You may want to slow down his speaking rate using the gear icon and selecting 0.75 under speed. (9 minutes in is the 4K spiel)

For instance, your tv likely is upscaling 1080i (many local network affiliates broadcast in 1080i or 720p) or 1080p content to near-4K. My cheapo TCL S405 I bought last year does this.
A potential problem with that is the low-end TVs may have a poor upscaler in them. So 4K sources may look great, but everything else gets poorly upscaled to 4K.
One of my TVs, I purposely bought a 1080 instead of 4K because practically nothing viewed on that TV comes from a 4K source, it's mostly 1080 source, and the comparably priced lower-end 4K TVs at least at the time made 1080 and lower content look worse than it does on the 1080 TV. (and, at those comparable prices, the 1080 TV was bigger.)
Just something for people to be aware of if they aren't already. It's almost a moot point now though since it's getting harder to find new TVs that aren't 4K.
