New TV Needed

I Need Some Advice From The "Experts", Please.

My Mitsubishi WS 55" TV Of 13 Years Just Went Out With A Failure Of The Red, Green, Blue Component Port. The TV Now Has A Very Greenish Tint. I Can Get A New 55-60" 1080i LED TV For Around $600. Should I Upgrade To The New 4K Technology? Supposedly Most People Can't Appreciate The Difference In Picture Quality Unless You're 3 feet Or Closer To The TV. My Viewing Distance Is 9 Feet. If I Get A 4K TV, The Models I'm Looking At Are The SONY XBR55X850B & The Samsung 55H8550. Both Of These Are $2K At Best Buy. I Keep A TV For Around 10 Years Or More Until It Breaks. From What I've Read The New 4K TV's Upgrade A Standard Definition Picture To HD & The HD Picture To 2160i. Any Advice, Recommendations? Thanks So Much!
