My 15 year old FullHD 48" LED TV is about 4 meters away from my couch and when watching a 1080p movie I can’t possibly imagine how a sharper image would add anything to the experience.
Resolution wouldn’t make much difference but other improvements exist that could improve the image quality. If you have moving light and dark next to each other there can be a delay in the pixels changing colour or a bit of light bleeding across from one to the other. There is also how vibrant the range of colours are.
Unfortunately these things are a bit harder to measure and show than resolution.
I’ve got a similar setup. I’ll sometimes even watch stuff in 720p, and it’s fine.
I play games on my steam deck on the couch. When one of my kids was over the other day, she mentored I should play it on the ‘bigger’ screen. I held up the deck - the screen almost exactly overlayed the TV screen.
