I have yet to see 3D (including Avatar) that didn't make my brain think that it looked fake.

This 1080p to 4k comes down to diminishing returns. Is that increase in technology really worth the change? In this case, it's not. At least not for most people and the way they watch movies. Most people will not watch movies on TV's over 60". The electronic companies can always find new ways to "improve" technology. At what point are those improvements not worth the hassel of changing everything to play it? I think we are at that point. 1080p is good enough for almost everybody. Maybe in 20 years if something really revolutionary comes out that changes the way to watch TV, it will be worth changing things. I don't see the need to increase the number of pixels on my television screen that I won't even notice.

20 years ago, I knew at least a few people who were not rich who had rear projection TV's that were in the 40" range.
