Yeah you'd notice it a ton.

It helps if you understand resolution, 1080p only looks clear because it is on a small screen. If you blow it up to the size of a billboard it looks like crap.
4k is the size of a billboard squeezed down into a monitor.

If you sit close enough to your monitor to see the pixels, then higher resolution will help.
If you can't see the pixels from where you sit, then higher resolution will make NO DIFFERENCE.
IMHO,
1080p is good for a 21" monitor,
1440p is good for a 27" monitor
4K for 32" or above

There is more to it than being able to "see" the pixels.
Take a cellphone, they have HD screens, and look super clear no matter how close you get.
Then look at something like an apple Retina display (2k) or a new skylake tablet with a 4k screen, and it is amazing how much you CAN'T see the pixels. You can't see the pixels in a photograph, but that doesn't mean a 1200dpi scan isn't any better than a 600dpi scan, because it is.
