Article doesn't mention AI upres tech like DLSS, which could be the future. My experience on 4k monitors is that DLSS is noticably better than 1080, and not much worse than native 4k. Don't know about 8k, but I think 4k is a sweet spot for TVs.

Most TVs already do this upscaling but they smoothen things like skin textures. DLSS is an entirely different thing, right? DLSS only helps with renders that happen on hardware like games,digital art etc. NVidia has this thing called super resolution (that was recently included in VLC too)

You're right, DLSS is specifically for games, I forgot "super resolution" was the name for the Nvidia model that runs in full screen mode, which I've used and is pretty cool, seemingly better than automatic upscaling in TVs.

4k is great and a noticeable improvement for computer work, while I agree with the article about not being so useful for TV screens, unless you go 55-inch or larger.

Source: I own a FullHD 40” TV set and a 43” 4k monitor. I once tried swapping them and watched 4k footage, and quality difference was not significant IMHO.

But you can notice pixels at fullhd on larger screens ofc - noticed them on a 55” and a 65” TV set.

Oh, yeah important caveat for sure. If you go to the store now many TV brands don't even sell mid/high level TVs smaller than 55", unless they are intended for gaming (probably expected to sit closer).
