That's pretty cool - I hope they bring these out soon!
But, since I hate incorrect terminology, this is wrong:
4K = 3840×2160
Some TV manufacturers incorrectly use the term 4K like this, but the way it's been used for the last decade in the film industry (and is specified in standards like the DCI spec) is that 4K refers to images with a horizontal resolution of 4096 pixels [1] (the number of pixels vertically changes to accommodate different aspect ratios - the pixels are always square).
The TV industry is using 3840 because it has four times the resolution on 1080p. I don't think there are any specifications for this resolution, so there's no official term. I've heard it called QuadHD or 4xHD though.
1. There is one exception, which is 3996x2160 (1.89:1 aspect) but all the others are 4096.
