I will hold my breath on getting any content for these sets for a long time. here is the basic problem, the entire infrastructure, from the cameras, to the studio editing equipment, to the storage equipment, to the transmission equipment all need to be upgraded to handle the bandwidth required for the 4K televisions. I jumped in when Beta was introduced (OK I am dating my self), and when 3D was introduced. Beta died even with better resolution cue to PRICE, 3D appears to be on life support due to production costs(?), so I use the set in 2D mode. I agree with OP the pictures are great, but I am going to wait for content to be widely available before even considering one of these.
Just MHO. Please enjoy your set, just don't be too disappointed if it takes years for content to become available.
