Is 2K or 4K resolution worth paying extra for on a doorbell?

Reviewer consensus

Higher resolution helps with digital zoom on packages, license plates, and faces, and PCMag and CNET both note the visible jump on Ring's newest 4K Battery Doorbell Pro. But r/Ring threads also flag that Ring's processing pipeline can feel slow regardless of resolution, and many shoppers find 2K (or even HD+) plenty for a typical porch. The bigger upgrade is usually field of view and night vision, not pixel count.
