Again, according to eyeball geometry, with a 50" tv you need to sit closer than 6.5 feet to START to see the benefit of 4k. With a 65" tv (which is a much bigger screen), you have to sit closer than about 8 feet. And I'm guessing the wife isn't going to let you plunk down the couch that close to the tv.
I don't know what your budget is, but if I was in the market for a new tv I'm going for the best picture...and that just happens to also be 4k: LG's OLED55B6P. It's about $2300 new right now (from reputable dealers), but I imagine prices will come down several hundred over the next 6-12 months.
The LG 55EG9100 (1080p) is a good compromise for $1400, but it's a curved display instead of flat.
