Not this resolution debate again... 

And also, streaming can not compare to disc. There are much lower bitrates for streaming than on discs and they are often adaptive to cope with changing network conditions, lag etc. 

The distance is to me an irrelevant parameter here. I mean to say that I don't consider farther from the screen being necessary better.

Now to stay off-topic, we know 4k televisions' resolution can only be appreciated on a big screen (probably bigger than 30")... now tell me, how are customers supposed to bring them home!? I'm not buying it :\

You don't get the point. It is not about the size of the screen. It is all about the sharpness of the picture.

Some time ago I got Mac with 13" retina display (2560x1600 resolution) and worked on it exclusively for a few months. When I came back home to my usual 24" display with 1920x1080 resolution, whenever I looked at it I saw squares everywhere.

I can most certainly appreciate the high resolution even on a smaller screen.
