re: New 70" tv

4k is essentially 4x the resolution of 1080p. If you get 4k, it is pretty awesome and worth it. The problem is that 4k content is very limited today. You would need to stream it (via Netflix) or watch on demand 4k.
If you have Directv, there is a dedicated 24/7 4k channel with 25 MLB games broadcasted in 4k - but no ESPN, no CBS/NBC/ABC - it is VERY limited. Dish offers many on demand 4k channels and Netflix 4k with a promise of linear broadcasting (live/24 7) programming in the near future. Not sure about Cox.
I think it is worth it mainly because unlike 3D, 4k will eventually catch on and there is enough content (on demand movies, netflix) that will allow you to take advantage of the TV until live programming gets rolled out.

Not to mention if you only stream your content (like I do), odds are you have a bandwidth cap. With 4K you'll likely blow through the cap in half the time.
