The car will never catch on, horses are more than adequate for the masses.
Cars and horses are like apples and oranges, in both functionality and uses, while 1080p TVs and 4k TVs are the same, except in resolution and size (again, because a 4k TV has to be pretty big in order to actually appreciate its resolution).
People like me just want to buy a TV, put it in a living room, making sure it doesn't take too much space and that it can be seen at the right distance (about 2 meters).

4k will be a spectacular failure, much like the bluray format is compared to vhs and dvd adoption. Digital files have replaced them for flexibility and forwards improvements at a much quicker pace.
Well, I don't think digital 4k resolution will be a failure, because it will find some application one way or another.
4k TVs, though, are in my opinion coming too early and are pretty much pointless too (as our very "negative" fellow said :D). The way I see it, it's just an excuse to make us buy something unnecessary.
... But it will sell nonetheless! :D
