I'm kind of torn about whether this is good for the industry or bad. I've always liked Samsung monitors so I don't think their position in the enthusiast market is compromised, but it will be interesting to see if the competition is actually a threat (capable of making good panels for less money) over the next few years.

Not to mention it's highly impractical in a 'watching TV at home' stance, for both you and the broadcaster.
The practical limit for home use is really 1440p.
If you're talking about broadcast infrastructure, I might agree with you, but the highest usable resolution in your home theater is far, far above 1440p. If you double the size you can double the viewing distance, and since 4Kx2K is practically the most you'd want on a 15" monitor at 3 feet (at least right now, that will probably be doubled at some point in the distant future), your 46" TV should be good at that resolution from 9 feet away.
Remember, if your screen is putting out more detail than you can see, that's good! You can't have the absolute best image possible if your eyes are capable of seeing more detail than the screen can deliver.
