4k will slightly improve regular hd picture with up conversion. As mentioned very little content so far, dish is releasing their 4k product late spring, directv will be similar time. Most content is currently from streaming, the biggest problem is bandwidth, don't know where you live but in rural areas good luck. Our broadband is up to 10 Mbps and it took 6-7 hours to download a 40 minute 4k program! People have said even at 50+ Mbps a2 hour movie takes 4-6 hours. Compression schemes are improving so it will get better.
Also keep in mind there is a reason Visio tv's cost less than the top brands. They are popular being pushed by Costco and best buy and are a fair buy. They don't manufacture they assemble from various sources some good some not so good. Just installed a 55" this week looked like crap. My opinion LG, Panosonic, Sony, sharp, toshiba, samsung. In that order. LG has the best panels many brands use them, some vizios. Mcdonalds and verizon stores are pulling out all samsungs and putting in LG's. Macys, BMW, Mercedes, putting in LGs. CES best of show, home theater mag "best tv ever tested". If you run signal through an a/v receiver most won't pass 4k even if it's rated for it. Many also require hdcp2.2 on the hdmi port.
Also in a previous post yes over the air free tv will look better than dish or direct or cable SD. Most over the air is 720p some 1080i. If the channel is running many sub channels ie. .1 .2 .3 .4 then they will not have enough bandwidth for HD on the primary channel. Dish or direct hd will be similar picture to over the air hd, but both are compressing signal as much as they can and still have acceptable picture quality. Sorry for the long post!
