As much as I hate agreeing with Rollo, he is actually right to wait for 4k. I was an early adopter of a 1080p display and it was a waste. It was a similar situation to this. The only content available was Blu Ray movies and PC gaming. I paid a hefty premium for it and prices dropped in half within a year or two. It was really frustrating. The same thing is going to happen to 4k. Once there is more content it will become mainstream and the prices will plummet. You guys just watch, give it one or two years and we will see 4k TVs even cheaper than the current 1080p sets. The profit margins on the 4k TVs are very high. It's how the manufacturers are making all their money right now. Just give it time. The only real use I can see for it is high end gaming, but it is very hard to find a 4k TV with HDMI 2.0 that can do 4:4:4 chroma with good input lag. That's not to mention the fact that 4k gaming requires a ridiculous rig. I think these would be really fun toys if you have a lot of excess cash but if you're smart you will wait and you will get something much better for less money soon.
