Reason number 1 4K TVs are meaningless to me:

In my living room the closest seat to a TV is 10', most seats are 13-15' away. In my rec room, the closest seat is 9' away.
For the human eye to see the difference in 1080p and 4K on a 70" TV, the eye has to be less than 5' from the TV. Don't plan on moving my furniture to the middle of the room to see the difference.
For gaming and PC monitors I get 4K, it's beautiful. For TVs, 1080p is truly "good enough" because you can't see better. It's sort of like speakers that can produce sound outside the range human ears can hear. Better, but what's the point?
When Rollo Jr goes off to college and takes his 60" tv out of my rec room, I'll probably put my 60" 1080p down there and buy a 70" 4K for my living room. I don't plan on the resolution making a difference though.
