The reason that most people can’t see a difference here is because YouTube compresses the video quality to look worse. In person you can tell a lot more of a difference between 1080p and 4k
Edit: this is also a 1080p short so telling a difference here is near impossible lol

as long my pc is running well then im happy about it

Resolution doesnt matter as much as pixel density. If your screen is too big for a certain resolution its gonna look bad no matter what resolution it is. Even 1080p can look sharper than 4K if the screen size is right

Meanwhile running your 1080p - 4k comparison on short in 360p ( maxUhdd ) and thinking ooh that is the difference 😂😂

I think the bigger factor is whether the display is OLED or not. LED washes out colors so that enemies further away that are smaller are more difficult to make out. The higher resolution plus an OLED for the better contrast and clarity, imo makes the difference for picture qualitt.

I use a 120hz 4k 43" tv. Whenever i play fps games i switch to 1080p because it just runs faster. Its weird but i just seem to miss way more shots in 4k. Shame too because some games graphics are amazing in 4k

I wish yt shorts actually let you change resolution

Just an fyi, this video is uploaded in 1080p

The thing is I'm using FHD monitor watching the video! 😂

1440p is the sweet spot. It runs on a lot of videocards nowadays. I play Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mafia Definitive Edition at 1440p with a 2060 super. Sure it's a decent card still but kinda old. With technology like DLSS, FSR and Xess, 1440p is easier to run.

1080p is still decent tho.

you need a monitor that support 4k quality

[andonandonov]

Actually the important metric is PPI. Higher PPI is better if you look for a small details in the graphics or just reading a text on the screen.

I just got a 4K monitor. Keep 1080p for performance because upgrading is a drug. You always feel like you need something better. Especially trying not to spend a ton on a graphics card

If it "can sometimes be hard to see a difference" then its not worth the money.

Even if you were doing 8k vs 1080p I couldn’t tell the difference because I’m using a 1080p display

[dulalboro]

YouTube automatically switched from 4k to 144p because my wifi bar dropped 💀

[heatblast-uptf]

sharper"
me: is it? cause i see no difference here 😂

[tacotown]

I can totally tell looking at this on my several year old smartphone

I like the series s on my 50 inch 4k tv. I set the xbox to 4k but all it does is upscale the stand resolution of the game to fit the size of your tv, looks super good tbh
