A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

The point is that under the best conditions up close centimeters away from your face you can just about see 0.1. And we’re talking 4 times that two meters away.
Text on the modern tv does look better though. Bu how much of that is that all the technology got better, colours are more uniformed, the light emmiters are more consistent, there is less dead space, etc.
It’s like that old gimmick with cameras and megapixels. Cameras were getting better, but not because the number of megapixels was bigger, still that’s the only number everyone cared about, so they started selling numbers that didn’t make any physical sence.
