    the 720p to 1080p is a complete lie, not the 4k to 8k, because that is supported by math

    or maybe the couch distance was different back them, and the TVs were smaller there’s that

      If you can’t tell 720p from 1080p, you think 30FPS is the same as 60+FPS

          Oh I was agreeing with yer comment hahaha.

          Maybe it differs for everyone, but I can absolutely tell 720p from 1080p on anything from a 17” flatscreen monitor to a giant TV from almost any reasonable distance!

          You’re right about CRTs though—due to how the picture is projected, it’s waaaay more difficult to tell resolutions if you’re watching/playing something. That’s why an N64 looks great on any size CRT, but looks like complete ass on any flatscreen (other than flat CRTs of course, lawl)
