Maybe it differs for everyone, but I can absolutely tell 720p from 1080p on anything from a 17” flatscreen monitor to a giant TV from almost any reasonable distance!
You’re right about CRTs though—due to how the picture is projected, it’s waaaay more difficult to tell resolutions if you’re watching/playing something. That’s why an N64 looks great on any size CRT, but looks like complete ass on any flatscreen (other than flat CRTs of course, lawl)

the 720p to 1080p is a complete lie, not the 4k to 8k, because that is supported by math
or maybe the couch distance was different back them, and the TVs were smaller there’s that
If you can’t tell 720p from 1080p, you think 30FPS is the same as 60+FPS
in a 50’ display of course, i’m just not sure it that apply to those smaller tube TVs lol
Oh I was agreeing with yer comment hahaha.
