There is no sharpness difference, you have to be within a foot of my 55" TV to start to notice the LCD mosaic that forms the image and even then it is far from obvious or offensive. I sit approx 7 feet from the 55", approx 3.5 feet from the 40" I use on my desktop productivity machine.
a 4K resolution doesn't replace the need for AA either. Jaggies are still very apparent at 4K resolutions. The reason is simple, they move as what is being rendered moves, and the movement is what causes the saw tooth effect. If you don't anti-alias the edges you will still see saw teeth. At 4K, 5K, even 8K or more.
Reminds me of the CRT days when people would say you don't need AA for 1280x1024! or you don't need AA for 1280x1200! They were wrong then and those saying the same for 4K are wrong now.
LOL
If Gstanford understood why edge aliasing exists, he'd know what he just said is disinformation.

So it’s more than a little significant for me to sit here and write that when you play at 4K, you might be able to turn AA off altogether or get by just fine with an FXAA option.
