Yeah, I have a nice 4K tv and I still think 4k is a bit of a red herring. I even moved my couch a foot closer. The only thing I noticed is that I can now distinguish between 720p and 1080p where I couldn't on my old 1080p tv.

I think 4k is more important on 25" to 30" computer monitors that are perched just a couple feet away. I'm not convinced it makes a difference on a wall mounted TV.

I think the more exciting bits of progress are the wide color gamut and HDR.
