New TV - 4K or 1080p?

I currently have a Samsung 51" 720p plasma TV and would like something bigger with better resolution. So I'm curious what TV I should purchase, 4K making this decision more difficult.

  • My budget is in the $700-$1000 dollar range, with hopes of finding something around $850.
  • I should also note that I've got a $500 gift card to best buy, so it's got to be available there.
  • I use the TV to game on both a PS4 and XBOX One, also lots of Netflix/Sling/Amazon Prime.
  • 3D doesn't matter to me.
  • As 4K content becomes available on Netflix I'm sure I'll watch it, but I don't buy blue ray's.
  • One thing I love about my current TV is that it allows me to play .mkv files directly from a USB drive, this would be nice to have on the new TV as well, although I don't think this is advertised so I'll have to test in person.
  • 55" is the size I'm currently set on, maybe 60".
  • I sit about 8-9 feet from my TV.

Should I be thinking ahead and buy a 4K TV or buy a 1080p TV? I'm sure both will be a noticeable upgrade over my current 720p TV.

Two TV's I'm considering:

VIZIO - M-Series - 55" - LED - 2160p (M55-C2) VIZIO - 60" - LED - 1080p (E60-C3)
