why do you need crisp text for cli? cli works just fine in 180p still

Because I like my text to look good

you can tell the difference between 4k text and 1080 text? I cant.

There hasn’t been an instance where I couldn’t tell the difference

For the same reason your PC screen likely has more than 480p resolution even though you technically don’t need more than that, why you have stereo instead of mono sound, and more than one CPU core.
