Personally I think 4K is a waste at the moment. Really depends if you want to future proof yourself for 4K. Currently there's barely anything that's 4K anyways. By the time it's mainstream, pricing for 4K will drop huge and be way better.
I used to sell TV's a long time ago when flat panels were just coming out. Everyone was buying HD TV's (720p)for stupid amounts of money but again nothing was 720P anyways. Fast forward 15 years later and 1080P is finally standardized. Had I bought a HD TV then would've been a waste in my eyes. Wouldn't have been able to use the HD TV much until 8+ years after. By that time better TV's are out for less.
Makes more sense to me to just buy a 1080P TV now for like $1000, then in 5+ years upgrade when 4K TV is like $1K. End result probably spending about the same and you won't have a 1st generation 4K TV when things start coming out in 4K.
If you're a tech junky that just wants bragging rights about 4k, hardcore gamer waiting for the new PS4 4k, or have a hardcore computer you plan on hooking this to, or download 4K movies then buying 4K makes sense. Just my opinion.
I don't think UHD is gonna be mainstream until the stupid internet providers get rid of the internet caps, or double the download cap.
