    I watch ALOT of TV... ALLLLOTTTTTTT... TOO MUCH...

    And much of it is local digital TV over the antenna (HD) quote Unquote HD... at 480 and 720 mostly, some is broadcast in 1080... and of course the dvds are higher... I have a hard time on my sony and visio 1080P TVs telling what is what.

    While at my folks house where they don’t yet have a HD receiver I can see a HUGE difference between DISH NETWORK typical signal and the local 490 and 720...

    The local FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE 480 and 720 is VERY noticeably better on a newer LG 1080 HD tv...

    In short, what signal will you be watching most of the time?

    On a 70 inch TV there may be some noticeable advantage to 4k but for me, I am tickled pink with my older Visio 1080 TV and my Sony 1080P Brava...

    Unless you are watching Cable/Dish that is HD most of the time, I don’t think you will be better off with the 4k... IMHO...

    I am so so so impressed with the free antenna TV signal compared to what is broadcast on Dish the majority of the time...

    NOT having dish/cable gives me a good excuse to go to Buffalo Wild Wings on FIGHT NIGHT... AND Im still $$$ ahead...

    IMHO, go for the 1080 TV and pocket the extra $$$, COSTCO is a good source from a price perspective IMHO...
