Is it possible to get a 4k @ 120 regular TV without spending a fortune or am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

Cable still compresses the HD signal so you're not getting "true" HD (1080i/p 720P) unless you're using an over the over the air antenna.
There's no need for the 120hz, as your TV is extrapolating the extra frames to smooth out the video. It leads to that "realistic" soap opera effect you get. It's the first feature I turn off if the TV has it, as I can't stand the effect.
