Who here actually has and uses a 4K device? I still haven't gone higher than 1440p, and even on that, I don't mind if my content is 1080p. I rarely even notice.

I have a 4k TV with Max. I am not sure I can clock the difference.

  You may have a quite small TV, or seat quite far from it, or need to get your sight checked. Perhaps it’s time to wear glasses or changes your glasses. I used to not care about 4K but after I got my eyes sight fixed, 4K against fullHD is quite easy to distinguish. I’m not sure it’s worth the price bump though.

    No, yes(ish) and maybe. 75" TV. Big living room, middle age.

Most modern tvs are 4k these days and 1080p vs 4k is very visible in these

  The only TV I use is a 32'' Vizio from about ten years ago. I guess I'm just not the target audience.

  Not at the shitty bitrates we're getting in the USA.

Plenty of people have 4k screens on their computers. Even my laptop has one and it wasn't super expensive. I wouldn't go back below 4k for working, but I don't really care much for it when watching movies.

I have a big-ass 4k projector screen. The space I have it in is a little cramped, so the front row has the viewer’s eyeballs only about 5’ from it. Truly? The difference between a really good 1080p source and a 4k source isn’t that large. I kinda worried when I got it that it’d ruin 1080p for me and I’d start running out of disk space from all the 4k, but no, not at all. I go 4k for special movies where I care about that little extra bit of quality, but really, it’s not like good 1080p looks obviously pixelated or anything. It’s totally fine. Still feels like being at the movies. 720p’s dodgy, especially from the front row, but even that’s not as awful as I expected it to be. Though you can definitely tell.
