It's hard to explain without visual aid. comparing 4k with 2k:Nemesis-301 wrotehow much of a difference can you see between 1080p vs 2K vs 4K?
at 4k the entire image is in your face more, like really in your face. You feel everything is so sharp and stands out. If let's say you are standing infront of a tree in a game and you look at it.It's not that you will see more things in 4k no. you will see the same detail. The difference in detail only shows if lets say you are looking at snow, or sand. you can see individual grains. Also objects that are far away look clearer. Those two scenarios are where the differences are most obvious. but the rest of the time, the most obvious difference is how much "in your face" the image can be! Don't under estimate how much of an effect that has! It's the little things that show more detail.The curves on the tree trunk may look the same, you can see them at both resolutuons. However, they will have more depth to them at 4k.everything seems to have different depths, like looking from a window not at a flat picture.It's layer after layer after layer of depth.Not in the actual number of details you see,unless its a far away object or something so small like sand or snow. I hope I'm making some sense.
