With virtually no content and limited benefits, 8K TVs were doomed.

    I’d be surprised if the average person can differentiate 720p and 4k

      I legitimately cannot tell the difference between 1080 and 4k, however I do wear glasses.

      But 720 feels like garbage to me.

      Depends on the screen size and distance.

        At a typical screen size and distance

          I mean that’s vague.

          I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.

            I don’t think so. Average TV size: 40-50"? Average distance: 6 feet?

              To be fair, recall how microscopic TVs used to be not so long ago.

                Yeah but I’m not talking about not so long ago, I’m talking about now
