I do agree the visible benefit for UHD resolution is in the 80" plus image range (depending on viewing distance), but UHD is about more than resolution. UHD also adds more color information that can benefit smaller image sizes.

That's if manufacturer's actually care about proper color reproduction. Right now the only thing that sells and manufacturers care about are gimmicks. When I still see "flagship" TVs from various manufacturers still having red bleed over/push issues, it is a total travesty.
4K right now is all about a spec which manufacturers can tell consumers..."Look 4K is greater than 1080." And consumers buy into this blind number.
It's a shame companies like Pioneer were driven out of the TV market. Just imagine what could have been if they were still developing TVs. Just look at how long the 9G/9.5G Kuros were relevant way after production ceased. My ISF calibrated Pioneer still trumps most current TVs.
