Fact is 4k does enhance the experiance when played on TVs large enough. For people who want to watch there movies on the largest screen they can fit that added detail really enhances the experiance. NEVER SETTLE FOR GOOD ENOUGH. NEVER

Really? People prefered VHS To DVD? Never knew anybody like that. Must be an outlier. You could see the difference between VHS to DVD. You can slightly see the difference between DVD to Blu-ray. The difference between Blu-ray to 4K is even smaller.

It's not settling for good enough. It's being honest enough that a change is not needed based on the size of the differences involved.

Look at a speaker system. 20.2 is better then 10.1 which is better then 7.1 which is better then 5.1 which is better then 2.0 which is better then TV speakers. The electronic companies will always try to push out newer and "better". Should we keep on pushing along until 20.2 becomes standard? have speakers all over the room the ultimate surround experience? It gets to a point of being obnoxious. I had a 7.1 set-up and ended up reducing it back down to 5.1 The extra 2 speakers were not worth it.

The same concept applies to TV. At some point, a certain resolution is good enough. It stops at some point. For 99% of the consumers, it ends at Blu-ray/1080p quality.
