It actually depends on the size of the screen and where you are sitting. From a distance, it is virtually impossible for someone to tell the difference in quality between a 1080p and 4K screen. However, if you have a big enough screen, in a small enough room the difference is immediately apparent.

Is there a noticeable difference between 1080p and 4K?

The quality of upscaling will also depend on the TV’s quality itself. More expensive TVs from Samsung, LG, and Sony upscale better than cheaper 4K TVs.
