Yeah, I don't buy that chart linked showing the viewing distance required to notice the difference between 4k and 1080p. Just go to any electronics retailer, even the cheapo Hisense 4k TV's at Walmart. If they're streaming native 4k content, you can be 20 feet away and still see a clear difference between it and the other stuff, which they pipe in at 1080i. The idea that outside of 5 feet on a 55 inch TV you won't see the difference is just incorrect.
It works even better at places like Frys or Best Buy or Star Power where they have higher end stuff in display showing real content.
That said, a budget 4k TV is still a good buy imho just to be ready. They're dropping so fast in price, by the time 4k becomes standard they'll be ridiculous cheap and then you can upgrade again cheap.
