I'm playing on a 28 inch 4K monitor and anything 1440p and lower is very noticeable to me.
For example, Rift Apart is 1440p in it's Performance RT mode and the image was just too soft for me and to make matters worse, the extra frames only highlighted how soft it is. However, playing it in Fidelity mode really made the game look gorgeous. It's so crisp and the motion blur plus lower frame rate gives it that CG movie-like quality.
So maybe for the people who say they can't tell a difference between 1080p and 4K are just sitting way too far away from their screen or they don't have the proper screen size for the distance they view it from.
For example, in my living room, I have a 65 inch Samsung Q70R, but we sit so far from it that I can't see any difference between 1080p content and 4K. I even cancelled my 4K Netflix plan because its pointless to push those extra pixels if you can't tell that they're there.
When I watch content or play games on my monitor, the difference is astounding and 1080p looks very low res and ugly to me.... then add 60fps to the mix and it just makes the ugliness stand out even more.
