alt Hacker NewsYour example contradicts you.
2K, 4K, and 8K+ TVs have been around forever, and although 4K has become the norm, it's widely accepted that there isn't much benefit for most people above 1080p

Is it? By whom? For larger TVs, closer distance, or a combination of the two, there absolutely is value from 4k. https://i.rtings.com/images/optimal-viewing-distance-televis...
Though I'm unlikely to ever upgrade from 1440p on my computer, personally.
It depends on TV size. If you've ever experienced Netflix on a 75" TV, 1080p content looks mediocre on it. So really it's better expressed as "there isn't much benefit for most TV sizes."
Yeah, but that's based on a hard limits, the physics of the eye. The example was poorly chosen.
Depends on distance and size, there is a lovely chart. My projector at 10 feet away is night and day difference at 4k. Mathematically 8k should look identical, so I haven’t spent the money to try it to confirm.
The 1080p thing is true in the age of 40” TVs but not so much now, think Costco has a 95” TV if not 100”.
