No, what I said was we don't need 4K content - I have a 27" 1080p monitor and I can see the pixels on that sometimes, so for a 50+ inch display, 4K would certainly be preferable. So, in other word, if you play the same movie at 1080p on a 50" 1080p screen and a 50" 4K screen, it will likely look better on the 4K screen, because you won't see the pixels. But if you play on that 4K display a movie in 1080p lossless, it will likely look better than the same movie in compressed 4K on that 4K screen and won't likely look discernibly worse than the same movie in 4K lossless on that screen.

Well get this....

I was asking about 4k adoption and when will it be more reasonably priced for the home market to a person who works in the professional large screen industry...and was a little shocked by his response.

Apparently 4k will largely be dropped and 8k will be made available at more reasonable prices and presented as the go to format.

Although this may sound ridiculous it is all about bringing the price of components down and being very little difference in the cost of actual materials.

I don't know how much truth to this there is but this is what I heard... Wait and see I am certainly not rushing out to buy a 4k screen yet anyway.
