Do you have any recommended reading on 4K? Will 4K still be over HDMI?

I am far from well read on it, however I do recall reading that HDMI specs will continue to carry 4k signals. I am doing the same thing recommended here of running conduit alongside my HDMI/Ethernet cables to my projector, so if specs change drastically I can simply pull another cable through.

I think that Blu-ray is the expected medium to carry 4k content as well, so for the most part I think adoption should be fairly seamless.

As far as 4K being noticeable, I beg to differ, I've noticed with anything larger than a 46" that I can see the pixels, and I've never thought of myself as having keen eyesight. A 100" screen (16:9) gives you ~7 pixels per linear centimeter.
