1) 4K TVs are virtually the only resolution available for purchase today. If you buy a new medium or large-sized TV for any reason, it will be 4K.
2) HDR works for any size and distance. TVs that do a good job with HDR will look a lot nicer than old, less bright models.
- Exmoor 6y ago1) You're (outside of some relatively small models) very right here, but TV manufacturers are starting to push 8K sets with negligible benefits for most people's scenarios and little to no native resolution content. 2) Absolutely. One of my eternal frustrations is many people's hyperfocus on a single metric when comparing products (resolution for TVs, megapixels for cameras, clockspeed for processors, etc.). Your average consumer would be much better off focusing on other image quality improvements like the things Rrtings includes in their reviews.

Not quite a worthwhile compromise. Not everything is about optimizing for the numbers. You don't have to plan your TV watching experience to the mm in order to enjoy it. You can have the TV at a slightly non-optimal distance, use the integrated speakers, or view content that's not high bitrate 4K or FHD.
