For instance, one could have said. 'It's resolution. The same way were have 1080p horizontally right now, 4K is two generations after that and is actually just simplified to 4K even though it's the standard multiplier resolution has when going up.'

That would be awesome, and then others, who are also just browsing the thread wouldn't have to Google themselves plus it adds to the discussion.

Anyway, I guess this is really only important for big screens? It's not going to be noticeable on things under 40 inches or so.
Wikipedia definition for a kegerator is hit #1 on google Maybe it wasn't when you searched, who knows.

I would tend to agree that it's not going to be super useful or make a lot of economic sense to consumers on sub 40" television sets, although I'm going to reserve judgement until I get to see one in real life - the reason I say this is that a retina macbook display, even when viewed at distances where the doubled pixel density shouldn't make a huge difference, is definitely perceptually better.
