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 :)

And I'm still here with a 1080p TV. Because my previous ISP had data caps, I'm not convinced my current ISP won't move to data caps, and there isn't a lot of good 1080p content out there besides DVD/BluRay and my Rips, let alone 5k or 8k content.

    I think resolution is just a tiny part of why newer TVs are so much better than a 10yo TV. there is better contrast, HDR, more brightness, angle of vision, etc.

    1080p content will look better in a good 4k TV and not just because the resolution.
