Unless you are looking at true 4K material up close (say a few feet), you probably can't tell the difference between a 4K and a 1080p version. Our typical viewing distance is 12 feet for a 75" set. There is not much material in 4K. You can find some nice 4k demos on YouTube, typically nature scenes.

Note that Netflix just increased their prices this month. The standard service is now $17.99 per month, and the premium service is $24.99 per month.
