I for the life of me don't even care about 4k. 1080p to me is as good as it gets, sometimes I watch shows in 720p and occasionally even 480p if it's a significantly smaller file.
The higher the quality, the more fake CGI and special effects look. All the insane contrast, colors, details, it's all so extremity fake and unreal. Plus, when you're used to 4k and see something in 1080p, it looks shit. If you're used to 1080p, it looks great.
I hear you there. BUT the only time I think resolutions beyond 1080p actually do make sense is in a computer monitor. When you sit super close to something like that, lower resolutions are more obvious. I have a 23 inch 1080p monitor that I use in my setup. To me, text and whatnot has always felt a bit "blurry" and dissatisfying compared to my 13 inch 1080p laptop screen at the same viewing distance.
On a TV setup, the average person sits much too far away to notice a difference in 1080p vs 4k. You have to be sitting only a few inches away to notice, like in a computer setup. At that level, it really DOES make a difference imo. So in that regard, companies like Apple seemed to understand this when they have different resolutions for their "retina displays" depending on their products. At least, that's how it was like 10 years or so ago with them. Idk how they do things now.
Viewing distance is the important bit in the "resolution wars"...not simply increased resolution for the sake of it.
