So a 60 inch 4k TV from 4+ feet away is the limit of the human retina to differentiate the pixels.
According to that nonsense a 1080p screen from 8' should be "retina" however I notice a *huge* difference between 1080p and 4k at that viewing distance on a 55" screen.
IMO the definition of "retina" is too low of a DPI.
I 'm sure if you have two of the same model TV's, with the same quality screens, with just different picture sizes, you could not tell the difference if you used the link I gave you.
My buddy is a optometrist and he agrees. This is not an opinion, its science.
I believe your e-peen and wallet are playing tricks on your eyes.
unless your superman?
edit: My pop has a $1,300 37 inch Vizio from 10+ years ago and my 250$ 40 inch Hisense TV puts his to shame at the same viewing distance.
on the other hand he also has a 2003, 2,500$ 40" Sony xbr tube tv that's blows most TV's out of the water at any distance.
