I have to agree here. Even today when (as the blog claims) 4K is "here", I had to specifically request even a 2560x1440 display at work for the modest amount of video and photo editing I do here. I spoiled myself at home with a similar display (one of the barebones 2560x1440 models they used to sell at Microcenter) and going to 1920x1080 at work was killing me.
I'm sure that a lot of it depends on usage (when doesn't it?) and even web browsing involved a lot of CTRL-scrolling the first time I visit a page to scale the text and images up. Still, being able to work on plain old 1080p video with room for a timeline and tools is incredibly useful and moving from a TN panel to IPS made it easier to get more accurate colors.
On one hand, the number of cheap 1920x1080 TN panels that have trickled down to even cheap notebook and desktop displays is a good thing but it seems like we're just starting to see better than that now that 4K and 5K are hitting the high end. Outside of watching movies, I can't think of anywhere that 1920x1080 would be all you'd want.
