Odds are close to 100% that if you walk up to the edge of any wall in your house and put your nose to it you will notice that there is aliasing style bumps and pocksĀ in the paint on the walls. Even high gloss paint, which almost no one uses, has them. Do you notice aliasing on your walls as you walk around? Waxing, polishing and buffing would remove it for you, but for some reason I doubt you do that
Aliasing becomes *significantly* less noticeable with increased pixel density. If you are comparing 1080p w/4x AA to 4K without AA, 4K is superior- and it truly isn't even remotely close(edge aliasing is somewhat close, texture filtering is *vastly* superior with increased resolution).
Compare 800x600 w/4x AA to 1600x1200- it is a joke of course, quadrupling pixel density slaughters shitty AA(even stochastic super sampling wouldn't hold up very well).
BTW- Blurred together pixels is exactly what AA does, that is what you are seeing with AA, not without(not being able to discern individual pixels is a limitation of the eyes, not a function of the display).
LOL, WOW, AMEN THAT, BEN!!!

Same reason why 4K is better than 4K downsampled to 1080p, Gstan!
