Pretty sure my eyes max out at 4K. I can barely tell the difference between 4K and 1080P from my couch.

Try BD vs UHD BD on a modern movie. No Country for Old Men for example. Hugely noticeable.

Yeah. Another one for me was Deadpool, because the texture of his outfit actually feels real on the 4K disc in a way that it doesn’t in HD.

Whenever I see people point at math equations “proving” that it’s impossible to tell the difference from a comfortable viewing distance, I think of Deadpool’s contours.

Can I identify the individual pixels in HD? Nope. Does it make a difference? Yes definitely.
