Wait wait wait. I do not even own a blu-Ray player yet or any bluerays. What does this 4K thing do ? Picture clearer?

4K is a term used to describe panles with a resolution 4 times higher than Full HD, 3840x2160 pixels.

OT: Casually yesterday I read this news about LG bringing to EU and NA their first 84" 4K TV... which has a price tag equivalent of $22.000

Also, as HappySqurriel  said, how many games will be able to run at that res natively? You need a 680/7970 to run games smoothly at 2560x1440, image the power necessary for that kind of res.

Oh I thought it was 4096*3072, but that is for cameras I see.

4k has two different meanings if i'm not wrong^^

quad full high definition (qfhd) with 3,840 x 2,160 or full aperture 4,096 x 3,112

it's called 4k because it's around that in pixels as horizontal not because it's 4x as much as 1080p.
