Thanks for the opinion Gboz.  I wound up doing a lot of comparisons as you'd said, and in one lucky case they had the Sharp 4k 60" Aquos side by side with its older 60" HD predecessor  showing the same video which happened to be aerial fly-bys through a mountain range along a river bank. I watched that from about 5 ft for nearly 20 minutes as the video looped, and just as you'd said I was hard pressed to see the dots on the HD 1080p. Not only that the HD 1080p was on sale at $1400, while the 4K listed at $5400 (USD equivalent prices). I wound up getting the HD at $1400. I figure I can do something better with the savings which ironically turned out to 4K
