My gaming rig is also my media center hooked up to a 4k television. I sit around 7 feet away from it. Anything less than 1440p looks grainy and blocky on my display.

I can't game at 4k because of hardware limitations (a 3070 just can't push it at good framerates) but I wouldn't say it's a waste to go above 1080p, use case is an important factor.

My TV has this stupid bullshit where it's only 30hz at 1440p but is 60hz at literally every other resolution (including 4K). 😬
