There is a minuscule, if any difference between 1080p and 4K on a 40-50 inch screen. You need to sit 10 feet from a 150 inch screen to fully resolve 4K over 1080p. This is optics and human biology. Meanwhile you are using horsepower to render 4x the pixels. You will improve the image in much more demonstrable ways by using that GPU power for more shaders and graphical effects. There is a huge sacrifice to 4K, and very little if any gain.>

On the other hand, for those of us without a lot of space, we can get a bigger TV, sit closer and have a true home theater experience without needing as much dedicated space.

Believe me. I am a stickler for quality. I purposely saw Dunkirk on a real IMAX screen with real IMAX film rolling through the projector. Wasting that on the dinky screen of your local multiplex was unthinkable.

Man, I wish there was a 70mm IMAX less than 3 hours away.
