I don't even bother with 4k anymore because 4k playback from plex to chromecast is such a shitshow (I really need to try plex alternatives. I really want AMD hardware encoding and a less glitched app). Its not like I have some high end 80" tv with oled blacks or whatever anyhow, and I don't sit 3 feet away from my very modestly sized TV so I can't tell much difference unless I'm really looking, even dropping down to 1080. Plus I got scammed by an ISP so I'm back to dogshit upload speeds, so anything above 1080 isn't going to be viewable from outside of my home.
I only do 4K for action oriented films. Most movies, especially drama ones, do not need to be in such a high resolution. Once I'm enjoying the story the diff between 4k and 1080 does not matter at all.
