I believe all of Netflix's original content is 4K as is most of Amazon's.
I have an Amazon Fire TV that's 4K. It does me good.

Is it 4K if you watch on an iPad? Aren’t their screens better resolution than TVs?

Almost all 4K movies produced for Netflix are garbage.
Almost all movies shot in 4K on digital cameras are garbage, PERIOD.
You know what’s really quality and looks excellent on a UHDTV? Blu Rays. Any blu rays. Also anything in HD on Amazon.
4K content just looks cold and digital and un-film-like. But *everything* in regular HD (like blu rays) looks amazing on a 4K/UHDTV. Like, way better than a “regular” HDTV. I don’t understand why, but it’s true.
Just watch whatever you want, but on the blu ray format or a high def stream.
The Swimmer (Burt Lancaster, Joan Rivers) looks gorgeous, for starters. To Catch a Thief. Persona by Bergman.

I only watch Murder, She Wrote.
Will 4K affect this?

What is UHDTV?

This link says that people cannot discern a difference between 4K and the earlier generation of displays.

R4, I don’t think that one is available on blu ray or on TV in high definition, sadly.

R5 UHD is Ultra High Definition that most people incorrectly call 4k. 2k and 4k are movie theatre resolutions whereas UHD is 3840 x 2160 or 4x the pixels of the typical 1080 high def video resolution (having an exact double in each direction makes the processing/math easier to display HD content on UHD).

Even if you watch a movie in 4k on Netflix it isn't really 4k all the time (even with a really good internet connection). It switches between 4k and HD all the time and you can't really tell the difference unless you really look at the little info box.

4K digital video doesn’t look that impressive in general and also in comparison to digital 1080p. That goes double for when you’re streaming. What’s really blown me away has been watching remastered classic (film) movies, both on regular Blu-Ray as well as UHD. There’s a richness to the pictures that is really compelling, and that makes even otherwise forgettable flicks a sensory treat.

R4 is a liar. He also watches Matlock.

R4 Murder She Wrote is out now on lovingly restored BluRay!

4K needs a minimum of 55" to be appreciated. If the screen is smaller the human eye can't tell. Even High Def, you can't tell if the screen is smaller than 32"
Most of this is simply marketing, a lot of the high def and UHD is simply upscaled so it's not even the real thing.
Actually outside of fast sports and nature shows, the whole high def thing doesn't add much..

4K, OP?
Where you been? I’ve had a 4K TV for 5 years now.
8K TVs are now available.
