A bigger issue than resolution is the ability to display the new coming color gamut standard. That will be far more perceivable than the resolution increase. And to a lesser extent, high dynamic range capability.

I don't think any plasma, maybe not even the mighty Kuro (which took my breath away), will be able to stand up against a future quality 4K set with HDR and wider color gamut.

But having said that, there will be people who will continue to believe that plasma is always better.
