TV in this country is 1080i and some times we get 4Ki but 4Ki is probably only the same quality as Blu Ray 1080p.
Our TV is 1080p and its one of those old ones that does 3D think back like when AVITAR came out at the cinema. Anyway I was watching Rango last night on Blu Ray with 3D enabled. Amazing. What happened to 3D?
The dialect in that film is amazing, just love that southern fried talk.
If you ever seen 3D on an OLED, it's simply stunning. I have an LG E6 and an CX. I just love watching 3D movies on the E6.

Time to visit an optician.
Too much compression will cause artifacts, but it will not make it look 4 times lower res.

To me it does cause compression is worse then it being lower res too me.
PC is only place what you looking at at 1080p or 4k look like it should, so long as it NOT movie/show pre enoceded out side of Bluray.
Everything else horrid amount compression that make res look alot lower then actual is, the less the compression the more true it is to actual res being used. Youtube 1080p isnt even close to 1080p quality let alone there 4k which all made worse by the compression.
And all streaming services are compression the streams,
btw i have 20/20 with glasses on so my glasses arnt issue, and seeing close enough to the screen without my glass to see it, it still look the same cause horrid ammount of compression you have 1080p or even 4k feed that look like shit almost every thing uses, it just most stream do us such extreme compression like youtube or cable/satellite tv
