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).
