Even between PS4 Pro and XB1X, games like Battlefield V and Destiny are notably sharper on the Xbox.
Most people sit 10 to 12 feet from their TV. At that distance, on a screen less than 80", your eyes become the lower resolution device. Even at 7 feet from the screen on your 55" you're not close enough to get the full benefit of all those extra pixels. For the way most people set up their living rooms and the size of TV most people have, it's essentially a gimmick.

Regardless, the sheer quality of your OLED is going to make a bigger difference to your viewing experience than the resolution you're looking at.
