Why would I replace my TV?
Why indeed? With an OTA DTV converter, that old 15" CRT shows content just fine for free.
Why would I replace my TV?
What a great marketing idea... so Apple releases the 55" with the A5 processor regular screen, then 3 months later releases it with a A6 processor with Retina Display making everyone TV obsolete..
I would love to see a Apple TV with Retina display..
... and other recent claims that Apple's television projects are being slowed by difficult content negotiations, there would be little chance of Apple showing off anything at CES.
When you stand farther away yes, the image seems clearer, but the overall image size is smaller.TVs are already Retina if you watch them from more than about 6 feet away.
I'm betting that an Apple TV will have a front facing camera on it.
A telepresence feature would need a sensor (camera) to detect when someone is in the room in order to perform some programmed action such as turn the TV on from standby mode, increase or decrease volume, etc.
And as has been Apple's recent practice, this camera would NOT have any sort of warning light to let you know that it was on.
iMacs have a green warning light telling you when the camera is on and active. But none of the iPods, iPads, iPhones have any such warning light.
Why is that???
And there is no hardware control to turn off the camera either. Creepy.

Ideally you want the TV to be high resolution even when you are close to the image. That's the purpose of the Retina display.

So what your saying is my Macbook Pro from 2 feet is the same as a Retina? Awesome just saved me 2 grand..
Obviously someone at Apple knew that people would want to know when their iMac camera is ON.Just wait until they integrate a visual hand that comes out and taps you on the shoulder or wants to shake your hand.
However, I kinda agree with you: what I'd like would be a "dumb" TV with just a nice display and some HDMI ports that left the "smart" stuff to the boxes you plugged in.
