For me it's not so much the difference in resolution, but the fact that due to low resolution being the norm, all the on-screen text tend to be huge. This is readily noticeable for the credit text in TV shows (not so much for movies, which seem to have barely legible credit text going way back).

People get trained on what's supposed to be nice. There are people who will insist that anything less that 2K resolution on their computer monitor physically hurts their eyes and brain.

Blur can cause eye strain, and eye strain hurts. I don't think that's a weird thing to say.

Also "2K" is mess of a term people shouldn't use. By better definitions it should mean either almost-1080p or a loose term for 1080p. 1440p is often called 2K but it really isn't. 2560x1440 is 2.5K if anything.

I guess? But once I went to two 2.5k 32”coupled with 120hz it was hard to go back. It didn’t “physically hurt” in a very noticeable way, but I’m also definitely less tired and leaning over less frequently now.
