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

But 720 feels like garbage to me.

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?
