Its how they need you to think to justify buying ever higher resolution displays. Its the only way they can justify being able to say that that TV you got last year is now obsolete.

the market always had both Full HD (1080p) and HD Ready (720p) TVs and never had any upgrades until recently. Maybe you should have mentioned other features like smart TVs, 3D and filters which are actually marketing ploys.

As strange as it may seem, smart TVs or 3D actually have more real world value than going from 1080p to 4k with a fixed screen size and viewing distance. 

The thing with the market is that back then they didn't need to push "upgrades" cause  there was a clear difference in quality and design between SD and HD. But the problem bow is, besides just going bigger, how else cab they convince people to buy new TVs. Can they afford to tell people that they don't need to change that 1080p TV they bought years ago cause they won't notice a difffernfe on 4k unless they are getting a 140"+ screen?
