I usually just joke that my resolution is my monitor or TV pixel count. I finally upgraded to 1080p a few years ago. I am not spending money to join the 4K club.

I think it was Frank Zappa who said that without deviation from the norm, progress is impossible. There was also an Isaac Asimov short story entitled Profession about outliers and progress. Check your library for the latter in a short story collection and the former in Zappa's autobiography.
