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 :)

    simply incorrect. in some circumstances sure 1080p is sufficient, but if the tv is big, close, or both. then 4k is a definite and noticeable improvement.

    4k looks sharper as long as the actual content is real 4k, even from afar.

        well yes a microscopic 4k display is no different than a 1080p one to our eyes.

        but theyre claiming it doesnt matter on TVs in the usual setting which is just untrue.
