Well... I watch TV 2-4 meters away from a 32 inch TV and feel the 1080P is certainly worth it. If I wanted something like a 40 inch I would see the difference, but since there is no point in big TVs there's no point in 4K. At least that's the way I see it. My beef is ridiculously big TVs and ridiculously big phones and ridiculously big anything (yes, even boobs). It seems wasteful and decadent to me, the TV should not command your place of residence.

Gaming is wasteful and decadent anyway, might as well go all the way :) This is how I play games and watch movies

Great immersion, no distractions, and I would very much like to upgrade my projector to 4K. (still way too expensive)
It doesn't command the living room, sacrificed a spare bedroom instead.

But indeed, I have my doubts about the usefullness of replacing the living room tv with a 4K set. A HDR 1080p set would be fine too, unfortunately all HDR sets are 4K. 4K resolution only starts to make sense at 55" and up for the living room, and that's quite big in the room, while still kinda smallish for the movie theater experience.

Select 4K and look in horror how big a tv they recommend for 2m viewing distance, they basically recommend a 140" tv for 4 meters!
