Hey Happymedium, it's not simply the ability to discern individual pixels like some sites/charts try to base everything upon. Even if one had say, flawed 20/80 vision but didnt bother to put his glasses on, 720 gaming on a big screen would still look considerably blurrier than 1080p even though he still could not discern individual pixels of the 720p resolution. Things still look smoother, clearer, and sharper to the guy with poor eyesight. It's why 4x AA looks nice even on 4K renderings, even if we cannot discern an individual 4K pixel on its own from the same distance. I think its just that when the overall pattern is more crisp, it helps our imperfect eyes to do "half of the work" better.
