Fine, but which size is the smallest 4K TV/monitor available today? 30"?

And how long will it take them to launch 24" 4K monitors?

AHA...I'm glad you asked because I was hoping someone would.

I'm here to help.

In fact, this is why we won't be seeing 4K resolution as a mainstream resolution for a very long time.    It's simply overkill for practically everyone.

You really need a 55" TV or larger to actually perceive a difference in resolution from 1920 to 4K. Any TV/monitor sizes below will be largely indistinguishable (unless you sit 2 feet away from it).

There is no movie medium, no broadcast backing, the entertainment industry simply has little desire or need (or the hundreds of billions in capital it would require) to move toward 4K.

4K will be extremely niche for a long time.

Well, I don't know you, but the distance between me and my monitor is about the length of my arm, so I would see the difference.
