Resolution vs Effects (Gaming)

When huge swaths of people are now playing on 60”+ televisions, it’s an extremely noticeable jump. I sit about four and half feet from my 55” and anything at 1080p looks noticeably worse.

Movie screens are upward of 25 FEET, and 2K is still the majority standard for mastering and projection. That's changing (pretty soon more than half of releases will be 4K), but there's a reason the standard was set at 2K in the Cineon file format so long ago… it was determined 2K was 'enough' resolution, and what mattered more was color gamut and detail.
