even if you cant notice the pixel different from that distance, the 4k is still going to have a better picture so i dont understand this argument

That question is not even relevant anymore. We all know there is limited 4K content out there. It's a lost battle. The view distance charts all assume that content viewed is actually the native resolution of the TV. If you're watching lower-res content on a 4K TV, a lot of them can upsample the content fairly well. Doesn't turn it into 4K by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still something. Of course, again that means nothing if you're sitting too far away or too close. Otherwise, any perceived improvement in picture is probably due to the fact that resolution is not the only thing that's better than your previous TV. LED tech, refresh rate, color accuracy, contrast, saturation, etc.

Personally, I'm not quite ready to slap an 80-inch 4K TV on my wall for my wife to watch 720P U-Verse.

Netflix has 4k stream options and DirectTV has an agreement to start putting out 4k content. Also there is some app called Ultraflix that you can download and play content.

The set itself upscales everything. i mean i may be naive now since i dont have the tv yet and i just spent about a grand for it but from the demos in the store there is a clear difference between 4k and the other sets . The guys on avf forums know alot more about this then I do and from reading their thoughts everyone is pretty impressed with this 4k tv for the price.

UHD Upscaling delivers the complete UHD picture experience with a proprietary process including signal analysis, noise reduction, UHD upscaling and detail enhancement to seamlessly upconvert SD, HD or full HD content to near UHD-level picture quality.

plus im upgrading from an old as frick 46" sharp, so might as well go with something that is future proof is the 4k does start to take off
