Monitors you’re sitting 2 feet (60.96 cm) from are about the only place 4k makes any sense. The fact that it barely makes any sense in a movie theatre is exactly why most theatres are still using 2k projectors. In the home it makes absolutely no sense. You can’t practically buy a TV big enough to make the resolution worthwhile. Take a 60" (152.4 cm) 1080p set and sit 8 feet (243.84 cm) from it. You’re at the resolution threshold for the average eye. In other words, a 60" (152.4 cm) 4k TV would look EXACTLY the same as the 1080p set at that distance. You’d need a 120" (304.8 cm) 4k TV at 8 feet (243.84 cm) to get the most from the extra resolution. But do you want to sit only 8 feet (243.84 cm) from a 120" (304.8 cm) TV? I wouldn’t want to, but that’s me. How much is a 120" (304.8 cm) 4k set? That’s right. heh. 😉
