What the #### are you talking about psicodude? The chart doesn't say there's no difference between 480p and 4k. It says you can't tell the difference between different resolutions at a given distance because the human eye isn't able to identify resolution at those distances. That is scientific fact. It's biology.
If you look at a 60' screen from thirty feet, you will not be able to discern which screen is 4k and which is 480p on the basis of resolution alone. Of course you'll probably be able to tell the difference because an old 480p TV is going to be much worse in many other respects besides resolution than a newly created 4k screen. But if you took, say, a top of the line Samsung or Panasonic 1080p plasma from 2013 in 55", put it next to a random 55" 4k LED screen running a 4k video in a dark room, and tried to decide which was a better picture from 15 feet away, you'd pick the plasma because of better colour depth and black levels and because you can't see the difference in resolution. Period. This is simply reality.

Yeah, but it's more that you should buy a 4k projector if you want a screen size large enough for 4k to make any noticeable difference... and the reason you
wouldn't do so is that they're just not affordable yet. You're paying $10,000 minimum.
Until then, the best you can do in terms of picture quality is OLED. Realistically though, any good TV you buy these days is 4k whether you want it or not, unless you're buying old stock.
