You should read up some more. That ain't happening this year, or next year, or the next.
You'll be able to watch more and more 4k over the years through different avenues, but we are a few years away from you watching Monday Night Football in 4k.
DirecTV dude says it's coming in 2016. We'll see. LINK

DirecTV wants to provide a solution: the company's SVP of Video and Space Communications Phil Goswitz confirmed at New York's TranSPORT conference that DirecTV will launch a live 4K broadcasting service sometime in "early 2016."
At the conference, Goswitz explained that the company currently has the ability to transmit up to 50 new UHD channels, and live sports transmissions are already being tested as part of next year's rollout.
DirecTV already has the hardware in place, and according to Goswitz, the company wants to get ahead of cable companies and provide viewers with 4K content they can't get from their cable companies. "I think the belief that there are technology challenges is a bit of a misinformed myth," he said.

You need to look for something higher than 240, if you ask me. It's a simulated 240, but a simulated 480 or 960 is much better.
You really don't. Unless you like the way simulated (interpolation aka soap opera effect) actually looks. And I don't know too many people who do like it. Makes it look fake, because some of the frames actually are fake. But if you like it then go for it
And even at that rate, it's damn near impossible for the human eye to tell the difference. When you get to the 240 and up rate, it's mainly all a marketing gimmick to charge higher prices
Oh, and they actually do make real 240hz tvs

That's precisely what my research revealed.

Yea, I did my fair share of research before I bought a new one. With so many different terms used by at the tv makers I had no clue what was what. And I wasn't about to spend that money and not know what I'm actually buying. Sad thing is so many people do just that

Bought a 50 inch Vizio in 06 for $2000. Still working fine.
Bought 70 inch Vizio in Nov. for $900. No problems.
The 50 inch is going out on the patio when the weather improves.

i've only ever had Vizios, and haven't had any problems at all, ever... just got a 55" 4K UHD one when we moved into the new house we built and it looks amazing....

The M series Vizio is the most bang for your buck IMO.
