I really don't care once you get passed DVD quality. It doesn't really "enhance" my experience.

I'm with you, I don't see much of a difference at 720P or even 1080P. HD really isn't the standard yet, I know my cable company doesn't show anything in 1080P with most shows/movies at 720P. The young people on this board don't realize how long it took for HD to happen, 4K will take a long time to end up on TV screens at home.

The adoption cycle is much shorter with each iteration. 4K should be around and common in less than 10 years. Digital movie theaters are driving this change and adoption. Most digital theaters started with 2K resolutions, and are now moving up to 4K resolutions, so we know the content is there. The problem becomes space. A typical 2 hour long 4K movie in scope is usually about 400GB(they send them on an HDD). These things are huge.
