For anyone who thinks 4k TV will be a significant improvement

Uhh it's not a matter of opinion. Of course 4K will offer a significant improvement over 1080P. Especially when it comes to viewing distances and larger screens.

I can't answer your little thought exercise about the networks however, as I don't have HD cable service. Most of the content is upscaled anyway, not true HD source material.

For your average home TV it wont make much difference, if any - the eye isnt sensitive enough to resolve that level of detail on anything other than truly gargantuan screens.

Considering the average viewing distance is 9-12 feet, you'd need an 80-90 inch 4K screen before the extra resolution gave any appreciable benefit over a similarly sized 1080 screen.

If you're lucky to have a home cinema or something, then 4K makes sense. On screens smaller than around 60 inches, it's more of a marketing gimmick.

You're right.

I have a HT with 1080p. The screen is 120" and the viewing distance is about 10 feet. I'd notice the difference between 4K and 1080p.

Now, in my living room, I think I have an average setup. 47" 1080p @ 10 feet. It'd be a waste for me in that instance, and I think that 42"-55" @ 10ft is probably the "normal" range for the average consumer household.
