Netflix streaming looks worst on my 150" screen. Some shows are watchables but some are simply junk bitrate wise to the point I get huge posterisation effects/pixels. The quality of the content itself is another issue. For movies I just get the disk and store it forever with r.volution NAS(aka old zappiti NAS)

4K at 150" would look like crap. Do any streaming services support 8K? That is a lot of bandwidth and decode overhead.

I mean it would really depend how close you're sitting to the screen, wouldn't it?

The parent post said it looks pixelated. So, yes distance matters but is not relevant to my post because they already said it looks bad.
