You know, a standard? Like from a textbook?
The marketing always seems to skew towards selling more televisions as opposed to providing technical information, but I don't know why this simple topic has to cover so many consecutive posts.

A 720p source has 2.25x the number of pixels of a 1080p source. However, the actual increase in vertical resolution or (pixels per inch) is only 1.5x. The amount of dots per inch is a better indication of quality than the total number of pixels.

Moving from 1080p to 4K, the number of pixels increases to 4x, but the scaling factor only improves to a mere 2x.

A better question is whether anyone can resolve the extra pixels per inch from their seating distance, which they probably cannot.
