I switched from 1440x900 to 1080p a few years ago on PC (and I still miss, if not 4:3 anymore, 16:10 aspect ratio, it's a lot better for everything but games and more than good enough for games), and on TV I did it from SD to 768p even later, and just last year to 1080p, I'm fine with 1080p for the next few years.
4k will come when it will be dirt cheap and, on PC, when it won't only be cheap, but also passive cooled GPUs will support it at decent framerates.
8k, well, will it be during this life or later?
