There's no difference side-by-side between 1080p and 4K resolution if you're 5ft or further away from the TV[1], all else being equal.

However, all else is rarely equal, and 4K TVs now have lots of other features and technology that make them just better (prettier) buys in general.

> A person with 20/20 vision

I'm honestly wondering if I'm an outlier and may have better than 20/20 vision. I would think it's pretty rare, but I have had people comment on my vision before. I work on a 17" 4k laptop screen with tiny text no prob.

Charts like this always get brought up, but I'm not sure there is much rigor in creating them.
