You know 4k movies are currently available, and gaming in 4k (while obviously will not be the standard for two more gens) will probably be introduced next gen, which will more than likely occur 3-4 years from now. Netflix is also going to introduce 4k movies and tv series this year.

How often do you buy tvs? Every year? Two years? I usually own mine for about 5 to 7, and a year to two from now 4k will be pretty prevalent. 

I don't buy products (especially larger monetary purchases) based on the present. Youtube has 4k videos, Netflix has 4k videos, there are 4k movies, and 4k gaming will be introduced soon enough. Plenty of reason to get a 4k TV.



Sure, but only if you are buying an 80+ inch screen, I'd like to see you TRY and differentiate between 4k and 1080p on a standard living room sized TV (60 or smaller generally). Once 4k projectors become more prevalent, those will make a hell of a lot more sense than buying an 80 inch TV to take up a whole living room wall. Also, I said HARDLY ANY shows and movies available, which is absolutely true. Sure there are going to be more and more available because 4k/Ultra HD is the "In" thing, but it still makes hardly any difference to the human eye. They are analog and don't care about minute pixel details from the distance you would be watching a TV from. Look up the science



 

Yeah, if you're getting an 80 inch + screen compared or a 20 inch 4k you have a great point, but we're talking a 55 inch 1080p or a 47 inch 4k then it's a little different.
