Based on that, of course, then UHD/4K, with twice the resolution in both directions relative to 1920x1080 HDTV, will be ideal at 1.75 times the picture height, assuming that everything works in a linear way. I am probably sitting about two times the picture height away from my 77-inch-diagonal screen, so that is pretty close to ideal I think. And, yes, I can easily see the difference among 4K, 1080i/p, and 720p at this position.

Interesting again (abotu the resolution x distance)... yes, makers can propose "immersive experience", and not all people can love it (maybe most will).
"Me" included for people not liking it very much: not a fan of panning too much the eyes for video content (cinema is not my cup of tea). Also, not a fan of seeing a 200" zoomed face in a screen...
For gamming, I use monitors.
When watching new content (eg. 4k series) with my wife, I use a 55" OLED TV at distance higher that the recommended, but not so high that negates all difference of 1080p to 4k.
Is a example of preference; not so common I admit.
