Maybe you just had a really crappy HDTV, so the 4k TV looks awesome in comparison. Also, I'm pretty sure that 4k has nothing to do with colors being more vibrant. |

Assuming the average viewing distance for television is 6 feet (1830 mm), p@0.4 is about 120 ppi and p@1 is about 50 ppi.
Most consumer large screen LCD and LED panels are about 50 ppi to 90 ppi, and average about 72 ppi. Now you know why. If your television gets smaller in size, then the higher ppi doesn’t really help. This is why 1920×1080 (at 100 ppi at 6 feet for a 50″ LCD/LED television panel) is good enough. The eye can’t really resolve a lot more at 6 feet.
So I think it is simple that at >55" < 6 feet away you'll notice a difference. Considering how most HDTV's that boast 4k are greater than or equal to 55 inches, your comments are kind of irrelevant. People who buy 4k already have televisions big enough to notice a difference.
