Ah,so no real benefit at least to me.Anything much above the 40" tv I've got would dwarf my room,so needing something over 50" would be pointless.Thanks for the info though.
Also worth pointing out that under 40" you would really struggle to see the difference between 720p and 1080p content at a comfortable viewing distance anyway.

At 4k, apart from demo content, most new 4k media will be films in Cinema Scope, so you'd lose about 30% of your pixels anyway (upper and lower black bars, unless you want to chop the sides off), so until someone brings out a extra wide, wide TV screen to view Cinema wide content its all a bit pointless at the moment for home use.

At least I don't have to bother updating to one of those then :y The 40" I've got now is 1080p,and given that my room is 14ft at it's widest/longest I've got a viewing distance of approx. 12ft.

12ft is a good viewing distance, especially over the Christmas period, your head is almost guaranteed to miss the telly when you fall over blind drunk. :y

I'm envious. Even more envious than I am of your Astra. :)

I can still remember the first two televison sets we had 50 years ago.

Yes indeed. The Dynatron was the model prior to the Orgasmatron. :)
