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.
I can certainly tell the difference between a 50" 4K display and a 1080p one at a store, standing maybe 8' away. Just go to Best Buy and see for yourself.
Also, go for 80" instead of 70" if possible - the difference is worth it. Movies would feel that much more like at the theater. 70" will feel small and cheap a few years from now, for a standard living room experience (if we look at the standards of technological progress).
