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 :)

    4k with shit streaming bitrate is barely better than high bitrate 1080p

    But full bitrate 4k from a Blu-ray IS better.

      Full Blu-Ray quality 1080p sources will look significantly better than Netflix 4K.

      Hence why “4K” doesn’t actually matter unless your panel is gigantic or you’re sitting very close to it. Resolution is a very small part of our perceived notion of quality.
