The 4K Movement is about a lot more than just pixel count.

1) More Pixels. 3840x2160 versus 1920x1080
2) More baseline Color 10 Bit versus 8 bit available on most displays. Provides smoother gradients and less blocking
3) H265 (HEVC) vs H264 Better encoding algorithms allowing for less bandwidth usage while providing a better quality image.
4) HDR. Many sets are set to support HDR videos that provide a wider dynamic range, colors mastered in P3 instead of Rec 709, and a higher range of brightness (500 to 1000 nits on several models) This means that your brights are brighter, your blacks look black and not dark grey, and you have better contrast in the images.
