The difference is stark. That 1080P looks like a 1970 vintage TV screen in comparison.That said I'm not crazy about getting a 4K TV just yet. I cut the cord quite a while back and am using YoutubeTV and Cox which has a 1TB limit on all their data plans which is actually pretty generous and I'm still using most of it each month with no 4K hardware. 4K is going to really run the data rates up when it becomes prevalent and that's where the service providers revenue will come from eventually. I'm perfectly happy with the OTA digital resolution, whatever it is, as it's better than Cox HD cable and it's free. All providers are going to have to up their data limits to compare with Cox's and give various tiers for data purchases and rollover data options like with cell service. To make the only jump Cox offers which is unlimited it's $49.95 extra per month which doesn't make sense when one is just going over 1TB by a little ways. There will have to be a more pricing tiers from everyone eventually. If not, I'll drop my speed, quit streaming altogether and go to a low entry level data plan for email and such and just use OTA for TV.I dropped cable to save money and it appears that they will eventually just try to make it all back on internet data as more and more switch to streaming. It'll all just be connection speed and data from the providers at some point. Who knows Blockbuster might make a comeback! <img src="/images/smilies/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
