I mean do you really need to watch the news in 4k? In sports it might be useful but again there is the cost to the content provider.

The 4K panels native resolution is 4k, all content is shown in 4K regardless of the signal, so imo everything looks better automatically.
Netflix alone already has hundreds of hours of 4K content along with all the YouTube stuff.
The only people who I've ever heard argue against 4K sets are people who don't have them/haven't seen them.
My buddy has an older Elite Kuro, always said fuck 4K I'll keep my TV, then he saw my XBR and was blown away.
Obviously all TV processors are not created equal, but when I was buying my TV 2 xmas's ago, the argument THEN was "future proofing"
Obviously two years later we are over that hump and with Rogers now supporting 4K TV services, and Netflix releasing all their new original content in 4K, what a mistake to not get a 4K set imo.
