December 19, 20214 yr 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. Roy i7-10700 CPU @2.90 GHz, 32 GB Ram, nVadia GTX1660ti, Samsung 1 TB SSD Drive

December 19, 20214 yr 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.

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!)

December 19, 20214 yr Author 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 Edited December 19, 20214 yr by Sphynnx I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 64 GB DDR5 | Asus Z790 | RTX 5090 | 8K Samsung Q900C 75" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5

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.
