We've had our 4k for 2 years now. SD upscaled looks washed out, 720p upscaled looks pretty damm good, 1080p upscaled is superb & 4k is awesome. I watch as much UHD content as I can get inc Netflix & other sources.
At the time of purchase, our TV was top of the range 50" 4k 3D Panny & cost a few quid shy of £1.5k. Looking back I would have spent the same amount on a larger but non-3D tv by Panasonic. 3D is good in 4k but more of a gimmick, watching terrestrial tv in 3D lasted about a whole day & we've watched around a dozen 3D films & that's it. Quite a lot of the major manufacturers are no longer producing or adding 3D going forward.
