Eventually, you get to the point where something is good enough. When Blu-ray came out, I upgraded a fair number of my favorite movies to Blu-ray. I upgraded my TV to 4K a month or so ago. The picture quality is amazing, but I really can't tell much of a difference between 4K streaming movies and HD streaming movies. I'm probably not going to replace any of my Blu-Ray movies with 4K versions.

If you want a fair comparison, compare a HD stream on a 1080p screen with a 4K stream on a 2160p. If you watch anything on a current 4K TV the up conversion does a pretty good job - there is no simple stretching and repeating pixels anymore.
Unfortunately my internet is too slow to allow 4K streams - I too have recently upgraded my old TV (ancient 46" Samsung) to a new 4K one (cheap 55" TCL).
