4K TV Question: Does it require special broadcast or content.

Takes BluRay to tell any real difference. BUT most 4k TV's have
240mhz minimum refresh rates pumped up to over a thousand that definitely improve action or motion.... like a football or baseball being thrown... on large screen TV's. On slower TV's those can seem to "checker" across the screen; just not quite seamlessly smooth. 4k screens have improved blacks and dark grays but even then it's hard to tell a difference with normal viewing but with demand movies you can see some improvement. They look really great in stores in demo mode especially beside an older screen. Make sure the unit you're looking at is adjusted for "normal" brightness and so is the screen next to it. If the store is brightly lit (most are) adjust both brightness settings simultaneously. This is an old trick to get you to spend more.

1) you need to sit close to notice. 2) cable TV is not broadcast in 4K
3) 4K isn't that great. It just increases pixel count. Same color range, etc. 4) Netflix and YouTube have some 4K content, but you need to stream it and it requires a lot of bandwidth. Sony and Sansumg make a 4K stand alone "video server" but it's $$$.
Wait until an affordable OLED with High Dynamic Range comes out. However, if you haven't calibrated your main display yet - start there first.
