HDTV was way more expensive when it first came out, I remember the only person I knew that had a flat screen plasma (HDTV) was a really rich dude (circa 2002/2003). You had to pay $3000-$4000+ minimum for a 50-inch set. 

4KTV's are already under $1000, which kinda makes it a situation of, if you need a new TV, you might as well spend a tad more on the 4K set.
