The Netflix picture I'm getting is better than the 1080 that I get from Directv. I've seen Comcast HD and Directv HD is superior looking, so the Netflix 4K on my 75" Samsung is looking really good. Although I don't have any complaints about Directv's HD picture.

Anybody looking to upgrade to 4K and going big, the Samsung 75" 4K LED Smart TV model UN75MU6300FXZA at Best Buy for $2297 is a really good TV, I've been looking at mine for about 3 months. However, if you're a Sony fan, they have the Sony 4K 75" Smart High Dynamic Range TV on sale for $2499 regular $3499.
