My God what an obnoxious comment.
It sucks having taste, I know.

Oh I know its true plus it depends on what you looking at tooI partially agree with the OP. Things look a lot smoother at 1080p compared to 720p, but that's the main difference. Games are more limited by the texture resolution IMO, so they don't really look more detailed at higher resolutions much of the time, but under certain conditions or with certain games they do. It's easier on the eyes because you don't see any jaggies, and for me, that's worth it, but it requires a lot more GPU power than the improvement is really worth if your current hardware can't handle it well. Better to have a lower resolution with higher graphics settings and 60 FPS, than a higher resolution with lower graphics settings and 60 FPS, the graphics settings make a bigger difference than the resolution. However FPS is more important than anything else to a certain point. If the FPS gain is massive (like going up 20 FPS, from 20-40 or 40-60 for example), I'll turn down the settings, but if the FPS gain isn't that big and the FPS is already 40+ and doesn't drop much below that, I'm fine with leaving the settings turned up.
As for 4K, you supposedly can't even tell the difference from 1080p unless you have abnormally good eyesight, or you sit way too close to the screen. I'm talking about using a TV as a monitor (or using a 32" monitor) and sitting as close to it as you would a smaller monitor. At that point you would tell the difference easily, but an average person sitting a normal distance away from a TV or a regular-sized monitor wouldn't be able to tell the difference. That's just what I've read on some website, don't remember which one it was but it was one of the big ones. I think they're right though, it obviously depends on your screen and how far away you sit as well as your eyesight, but if I can't see individual pixels and edges look smooth, how is upgrading to 4K going to improve anything?
I didn't notice much of a difference going from a 720p phone to an 1080p one, things might look a tiny bit smoother but it's so miniscule that I can't tell.
tl;dr It really depends on your screen size and how far away you sit whether it's worth it or not. For most people, 4K won't make much of a difference, but there are exceptions of course. 1080p is a reasonable screen resolution and if you have the hardware to run games well at that resolution, it's preferrable, but if you don't, it's not a big loss.
What's more important when it comes to screens nowadays is the color balance, contrast, and such. Those can make a big difference and people might get a better monitor with a higher resolution, but also better color balance and contrast and think the resolution is what makes the difference, simply because it looks better.Oh I know its true plus it depends on what you looking at too
Ohh I know and a good refresh rateWhat's more important when it comes to screens nowadays is the color balance, contrast, and such.

Sure, that matters too, but not that much beyond 60hz. i can easily tell the difference between 60 and 120hz but I'm sure 120hz is rather overkill.Ohh I know and a good refresh rate
Yeah but really for gaming the higher can be bad but for videos 120hz is pretty niceSure, that matters too, but not that much beyond 60hz. i can easily tell the difference between 60 and 120hz but I'm sure 120hz is rather overkill.
You can't even get any videos that are 120hz.Yeah but really for gaming the higher can be bad but for videos 120hz is pretty nice
I meant that watching stuff on 120hz can look goodYou can't even get any videos that are 120hz.
It won't look any better unless the framerate can support it, not really. You simply can't create detail that just isn't there.I meant that watching stuff on 120hz can look good
Well I always thought it effected to way the frames transition but you know more than me.It won't look any better unless the framerate can support it, not really. You simply can't create detail that just isn't there.

Sure, but how often do you watch your own videos? Most of the time when you're watching something, it will be a movie, a TV or a youtube video, none of those are ever available in 120 FPS. YouTube can do 60 FPS now but I think that's the limit.My relatively cheap camera does 120fps, albeit at DVD sizes, various gopros are up around there too at decent res and plenty of cameras that cost a bit do 120fps as well.
