Start near the end at 15:00 minutes. The beginning is the history of resolution-evolution.

As my current screen to play JNPG is 15 feet wide by 8 feet tall and I stand 8 feet from it when hitting, I'm planning for a 4k projector one day. But, for you couch or desktop operators, yeah, probably a law of diminishing returns.

But, it's questionable what the screen itself may do to those pixels. They are currently corrugated fabrics and may not be capable of resolving enough pixels to be worth it either.

Technical aspects aside, all I know is that Red Dead Redemption 2 looks markedly better on my 65" TCL 4K HDR TV than on my 55" LG LED HDTV at any distance.

Yea - I often think when points like this are made it's often to grab some attention.  I'm not talking about Crusher making an attention grab - I'm talking about the author of the video.

 

He's probably TECHNICALLY right but if 4K looks better than 1080P then it simply looks better.  Whether we notice the full benefit of it TECHNICALLY doesn't really matter to me or most anyone else.  I mean - they are already talking 8K at this point and there's no doubt that 8K looks better than 4K.
