2k is nice. 4k is pushing the limit of utility, even if you can get content for it (or play games with that resolution if gaming). 8k is beyond any need for any normal person. Maybe if you have a private movie studio you could use it, but I don't think that's what this is discussing.
4k's bump in resolution is nice, but the biggest benefit is the improvement in color (HDR or Dolby Vision).
2k is the best. For pc games it's thr gold standard for me. I can hardly see the difference from between 2k and 4k and my GPU is grateful.
