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 :)

I think you overestimate the quality of many humans' eyes. Many people walk around with slightly bad vision no problem. Many older folks have bad vision even corrected. I cannot distinguish between 1080 and 4k in the majority of circumstances. Stick me in front of a computer and I can notice, but tvs and computers are at wildly different distances.

And the size of most people's TV versus how far away they are.

Yeah a lot of people have massive TV's if your into sport but most people have more reasonable sized TV's.

I used to have 20/10 vision, this 20/20 BS my cataract surgeon says I have now sucks.

Oh look I'm a human I only have two arms and can't even squirt ink at people. Oh ha ha I have all these stupid bones so if I'm locked in a prison I can't get out, like a loser.

Seriously. Eyes basically disprove intelligent design because they're kinda shitty at what they do.
