I see easily a difference on text rendering on a mac os retina display (3k on 14") vs. 4k 27" oled. 1080p is horrible obvious on basically every display size i own.

And my smartphone or my DSLR take pictures with more than 4k, you can see the image sharpness difference also immediately.

What content is left? Games, but they also have text. Higher resolution, less antialising needed.

The most frustrating thing about this type of discussion is: Its 2025! 4k displays exist for how much in consumer space? 10 years by now?

8k is also nice. Might actually be something i don't pay extra for, but supporting 8k opens up so many possibilities. Like controling 4 4k displays without issues (demo walls, event setups etc.) or just 2 or 3 24/27" displays on your desk.

27" is huge.

I remember comparing 4k macbook with my 1440p samsung, both 14" and it was impossible to say at that screen size.

It isn't huge. On a large desk, my 32" 4K display is great, and easily substitutes two smaller monitors for productivity tasks. It's also very immersive for gaming, even more so now that you have OLED options.
