the 4k "future" (compared to 2k)will be (at best) half as big as blu ray is compared to dvd.
the explanation is very simple.Though Blu ray is far superior(especially in combination with hd-tv's)a lot of people are not interessted in upgrading to blu ray though they own a hd-tv=many people seem to be complacent with dvd.
The visual gap between Hdtv and 4k is a lot smaller=less people will convert from dvd/blu ray to 4k than from dvd to blu ray.I think most people are not interessted nor would spot the difference between 2k and 4 k.
I myself would rather buy a 2k 60inch oled than a 4k 60inch lcd as the brilliance of the oled colours will make the pictures look better despite the lower resolution(comparable to Ryse's lower polygon models visuaps being successfully compensated by better fx) .As the eye can spot the huge increase in details from 2 to 4 k as long as it watches a static picture ,the difference is hardly to spot when non static scenarios are moving with 60fps.
I think the real future will be 8k(japanese super hdtv sheduled for 2025),not because of higher res but because of glassless 3d tv as 8k can create an accepptable sweet spot for 2k 3d movies
