Ihr Ultra-HD-Fernseher ist es möglicherweise nicht wert. Wissenschaftler messen die Auflösungsgrenze des menschlichen Auges. Für ein durchschnittlich großes Wohnzimmer in Großbritannien mit einem Abstand von 2,5 Metern zwischen Fernseher und Sofa würde ein 44-Zoll-4K- oder 8K-Fernseher keinen zusätzlichen Vorteil gegenüber einem Quad-HD-Fernseher (QHD) derselben Größe mit niedrigerer Auflösung bieten.

I’ve linked to the press release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**Is your ultra-HD TV worth it? Scientists measure the resolution limit of the human eye**
According to researchers at the University of Cambridge and Meta Reality Labs, the human eye has a resolution limit: in other words, there are only so many pixels the eye can see. Above this limit, a screen gives our eyes more information than they can detect.
To calculate the resolution limit, the researchers conducted a study that measured participants’ ability to detect specific features in colour and greyscale images on a screen, whether looking at the images straight on or through their peripheral vision, and when the screen was close to them or further away.
The precise resolution limit depends on a number of variables, including the size of the screen, the darkness of the room, and the distance between the viewer and the screen. However, **for an average-size UK living room, with 2.5 metres between the TV and the sofa, a 44-inch 4K or 8K TV would not provide any additional benefit over a lower resolution Quad HD (QHD) TV of the same size**.
The researchers have also developed a free online calculator where users can enter the size of their room and the dimensions and resolution of their TV to determine the most suitable screen for their home. Their results are reported in the journal Nature Communications.

It’s been a rule of thumb for some time now that 4k isn’t worth your time unless you have a television larger than 65 inches.
Watching turbo mega HD feels like watching people acting on-set anyway. Breaks immersion. Gaming on the other hand is much nicer.
