Yeah. I'm kinda' in that boat too. I read a really good article recently. The article points out that at normal viewing distance, most (maybe all) people can't distinguish a difference between UHD and 1080p. There is a point where you are paying for something new, without actually getting any measurable benefit. I'm not rich enough to do that. Maybe if I had a 100" screen... but I'm still at 65".
