Anyone doubting this need only run a given display rotated 90 degrees. Regarding video, age plays a big role too. An under 30 user may claim to benefit from 8K video, and that is assuming the source material even delivers that resolution in the first place. Over 30 viewers get far less out of 8k, generally speaking, the older they get. And assuming high acuity, there is whether they enjoy the video more. For me, and though I am aged now, learned a long time ago my overall enjoyment peaks at standard HD resolution. Looks more than good enough. Frankly, higher resolution material is not always better. A display can be too good. Sometimes a movie needs to just be a movie. That is harder to do at the very high resolutions. Viewers are taken out of the story when they see effects as effects. The "soap opera" effect can be dramatic! High resolution and high frame rates trigger it increasingly easily.
