If you got a 1080p screen back then and haven't moved to a higher res since, then maybe there's some truth to that.
oh dude i'm still using the screens i had 20 and 10 years ago. one is 1366x788, the other 1680x1050. they work so why buy new ones? or steal them from the firms i occasionally consult with? oh that's a good idea.
I was on 1680x1050 too (I had a 20"), then moved to 2560x1440 (27"), and now recently to 5120x2160 (40"). Every such upgrade has been meaningful for me, and still, it's not something I do every year. The first 27" I bought is almost 10 years old at this point.
Depends on what you do, of course - but for me, even just scrolling through text feels better on a higher refresh rate and higher resolution.
