I agree that 4K-TVs are for morons. The feature a 4K-tv has, that I would like to have in my 1080p-TV, is 10-bit pixel depth (of course after the industry settle for a standard for this).

Heck with my viewing distance there is no real difference between 720p and 1080p.

Why exactly does enjoying a higher definition experience make a person a moron? It seems to me that's been rather par for the course.

I don't know your viewing distance, but there's one thing I'd certainly agree with: if you're going to get a 4k TV, make sure it's a big one (probably ~55 inch minimum) to really be able to appreciate the difference. Those smaller 4k TVs are almost pointless, but from personal experience I can attest to the fact that a larger 4k TV offers an amazing display that is very, very obvious lol

Because at a (for most people) normal viewing distance (and screen size) you will not see the difference with 4k over 1080p.

The biggest difference that most people notice when watching 4K material on a 4K TV is the added colour depth, witch makes the picture look better but not because of increased resolution.

A computer monitor at 4k or 5k is not the same since you normally sit within 1 m from it.
