I did an empirical test with friends comparing various bitrates and resolutions of the same source (on a 100 inch projector screen with a good 4k projector). I could guess 100% of the time correctly.
I work in tech and I have a bit of a retail component to my job. This includes selling monitors.
I assure you you’re (we’re*–I can also tell the difference easily) in the extreme minority. The vast majority of people buy color and size, not clarity.
That’s why. You notice it because more pixels do help a lot with huge screens. I was watching some old series shot for TV recently, on my 34" monitor it doesn’t look too bad. On my projector with a ~100" screen it looks terrible with artefacts all over the place.
(My monitor is 1440p and the projector is only 1080p but I don’t think it mattered in this case since the source video was 480p)
Odd. I can immediately tell the difference.
