The price premium is there but also plenty opportunities to shop around for a last year's model https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/31784.html https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/ProductCategory/31784.h... for example, Samsung QP82R is an 8k "TV" for €3500. My worry is can I it decode all standard codecs from USB source? Apparently Samsung in 2017 removed DTS and DivX /Xvid support. Decoding on the TV is key as only then you get the best motion interpolation algorithms. Playing from Raspberry via HDMI you don't get these.
