I also expected something like 480p -> 4k difference, but it is more like hd -> fullhd. Of course it has larger spectrum and people who fund the mission wouldn’t spend billions to make a little difference, but it isn’t overwhelming either at the first glance. Pretty sure many technically innocent people have the same thought in mind.

From what I've read, the improved resolution isn't what's important. It's the ability to use the deep infrared to see so much farther into the past.
