If your mind was made up why ask the question?

First of all on my Samsung 4k 8000 series 55" about 10 to 12 feet we saw a difference between a 4k disc and a Blu-ray. That may not be enough to mmmake me jump right to a 4k TV. However, when I ran the HDMI directly to the TV taking advantage of the HDR 4k signal the difference is big. If you noticed in my original post I used the term "HDR", that's what will make the huge difference on 4k. You can stand a few feet at a store who has an accurate demo and see the difference. I thought the purpose of your post was to gain information to make an informed decision. If I didn't have to upgrade I'd probably be contect to wait a bit, the content for 4k needs to grow. When I did upgrade, most displays unless buying http://www.pcmag.com/article2/very cheap are already 4k.
