Lots of 4k video on You Tube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. It DOES make a difference even though most content is up converted.

I do have a question. Do other providers such as Comcast, Dish, Spectrum and so on, offer 4k?

I would get a 1080 - 2160s are still quite expensive, and there isn't that much programming that justifies the cost.

I would recommend that before you buy one of these things you check AVSForum.com for reviews and also its forums. It's a site for everything audio/video.

Please note that as of today the FCC has NOT set a standard for the broadcast for over the air 4k also know as ATSC3.0 which is the next generation of television. This is another milestone advancement in home entertainment which will be transitioned in over time as it is not compatible with curent tv technology. Just as we made the transition from analog to digital, this digital upgrade will move tv's to the next generation of digital technology which open tv up to greater platform compatibility.
So before you sink a bundle of money into 4k you might want to hold off until the FCC rules on ATSC3.0 by year end.

I bought a great qled Samsung for 1500. Let me tell you that it makes regular 1080p look amazing. I know it will be a year or more before true 4k, but in the interim this is still a big improvement over 1080p television .

Huffmd - Do you have U-verse TV? I Bought a QLED TV yesterday (w/ pearl HDMI) and the HD Channel quality now looks awful. We previously had a 1080 TV and the HD quality was fine. Been on phone with Samsung, AT&T, and Best Buy all afternoon. No solutions. AT&T technical support person told me U-Verse wasn’t compatible with QLED TV and that content would be blurry.
