Some terrestrial Playback TV and Film channels, now offer (at extra cost) the option of watching in 4K.
We were shopping for a new TV quite recently and it wasn't the max resolution but another technology in the makeup of the TV that made the clarify absolutely superb. There was a demo playing of some fire up the screen and it almost looked like it was lapping out at you. The colours were SO crisp and vivid.
Alot of new Action cameras (such as GoPro), also Drones, will record in 4K video as standard. Some upto 5.7K. However the storage requirements, recording at such a resolution is massive compared to the popular 1080p. Also post editing, its far easier and quicker working with a smaller 1080p clip over a 4K equivalent (that requires a high performance computer also).
Plus producers (on youtube) know 4K TV isn't (yet) the norm, so no reason recording in 4K when its just a guy riding down the road with a camera on the side of his helmet, or a sporting event etc.
Later Playstation consoles offer 4K games. Which is the opposite to scaling down a real piece of footage (for the above reasons) - instead wanting to play in 4K+, to enhance the lifelike effects and realism in games.
