3 meters away from a 55" TV gives you a very poor 23 degree viewing angle, let alone 4. The maximum SMPTE recommended viewing distance for that screen size in 16:9 is 2.3m.

In other words, for 4K to stop being perceivable, you have to make your experience worse in other ways.

Oh definitely. I have a large TV because I understand that. I don't know anyone else with a TV that actually sits that close though. Most people are gaming like 4-5 meters away.
