    For me its resolution. The jump from 480p standard box to 720/1080p was night and day revolution. Meanwhile a 4k image looks maybe 10-15%sharper to my eye but takes up 4x the storage space. Whenever I voice this people say that I must be blind if I can’t tell a difference. I’d rather have the disc space and know my software collection is well optimized with reasonable file sizes instead of buying 22tb worth of ssds in a network cluster with a nvidia 80000 to play the latest AAA

      It depends on how far away from your monitor you are. I could never go back to gaming in 1080p because the difference is extreme. And if I could go even higher in resolution I would.
