The Neo is focused on 4k gaming, make no mistake.

My DVDs look horrible on my 1080P LED Bravia. Maybe I'm too spoilt by blu-ray though. Also I believe DVD's native resolution is actually 480i(interlaced) but there were methods available to push for progressive scan on progression scan devices but it was up to the publisher.

You are correct, it's 480i, but most all DVD players now are upscaling (even the PS2/Xbox 360.)

Blu-ray does look better, but it's not 4K either. 

Native always looks better, buy my point is pure digital upscaling 1080p looks really good on a 4k TV, and it's not the visual leap of last gen.

Pal "Standard Definition/DVD" is 720x576i
NTSC "Standard Definition/DVD" is 720x480i
High Definition is 1280x720 (Allot of 720P TV's are actually 1366x768 or 1360x768)
Full High Definition  is 1920x1080
Quad High Definition is 2560x1440
Quad Full High Definition is 3840x2160
The Real Cinema standard 4k is actually 4096x2160.

That's mostly because it's literally a quad-drupling of pixels, retaining the same aspect ratio. - There isn't any weird stretching or scaling going on.

After researching 4k for almost a week now - I agree.

So my question is - how pricy would it be to get that? How much would a console cost that can hit 1080p 60fps on almost any game (some games are more intense than others. So a good average would be nice).

Not too much really. Only like 399-449$, using new GPU tech like Polaris 10 or 11 and a bit beefier CPU. So somewhere from 50 to 100 dollars more than a PS4 currently costs.

That assumes that Polaris has the capability to acceptably handle 4k, keep in mind it's a mid-range card, it's target is 1080P/1440P and VR.

Now nVidia is struggling to achieve 4k 60fps with it's Geforce 1080 card...
AMD is trying to sell consumers on two Polaris 10 cards verses a single Geforce 1080 for gaming and benchmarks are backing that up, you can't expect a single card to do 4k.

Vega and then Navi will be AMD's "4k" chips. Not Polaris, no idea where this expectation of Polaris doing 4k came from.
