4K is pointless

TV, at least where I am is either 576i or 1080i and is a long way from ever reaching 4K let alone 1080p
Gamers would rather better graphics then ridiculous high resolutions especially for the general 23" monitor
There are no physical discs for 4K and blu ray has only just started becoming standard
4K files are way too large and streaming of 4K content won't be feasible for many countries
Unless we are speaking of 50"+ tv's 4K is mostly pointless even if we had 4K content readily available.

I really don't see 4K catching on anytime soon

The exact same arguments as in 2005 when the first 1080p tv's came out.

Full 4K benefit on a 23" monitor is apparent at 1.5ft, not an unreasonable distance for a pc monitor.
Multi 1080p screen pc gaming and oversampling at 4K has been going on for years.
Higher res means less need for anti aliasing, less artifacts while upscaling. 720p content will look better upscaled to 4K then to 1080p.
Did people compain about higher dpi CRT tvs / monitors? More pixels provide a clearer image, regardless of the source.

At least the average Joe won't think he needs to be able to see every individual pixel for it to have benefit to him.
And you would finally be able to see all those 8MP and up pictures you've been taking for years the way they were meant to be seen.
