A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

If you have to pan your head you are sitting too close. But the alleged recommended distances were multiples of that. It might not have been exactly 10ft for 27" I was just giving a ballpark example, but it was ludicrous numbers.

This is a far cry from the charts making the rounds in the DVD / CRT era. I wish I could somehow dig those out.

I didn't run across it. But then I am pretty insulated, I mostly hang out at ATOT.
 
the human eye doesn't see in pixels nor frames per second.

your brain interprets what your eyes see, and "by design" discards lots of information just keeping enough to decide what are you seeing.

That's why the more you look at a picture, the more detail you discover. In motion it's even worse, plus add motion blur to thar. You can train your brain to keep as much information as possible not just on your center view, but also your peripheral view. highly trained Fighter pilots can discern images and details in less than 1/250th of a second.
 
It's funny I actually have a nice high quality 55" 1080p Samsung TV that's over 10 years old and a lot of people think it's a new 4K TV just because garbage compression on streaming services has completely ruined people's baseline for 4K content.

Good uncompressed 1080p (off a blue ray) looks way better than streamed color and pixel crushed compressed 4K streams every day of the week.

TV is also just on a TV stand about 5' away from the couch so it's not even one of those "TV is too high and too far away" situations.
