After 1080p60 I kind of still notice a difference, but I'm not willing to pay much more for increasing that further.

    I need 4k to be happy, with 1080, you have giant windows in you OS (like most apps are only usable in fullscreen) even on 100% and still see single pixels so well…

    Straight unusable for me, maybe on a phone with max 5” there 1080 is like a good middle ground (battery vs resolution vs not seeing single pixels)

    Yeah, 1080p is fine on a small laptop screen, or a small TV on the other side of the room, but it's unusable for desktop applications. Even 1440 is noticeably low res. I disagree about phones, though. I think 1080p is overkill and 720p is fine.

    I think, with phones, it is very important to factor the size of screen in

    720p is fine, but with 7”+ phones, I think, one is happy about having similar DPI compared to the smaller 720p phones.
