2018 QUESTION: See Chart to determine your 4K UHD Distance and Screen Size?

[Visitor2014]

Unbelievable!

This BEGS the questions!

1. What size and model of TV do you have?
   
   
2. Using a measuring tape from where your eyes are to the very front of the screen, how many feet distance is there?
   
   
3. Do you have in your standard BLURAY collection the 2011 release of the 1982 movie titled Blade Runner (The Final Cut) ?

______________________________________________

I was shocked!

I have purchased three (3) Big Screens since 2014!

All of my 2014- 2018 purchases for my "bedroom" have been 65" screens. I went from a 2014 Samsung 65" LED to a 2017 Samsung 65" 4K Ultra HD LED TV to a most recent 65" LG 4K Ultra HD OLED TV.

So . . . the shock I experienced a few days ago was coming across the above image chart (which is posted "everywhere" in the internet with deep anaylasis as to what should be expected when I insert a Blu-ray or a 4K Blu-ray.

My eyes to screen distance for the last four years has been 12 feet.

My eyes to screen distance for the last 48 hours has been 8 feet.

QUESTION:
What the heck does a regular Blu-Ray supposed to look like?

MY FINDING:
What I "thought" was UHD (4K) is actually just good ol' 1080 Blu-ray stuff! That's because the chart says at 12 feet for my 65" OLED set, I am right on the border of 1080 . . . and no where near the Ultra HD (4K) experience.

BEING REALISTIC:
The chart says for me to move the Screen closer my bed (actually my eyeballs) so as to be from 4 Feet to a little over 8 1/2 Feet. (No way will I have my nose 4 feet from the screen!) I settled on 8 1/2 feet.

WHAT TO DO WITH BLU-RAY COLLECTION:
I have been collecting films since the VHS days. I amassed a new collection in the 90's when DVDs came out. Then I started on Blu-rays. The 4K revolution (for me) is going to be a snail pace by choice. True, the spectacular LD OLED technology does wonders with making a standard Blu-ray look better these days . . . but is "better"? How much "better" do I need to make it look?? My goal is to now revisit all of my standard Blu-rays and see if they POP before my eyes with a wow-factor. If so, then I will save thousands of dollars.

Here is an excellent superb source which includes why our eyeballs may not see any difference (the science of the retina effect) between 720 DVD and 4K UHD:
