I have a 1070 PC and a PS4 pro, I can't see the difference so you certainly won't see any difference with any inbetween machine like Xbox One X. It's called diminishing returns.
Unless you've got a huge screen you gain nothing over 1440p, your eyes just can't see anymore, dimishing returns have kicked in and everything looks great now.
60 fps matters though, and that's the target every console should reach. No action game should be 30 fps. That's the last big reason to play your games on PC.
I think there is a nice difference between 1440p to 4k, it might not be as massive as 720p to 1080p, but it is there. Though, what we're seeing here is pretty much 1440p vs 1700p on average, so the difference is not that stark...I think they look pretty close going by the vid tbh.....
Still though, there's still merit in what you're saying as far as perception goes, 1440p looks great anbd so does 4k. i have a 1440p PC monitor and a 4k Panel and games and content look pretty sharp and amazing on both. Most of the times it's what graphcial effects the devs choose to use, perhaps the game mood and setting they're trying to set. Halo 5 for. e,g. looks very sharp and yet it's not full on native 4k, but there are native 4k games which look less sharp because of their effects pipeline, so there's more to the conversation there........
As someome who owns a 1080ti too, i have to say i feel true 4k is slightly overrated, especially for people who sit and watch on a averaget.v. from reasonable viewing distances.
It's definitely more noticeable for someone who is sat very close to their monitor.
I also think "all the bells and whistles" often come at an expense that's not really that tangible when playing a game.
Dont get me wrong those effects are great and are a necessary part of evolution of visuals, but often the consoles are striking a bloody good balance imo.
As someome who doesnt play first person shooters online any more. I'd happily play most games at cbr 4k and save the resources for better frame rates and even happily cut back on highest settings for one below in most cases
It's something I've always said, I would take 4k CBR on PRO over 1440p or dynamic rez with the ceiling being 1584p....If MS wants to go the route of non-cb solutions that's fine, so 1700-1800p on XBONEX with 4k CB on PRO would have been a fine comparison indeed.
They actually stated 1728p - 2016p near the beginning of the video.
Yes, it never gets to 2160p and it averages around 1700p on XBONEX whilst the Pro averages around 1440p.
On the flip, I think it's a bit disingenous for people to use the lowest rez on PRO against the highest rez possible on XBONEX as a form of disparity....There is no way PRO would be at it's lowest of 1350p and the XBONEX would be at it's highest of 2016p, they would both be at their highest or lowest at certain taxing and non taxing areas simultaneoulsy, that's how DR works....
