Another argument against 4K tv's (at least for right now) is that the video standards for 4K are only just now being agreed upon industry wide, from what I understand. The new 4K standard will have a wider color gamut to better recreate the range of color the human eye can actually see, as well as much higher contrast ratios among other things. It's not JUST about higher resolution. But since these things are just now becoming standardized, current 4K tv's don't have these features and won't be able to take advantage of them when they are available in the (probably very near) future.
