 4k are both a pretty noticeable improvement for stuff like gaming. I can't go back to 1080p after using my 3440x1440 monitor.
I notice more on my PC. Being up close I can see individual pixels. And for productivity software, the higher resolution wins every time.
On a 55" TV, sitting 3 metres away, no real difference for me. I'd rather have extra frames than extra pixels.
And that's for gaming. With good quality video, I can't see any difference at all.
Depends entirely on the size of the screen.
A normal monitor is fine on 1080p
But once you go over 40", a 4K is really nice
