We sit 12 feet from out 108" projector screen. It's the same solid angle as a decent seat at our cinema. I can certainly see the difference in source definition. But the projector is a vintage Sony with very low resolution. The brain removes the chickenwire. I'll be in no hurry for 4K.

Do you get neck strain frm moving your heads around so much?
I'm currently about 70 cm from the 36" TV I use as a computer monitor and the lettering is slightly jagged. It looks fine for most things put I do push the chair back to a metre for full-screen Youtubes, Fibre HD TV and DVDs.
I've just seen a 50" ish Samsung OLED TV on demo at Costco. Not sure what resolution, I assume 4k, but it was stunning and wafer thin. Unfortunately it was curved, but a stunning picture. It was £3500, which is very pricey, but a factor of 10 cheaper than a couple of years ago.

Not at all, as I said...

In truth it might be nearer 15' to the back of the sofa. Hold your hand at arms length, stick thumb up and pinkie down. That is the vertical screen height. Most TV's have a miniscule solid angle. We also have a 42" Plasma TV behind it for domestic duties and a 32" in another room. There is no point feeding the 32" and HD signal. Even the Pioneer struggles to show a difference at the viewing distance.
