I think a pleasant user experience in 1080p is a great deal personally.


I also think 4k is oversold. From the couch 10 feet away, a 4k tv and 1080p tv will look the same.


higher resolution also makes CGI looks worse, plausibly from being passable to just distracting.


Also makes it annoying for gaming because suddenly you need a lot more horsepower to do the same thing. E.g. you need to shell out for the Xbox one series X (not the xbox one X, confusing as it is) if you want "proper" 4k to play the same exact games as the almost 10 year old xbox one can play on 1080p. For PC gamers, you will probably need to upgrade your graphics card if you want to have the same framerate you expect from 1080p gaming, certainly not a cheap prospect these days with crypto people buying up GPUs.
