I have been an early adapter all my life. My latest early adapt was to get a 4K TV. I had to upgrade my surround sound system first to one that was capable of handling a 4K signal. I got a Yamaha 7.1 receiver, 7 Polk bookshelf speakers and a Polk powered subwoofer. It sounds fantastic.
The TV I got was a 49 inch Vizio smart TV:

I planned on upgrading my Internet connection to be able to receive a 4K signal but after watching the TV for a few days I decided that was not necessary. I get a 20 meg signal and that is good enough for 1080p but not good enough for 4K. However there is very little 4K content out there yet so there is no rush.
The shocking thing about the TV is how much better 1080p looks compared to a normal 1080p TV. There is a huge difference in the quality of the picture. The difference in the detail is staggering. I did not expect the upconverted 1080 to look this good. I don't know why it is so much better because in theory it should not be that much sharper. Not only is it a sharper picture, but the dynamic range has a massive increase, the amount of grain is reduced and the amount of artifacts is greatly reduced.
