Is 4K a game changer?

The kind of material that would really sell 4K TVs is not yet being made in meaningful quantities.

Plus if I am not mistaken, as I do not claim to be an expert, the limit on scans for 35mm film is 4k, 8k is primarily for 65/70mm. And if memory serves me correct from what I have read, the actual 4k scan on 35mm is closer at 3k give or take a bit. Anything higher then 4k either does not work, or does not yield any more significant information, please correct me if I am wrong, sources provided to strengthen or oppose what I have written would be appreciated.
