But is it game over for 8K on the PC, too?

    Still on a 1080p plasma tv. Those old charts showing if you can tell the difference in quality shows at my distance I’d be fine with 720p. Do people sit inches from their 80 inch TV?

      I can 100% tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. I can tell with 1080p and UHD as well, but I honestly think that has more to do with the size of the compression artifacts. Compared to the image.

        I mean, if you have compression artifacts wouldn’t that mean the codec/delivery of the content is the issue and not the resolution.

        I’m pretty sure that most 4k content isn’t actually 4k (especially when streaming). I’d link a source talking about it, but they’re all ad garbage.
