4K isn't just about resolution, the bigger advantage is colour depth, NOT resolution. So any size brings greater quality.
No one disputed that. He stated the size is too small. Improved color depth doesn't change that fact.

What he/she referring to is the Rec. 2020 spec for 4K/UHD which specifies a wider color gamut.What color depth are you referring to.
Of all the aspects of Rec. 2020, this is the part I fear is most likelynot*to be implemented. These colors are so radically different (that is, better) than what we have now, it's going to take a lot to get current technologies to be able to produce them. Most TVs today are capable of a wider color gamut than Rec. 709, but not this wide. According to sources I spoke to, no current TVs can produce these color points.*
Just got the LG 55" 4k for Christmas for $899 plus tax using a Microcenter coupon. 1080p gets "upscaled" a little, actually looks a bit better. The LG uses an IPS screen too. Really no 4k content but was upgrading a 10yo JVC projection DILA so couldn't pass up the $899 price when it still is $1399 at Bestbuy and Amazon.

It is the size offered.Curious as to why a lot of people like 55 inches so much?

Not sure how LG apps are but apps with 4k content on my Samsung are
Netflix
Amazon Prime
Ultraflix
M-Go (talked to someone who brought one on the 4k movies they weren't overly impressed. More detailed but nothing mind blowing)
1080 upscaled does look good.
Too much compression for a streaming website. I've tried 4k Amazon Prime and it didn't look much better than 1080p streams. It's very similar in picture quality to be honest. You'll probably need the actual 4k disk to have the same quality as Best Buy displays.
4K Netflix looks very good if the show was produced in 4K. Marco Polo looks great. The Blacklist also looks good, but is the previous season that I have already watched.
I do still watch 99% 720p, 1080, and 1080p content though.
to me its just another marketing gimmick...no interest in it at all
Did you upgrade to the 4k monthly pricing structure? Those shows already look good in 1080p but I don't pay for 4k Netflix stream, so I can't compare.
I only had Netflix for Blu-ray. I did not like the quality of their streaming service when I tried it a few years ago.
I signed up for the streaming now to try the 4K shows. They had a promo for a free month. I just checked, and I have the $11.99 plan with Ultra HD.
Also, the amount of 4K content is very small. You may want to upgrade your plan for one month to try some of it, and then go back if you want. I have read that much more is supposed to be added early in 2015.
Take a look at The Blacklist tv series on Netflix in 4k and let me know what you think compared to the other things they have.
We watched the last episode of season one on Netflix 4K, and then followed it with new episodes from season two in 1080i on the DVR. The 4K versions are noticeably more detailed. Particularly facial features, skin texture, and hair.
I still think Marco Polo in 4K is a little better, but close ups in The Blacklist are very good. The different nature footage and Smurfs 2 look great. Smurfs 2 is a terrible movie though. I tried watching the movie Hitch from 2005 in 4K, but it wasn't too impressive.
I'll buy a 4K TV when OLED has been out a few years and has all of the kinks worked out. Until then i'll be happy with my ST60

Broadcast TV compression is horrible, especially if you aren't pulling it OTA. I would bet that 1080p from Netflix would look much better than what you have on the DVR, and maybe even similar to the 4k version.
