I have a 65” and sit about 12 feet away. You can tell the 4k content difference from 1080p, it’s a nice upgrade, but not something you really miss if it’s not there.
I think you see it a lot more if you project like 120” screen and are 14 feet away. That’s where it starts to really come out, on the bigger screens, sitting closer to the content. As far as content, a lot of the TV shows from the last two years on most content providers is 4k available. Vudu is good with 4k as is a lot of Netflix stuff. Some recent movies as well, but a lot are still provided in 1080 instead. Can’t speak to satellite TV since I haven’t had that in years.

Some of the pictures on the Samsung TVs that are UTV or even Beyond UTV are absolutely astonishing. At the end of the TV section was the DirecTV rep. I have DirecTV satellite and I like my high definition picture and my high-definition home projector. All of my TV's in my home were purchased in the last five to ten years and they're all HD capable. Most are smart TVs that run apps but the apps don't ever update and you pretty much get what the TV has and that's it.... So I decided to get all excited I had a little money burning a hole in my pocket I thought I would grab one of these super duper Samsung Ultra high-definition televisions. Ok not really but lets pretend I did.... I told the DirecTV lady when HD first came out it took the broadcasters a while to start broadcasting in HD. I asked her for a list of which channels broadcast in 4k....She gave me the list.... 104.....DTV4k 105....cine4k 106....Live4k Basically....NONE How much programming on Netflix is in 4k? I am aware of the extreme bandwidth requirements.... And guaranteed if I got a hacked Amazon Fire stick it's not going to show me anything in 4k.... What is the point? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Smartphone
