If you're fine with 1080p that's fine. Most people definitely don't notice the difference. That being said 2160p is a straightforward upgrade though, and if you have the right home theater hardware you can get a much crisper image with no compression artifacts at those higher resolutions and bitrates. If you don't notice or care about those things then you can definitely save on streaming or storage costs by sticking with 1080p.

Yeah, all I'm saying is there should be a lower-cost tier for people who don't notice the difference or don't care about the difference or don't even have a TV that can handle it.
