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 :)

8k is a little high. I feel like 4k is a significant change from 1080p, especially if you use your screen as a computer monitor.

Yes, as a monitor, if it's over 30" or so, 4k makes sense. If it's a TV, 4k doesn't make much difference given how far most sit from their TV. Maybe if it's a massive TV or something at like 80"...
