Depends on screen size and distance. Here's a nice graph:

I do recommend an OLED or QLED, though.

Perfect answer. For most people, no. I actually did make the jump to a 4k TV and sit close enough to it that I can visibly see the difference. About 8 feet from a 65" TV, still barely in the "Ultra HD Worth It" category.

It truly is ridiculously large for the space, everyone who visits us comments on it. My wife likes to joke when we watch Make Some Noise that the people are "life size". If you don't have a small living room and aren't planning at least a 65" or larger TV, than it's almost certainly not worthwhile.

Crazy to me that most AAA console games push 4k as the standard at the expense of 60FPS, given these realities.

Who the hell has a 100 inch tv less than the height of an average Scandinavian man away??

You probably wouldn't even be able to see the edge of the picture in your peripheral vision, let alone have enough of it in focus to be able to have a solitary clue what's going on in any movie scene or video game action sequence or whatever 😄

Doesn't really look like it then, though all the OLED and QLED were 4k.

It did make me wonder what quantum led means though.
