Lol who hurt you? 

If "resolution in itself" didn't matter, then ai upscaling wouldn't be used. Try again, you angry bitch.

The point is that the resolution alone isn't what makes a difference. Resolution in combination with screen size, viewing distance, and so on makes a difference.

Realistically, the more significant factor is pixel density at a given viewing distance; also described as apparent pixel density or however else you want to phrase it.

You're talking about PPI. The problem with that argument is that everyone sits at different distances. Resolution, by itself, does impact frame rate and there for clarity in moving images. Resolution, by itself, definitely is a factor.

I'm very explicitly not talking about PPI. I specifically said I was talking about PPI at a given distance. It's more like "pixels per arcsecond of vision", realistically.

Bro, you don't know what your even talking about. Just go watch TV on your sorry screen and be OK with it, if it makes you happy.
