And all I wonder how they will market that considering 4k is already total overkill for the human eye at Couch viewing distance?

Probably with those hilarious up-close magnifying glass comparison stands in shops that you already see with 4k screens ... usually with the full HD comparison screen having horrible picture settings as well so it "quite obviously" "looks" worse aha. ;-)

It might be good for VR HMDs though.

Will this still be relevant when the world graduates towards OLED?

Depends on manufacturing costs and yield.

I haven't read up in a couple years probably, but OLED was supposed to be the next actually worthwhile leap in display tech (as opposed to simply upping the resolution when we've already passed the limits of the human eyeball from reasonable viewing distance or stupid gimmicks like 3DTV)
