Just posing the question. There are Seiko 4K displays out there for about $1200.00 at 50 inches diagonal with no frills.
So, why would I want one?
I have an audio room that better half suggests should also be usable as a video room!! Nothing is ORDINARY in my audio room!!
So, all I would need is either a computer!! OR a blu ray player that can upscale and I'm all set, right??
P.S. Obviously I'm on sort of a budget or I wouldn't even be asking ;-)

I've done some research into this, and right now, there's absolutely no reason to plunk money down. I was actually one of the first (fools) to buy an HDTV before the whole standard was implemented - and ended up with a model that did NOT fully support HDCP... and having ended up junking it a few years back. HDTVs are so cheap and plentiful these days, and in retrospect, with the massive, ever ending changes in standards, PLUS the fact there's no real 4K content (other then a handful of options) - there's really ZERO benefit. Save your hard earned money!
But computer displays appear to be going to 2560x1600 or so, at least, the tablet units are. Pixels are getting cheap. Yeah, I'm waiting!
I never thought even 1080p was necessary on anything smaller than about a 46" screen. Unless you sit really close a 50" 4k is completely wasted. I've got a 1080P projector projecting on a 92" screen that I sit technically too close to and the picture is perfectly sharp. I'd like a 50" 4k computer monitor so I could have more windows open and visible but it's a waste for video.
Imagine how boring the internet would be if folks were as civil here as they are in person.
Unless you are going to sit 10 inches from your screen, 4K will be of no benefit. 99.9% of the media available is 1080P or less and for $1500 you can get a 65" or larger 1080P display...

That's all I can think of that would certainly be a plus.
I know nothing about film formats and blue rays, though it would be nice to use that extra real estate to show a wide format movie, of which I believe there are some (??) that show bars on 1920x1080 screens. That would be cool.
So, apparently I should/shouldn't care! Not a technology that will be adopted so quickly considering that Blu-ray has not out-gunned DVD sales/rentals.
