   Yeah - maybe not for physical panels (1080p looks amazing on a 60 inch   
   plasma or lcd but 4 times the resolution just wouldn't be noticable at   
   the distances you're viewing at), but I could see 4k being viable in   
   homes with projectors - and of course a 4k projector will eventually be   
   as affordable as a 1080p one is today.
