I have an fairly high end TV and honestly I don't know what the point is because there is virtually no content that's available for it.

Pretty much none of the streaming services go beyond 4K and often they're at 1080p and I have to upscale to 4K. Consoles also don't go above that 4k and again often in fact don't even hit that.
