Fact is its better and its becoming affordable very fast its definetly worth buying if it gets affordable.

The 55-65 inch Sony 4k TVs are 5000-6000. Thoshiba has 7000 Dollar 4k TVs

Chinese brands offer 4k 50inch for 1500 Dollar already.

In a few years it might be so cheap that that people will be willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars more for 4k TVs if they need a new TV anyway 4k/3D will be standard features for all TVs in 5-10 years.

The only way people will buy it is if its standard, but most people won't give a crap about the 4K feature itself. It's just a bonus throw in.

Talking like years down the road when a 4K set is $1000-$1500.

Thats what I said yes. People will buy a 4k TV if it has a better picture (which it has) but is not much more expensive. Some people will be ready to pay thousands more some hundreds some 50 bucks and some when they have to buy it because there is no alternative.

 

The massmarket does not lead the way for technology its the people who pay more to get more and the masses will adapt it as soon as its cheap enough. Seeing as right now you can buy a 1299 Dollar 4k TV the prices will go down fast  1080p TVs took years to reach that price 4k TVs took months.
