I used to think the same way until I actually experienced it. I actually found 4K too sharp at first.
It really depends on your screen size and your eyesight.
News Season One hitting DVD/Blu-Ray in November

I think you mean 60fps video, or motion compensation , stuff that has been around from FullHD but is more jarring at 4k. I can't stand it. I always turn it off for all movies. Give me my movies at good old 24fps please. For live programs, sports, news, etc, it's awesome.But movies are horrible with it.
That doesn't say 4k or Dolby Vision, it just says Dolby Atmos, which is just the sound.
If it was Dolby Vision it would actually say Dolby Vision

DVD and Blu-ray will hit stores on November 13th for USA and Canada.
At present there is no date set for international release.
I got an email from CBS today.
So yeah atm it's only USA and Canada.

Good. Now I can complete my collection (sans Voyager) once more.
No it's not. You can have 4K without HDR, and HDR without 4K.
Specifically, is Netflix HDR not 4K HDR?
Isn't that like putting a Kanye West CD in between an above average Beatles tribute band and The Beatles?
Netflix will do HDR at lower resolutions too. (See the "How fast does my Internet need to be to stream Netflix in Dolby Vision or HDR?" question.)
The primary advantage of 4K vs 1080p in displays below 75 inches for typical seating distances in homes (75 inches is NOT a typo) is NOT sharper resolution. It’s a wider colour palette. The wider palette allows for more realistic greens and reds, in particular. However, so few people choose the appropriate settings on their TVs to benefit from the better quality that it’s largely moot. They prefer the “vivid” or “dynamic” setting that “pops” (despite being horribly inaccurate).
The next big benefit, that most people are likely to notice, is HDR. While HDR doesn’t require 4K, the reality is no 1080p display (with the exception of a few front projectors that mimic—some very convincingly—4K with pixel shifting technology) is equipped with HDR playback capability. Some computer monitors and laptop screens that are not 4K can do it, but no conventional TVs can.
As for 8K, the only real world benefit for consumer displays at that resolution is SIZE—as in 100 inches plus (and even then, I’m being generous—no commercial cinemas have 8K projection as it is beyond 70mm film resolution and I defy anyone to demonstrate they can see individual pixels on a 4K digital projection at a full 80 feet by 60 feet IMAX screen, let alone a smaller one). Unless, of course, newer, non-resolution advances, like HDR, are withheld from non-8K displays, as is the case with non-4K HDR. For archiving film masters, though, 8K is an important tool.
8K 3D displays, though, would allow for true 4K 3D (something currently unavailable to consumers and unlikely to emerge as home 3D is not very popular—much to my chagrin, but that’s me). But for the typical sized display and home space, 8K is entirely unnecessary.

I tried to post a GIF of someone doing 'thumbs down' but this is my first day on the internet and I'm still figuring it out.
I think the main appeal for the sets is that not only do you get the episodes, but you will also get all those extras.
Now I know some people will bork at that but to some, the extras will be worth the price alone.
