I agree. Let the broadcast quality determine what quality of tv you should spend your money on right now. I'd wait till there's content at 4k standard to justify owning a 4k tv. It'll be waaaaaaay cheaper by the time you can even watch actual 4k broadcasts. Then you'll see all the wrinkles on the actors and actresses faces, which is why older stars are dreading true HD quality imagery

I like my 4k monitor but as stated not so much for 4k content at the moment.

Although not a TV the resolution was standard set at 3840 x 2160, I have very good vision but you literally have to be 6 inches away (unless you covert to 1920X 1080) to read text.

Think the only real use for 4K right now is pc gaming but to do that you also gotta drop about 1200 dollars on a couple high end graphic cards. 4K blue ray comes out soon also I'm pretty sure. If your just watching tv kinda useless considering hd tv is only broadcast in 720p.

I bought a beautiful LG 65" 4k TV recently for $2300.00. With the upconverting the picture is amazing. In reality a quality tv that size isn't going to get much cheaper. I would go look at the TV your interested in and choose for yourself.

Btw Netflix has a growing selection of 4k content available right now you just can't see the menu unless you have 4k compatible hardware.
