I enjoy 4k on the monitors I sit only a few inches from all day, but so far I find it hard to justify a whole chain of upgrades for the living room when I think the picture quality already looks great at 10+ feet away or whatever . To be clear, I mean I don't see the need to upgrade the living room from 1080p to 4k, let alone beyond that

It really depends on the size of tv. It's like a cinema screen, you want very high resolutions for that even though it's far away, because it's a large size

It depends on how much of your FOV the screen covers, since it’s the angular resolution of our eyes that matters.

I think mine is 56 or 58 inches. A lot of people have commented that it's large. It feels like the right size to me /shrug

It depends how far it is, and personal preference.

4k makes a massive difference for me on my TV, I'll opt for it whenever I can. But it's all personal preference and circumstance which is good to remember.

Your situation isn't the same as everyone's, theirs a valid use for 1080p but also for 4k

Certainly. I was only talking about my experience. When things break I'll upgrade. But surprisingly to even me when I focus on the video quality on my TV, it's still holding up well
