My 60" TV is so far away from the couch that my Steam Deck's screen in my hands is the same perceived size. Depending on what you're watching, the difference between 1080P and 4k isn't _that_ noticeable at that distance. What really makes a difference is HDR. Also note that lower-res content is often way more compressed, which makes it much more noticeable.

You bring up another great point: higher rez with shitty compression or artifacting looks wayyy shittier than lower rez with good compression! Quick edit: unfortunately for most any steaming service, you get shitty compression AND low rez through a browser D:
