    I can immediately tell when a game is running at 1080p on my 2K monitor (yeah, I’m not interested in 4K over higher refresh rate, so I’m picking the middle ground.)

    Its blatantly obvious when everything suddenly looks muddy and washed together.

      As someone who has a 4k monitor, 1440p is a great middle ground for gaming

      I think that’s relevant to the discussion though. Most people sit like two feet from their gaming monitor and lean forward in their chair to make the character go faster.

      But most people put a big TV on the other side of a boring white room, with a bare white ikea coffee table in between you and it, and I bet it doesn’t matter as much.

      I bet the closest people ever are to their TV is when they’re at the store buying it…
