It really all comes down to personal taste and that may very well be
affected by the quality of your eyesight among other things.  I've
always been a pixel freak, wanting to push the res up as high as
possible, even at the expense of frame rates when it had to be so.  I
got my first (30Hz) 4K TV at the end of last year, and consider
1080i/p to be the new "SD" baseline below which you really don't want
to go.

The 1440p display on the Note 4 is pretty nice.  Normally I can't see
the pixels, unless I put it in a Google Cardboard, of course, which
makes it look like 1995 again.
