Why UHD 4K TVs are stupid

CNET: Why Ultra HD 4K TVs are still stupid (Read full story)
The flood of TVs with higher resolution than 1080p is inevitable, but at typical TV sizes, quadruple the pixels makes no difference in picture quality and are not worth the extra price.

"The eye has a finite resolution" ... "84-inch TVs are never going to mainstream" ... "Viewing distance hasn't changed" ... "4K is easy to market" ... "There are no standards"

Bottom line
Nothing I say will stop Ultra HD. Look no further than our own CES coverage for proof of that. TV manufactures are smelling margin like blood in the water. This is something they can do, now, and for a profit. So it's happening, whether it's necessary or not. Instead of improving aspects of the image that need fixing, we get 4K because it's easy to do, easy to sell, and easy to demo. Awesome.

So before you jump down my throat for being "anti-technology" or "anti-innovation," understand I just want better picture quality in the home, for less money, and Ultra HD 4K is not the best way to do it.

What are you views on UHD / 4K resolution TVs?

i prefer a smelling feature on TVs so The Rock can say :

more seriously , TV channels cant even reach those resolutions so it is useless for now

No surprise, it is as useless as a 1080p screen on a phone.

Compared to a 720p it is neglegible, except if the screen is large (something that is 5.5" or more).
