Here in the UK, I bought a 55” Samsung 4KHD TV on Black Friday........almost Half Price!
The quality of the picture is amazing.
Most of the time,the picture is almost 3-D, even on TV HD broadcasts.
Things like Nature programmes (David Attenborough,etc) look stunning and definitely 3-D like, with SO much depth.
Tracking shots seem to work best....ie, when you can see the view from a moving vehicle,or person walking. The picture really is amazing!
Blu-Ray looks fantastic on this too.
Over Christmas,we watched the Blu-Ray of “White Christmas”. The quality of these Paramount VistaVision movies is stunning to start with.....on 4K, you can almost put your arms around the actors!
Even older, B/W movies look better. I watched the original “3:10 to Yuma” recently and that looked equally stunning.
I have no qualms with 4K at all.

That article is not that new, but it remains basically accurate. The big irony in 4k is that the best use for a 4k screen is for 3d to eliminate ghosting and other artifacts, but all the 4k screens are being made without 3d.
Go figure.
Well, the 4K specification does not include a spec for 4K 3-D, but some 4K sets still include the ability to view 2K 3-D. And if that ability is based on a passive viewing system (i.e., not with active shutter glasses, but with polarized lens glasses), the 3-D will be at a resolution twice as high as today's 1080P sets.
Exactly, that is what I meant, the benefit is seeing a 3d image in full HD, instead of what is really 50% of it, and this does eliminate some artifacts. The CNET guys basically said the best argument for buying a 4k is really passive 3d, but no one is making 3d sets any longer, so that is rather ironic.

LG and Sony still have some 4K 3-D sets.
Not in the new years line up, the entire function is dead entirely from all manufacturers per this;
https://www.cnet.com/news/shambling-corpse-of-3d-tv-finally-falls-down-dead/
"It's been a walking corpse for the last couple of years, and now 3D TV finally looks dead.
LG and Sony, the last two major TV makers to support the 3D feature in their TVs, will stop doing so in 2017. None of their sets, not even high-end models such as their new OLED TVs, will be able to show 3D movies and TV shows. "
Wow, I wasn't aware of that decision by LG and Sony. According to one article, however, Panasonic is the last holdout, with one 2017 4K LED LCD model, the EX750, still capable of 3D (using the active shutter method).
