That's about 55 ppi. 

How is the font ( in game / sim ) looking?? 

 

 

Crystal clear

I went fro 55" 1080P to 70" 4k.  All the difference in the world.  I agree with the above that viewing distance is key.  I'm about ten feet away.  I get the same as I would get three feet away from the 55".  I can see individual whiskers on Aaron Rodgers face.

That's why I asked, actually. 

55 inches 4k has the same ppi as 32 inches full HD 

Hard to make a decision. 

 

 I think you meant 65 inches 4k has the same ppi as 32 inches full HD.

Yes, that's right.

I wouldn't upgrade from 55 inches to 55 inches

I looked at both 55 and 65-inch options when I upgraded to a 4K TV.  At ~1m viewing distance, the individual pixels on the 65" display were pretty clearly visible...on the 55" display I had to work to see them.  I went with the 55-incher...no regrets.

Yes, the pixel density for 55 inches its okay 

I'd really like to have a 65 inches display 5k

His viewing distance is 'about 40 inches'. 

My reference was not as much to his own viewing distance as it was to considering recommendations only from those who provided theirs as well.

I'm not sure what the argument is here. At 10 feet from a 70" TV your FoV will be less than half what it is sitting 3 feet from a 55" TV. Either way, it's going to look sharper (obviously!)

One very " stupid" question 😁

What's the image quality difference between 4k, 55 inches, almost everything on Ultra 

vs

8k, 65 inches, everything on medium 

?? 

The ppi difference is huge 

135 ppi on 65 inches 8k vs 80 ppi on 55 inches 4k

I doubt there's a video card made at present that can push an 8K display's 33.1 Mpx per frame at anything close to an acceptable frame rate.

And even at 30 Hz refresh rate, the bandwidth required would still be double that of a 4K display at 60 Hz.  I'm not convinced yet that HDMI 2.1 can do that reliably.

Theoretically it should work, but the performance for MSFS 2020 @8k would be awful, I'd say
