We primarily watch tv on a home projector theatre system. Pretty much
only when I'm watching on my own downstairs would I probably consider
it. I generally watch Netflix down there anyway....May be worth it.
I am much closer to the tv down there too.
Dunno....May consider it. Thanks everyone :)

I have a 65” and sit about 12 feet away.
You can tell the 4k content difference from 1080p, it’s a nice
upgrade, but not something you really miss if it’s not there.
I think you see it a lot more if you project like 120” screen and are
14 feet away.
That’s where it starts to really come out, on the bigger screens,
sitting closer to the content.
As far as content, a lot of the TV shows from the last two years on
most content providers is 4k available.
Vudu is good with 4k as is a lot of Netflix stuff.
Some recent movies as well, but a lot are still provided in 1080 instead.
Can’t speak to satellite TV since I haven’t had that in years.

I had about an hour to kill this afternoon so I spent it in Costco
roaming around...
Some of the pictures on the Samsung TVs that are UTV or even Beyond
UTV are absolutely astonishing.
At the end of the TV section was the DirecTV rep. I have DirecTV
satellite and I like my high definition picture and my high-definition
home projector.
All of my TV's in my home were purchased in the last five to ten years
and they're all HD capable. Most are smart TVs that run apps but the
apps don't ever update and you pretty much get what the TV has and
that's it....
So I decided to get all excited I had a little money burning a hole in
my pocket I thought I would grab one of these super duper Samsung
Ultra high-definition televisions. Ok not really but lets pretend I
did....
I told the DirecTV lady when HD first came out it took the
broadcasters a while to start broadcasting in HD. I asked her for a
list of which channels broadcast in 4k....She gave me the list....
104.....DTV4k
105....cine4k
106....Live4k
Basically....NONE
How much programming on Netflix is in 4k? I am aware of the extreme
bandwidth requirements....
And guaranteed if I got a hacked Amazon Fire stick it's not going to
show me anything in 4k....
What is the point? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
