Though 4K isn't being sent over the air (and may not do so for awhile as it requires twice the bandwidth of HD) there are numerable ways to watch it.
Netflix and Amazon both offer 4K options, in the US PPV movies can be watched on Satellite. The new Xbox S offers a 4K option and there are 4K Blu Ray versions of films
Is it worth upgrading ? if your TV is working probably not. Whether it's worth including 4K as a Must-Have in your next purchase, obviously cost is an issue, but also consider how far away from the TV you're sitting. Based on a ratio of screen size to distance the further away you sit the bigger the TV needs to be to see any difference. So you probably need to be looking at a 50"
The Picture of a 4K is vivid, though I came from an early HDTV to a 4K model the difference was quite noticeable but I've seen later HDTV models which knocked mine out of the field so it's probably not a leap for you
Also consider the band width of your broadband, watching 4K shows on Netflix can really push up your data limits
