Don't get hung up on specs

Remember this- resolution will only increase over time. It will never go backward and it will not remain static for long. So, 4K is no gimmick. And years from now when 8K comes out, it won't be a gimmick either. Nor will 16K, etc.

Netflix has announced that it is streaming 4K content. Considering that 2/3's of all American bandwidth was used last year on Netflix servers, I'd say when they sneeze, the rest of the industry catches a cold.

1080P looks great on 4K sets. Of course 4K looks much better. I own a Pioneer Elite Kuro, and when it finally bites the dust, it will be replaced with a Sony 4K set. Also, the XBR-65X850B is much less expensive than $4500.00.
