and note if you have, let's say a 60" HDTV that isn't 4K, realize the pixels are of a certain (tiny) size, and your viewing distance is related to the size of those pixels. Optimally, one should sit just beyond the distance where your eye(s) can make out those pixels such that you are seeing maximally all the detail in the picture. Afterall, if you're 5 or 6 times too far away, you have de-res'd the picture back to standard definition, and lord knows we've had our fill of that!
So, it works the other way too. If 10 feet away is just past the distance where you can make out the pixels, and you then buy a TV with pixels roughly 4 times smaller, then you should sit 4 times closer.
So, that would be 30 inches in regards to the prior 10 foot viewing distance.
See where this is headed?
If you buy a 4K TV and don't want to move your recliner to 30 inches from the new TV, you need to get a BIGGER TV to get those 4 times as many pixels up to the same size as the pixels on your old HD TV.
In the case of replacing a 60" TV, and you're not wanting to move your recliner, you'll need to get a 120" TV.
Or resign yourself to the fact you're paying money on picture quality you will NEVER enjoy.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
