Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Dunno.
They're making 110" screens now (maybe bigger). There are applications for huge screens, and huge screens need lots of pixels. Pushing the number of pixels up is a good thing, even if we can't think of an application right now.

E.g. It would be nice to be able to see 4 PIP displays on our 42" set. But even if the cable box let you do that, the pixel resolution at 1080p is too small to read text that way. E.g. a screen for the weather, a screen for Google News, a fish tank screen and a screen for a news conference or speech or something. Bloomberg clients would love something like that...

Yeah, we won't see 50" 4K screens for under $1k in the home any time soon. But I think it's coming.

There's more to life than movies. ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New Now *that* is...
A good reason. Have 4 times the pixels to have 4 things going at once... now it the TV can keep up (if its the processor to combine the sources) this would be a good thing.

I can imagine: Weather, Video Games, a TV show from DVR and maybe a browser

But its a long ways off... being affordable.

It’s merely anecdotal, but someone who can severely misconstrue the meaning of “Green Eggs and Ham” has no business being considered smart.
