The only way to do this I can think of would be to buy a 4k computer monitor. You'd then need a smart, blu-ray, PVR to give you the smart features (catch up, youtube etc), DTV (so you can watch live terrestrial TV) and blu-ray/DVD playback. I *think* Samsung do one? You need it all in one because most monitors will only have one HDMI port. You'll then need to do something to get sound, probably a soundbar or something connected to the optical out of the all-in-one box.
Not a good solution, but there is a way.

As fadeaway said, pretty pointless on a screen that size.
Think you'd have to sit close enough to lick it before your eyes would pick up the difference between full HD and 4K.

The premium you pay for "4K" on a screen that size, you may as well buy a good quality 720/1080p screen. There is a lot more to picture quality than resolution.

I agree with the others, no point in 4k at that size, I would only suggest it over 50 inch and even then you would struggle to find 4k content. Its a bit to early for 4k imho.
I agree. I'd be tempted to hold off of 4K at any size at the moment due to lack of content. Having said that they are relatively cheap so for larger sizes may be worth it.I was a relatively early adopter of plasma TVs when they became available. A 480p screen was over £1k cheaper than a 720p screen at the time. By the time 1080p material became widespread, a much better 1080p screen was available for less than £1k and that always makes me wary of buying anything just for future proofing.
If I was buying a 55" TV now, I'd go for 4K just because the price difference is so small, but I dont think that they are available or worth Italy 32".
