I bought my 1080p LED backlit 60" Vizio panel back in early 2015 and it's still going strong!
We still have a 55” Vizio LED/LCD 1080p from 2012? Going strong as our living room tv.
Not upgrading till the panel literally dies.

I'm still rocking the last good plasma panel, the Panasonic VT50 from 2009, it was good enough for 3d review of the first avatar film in meeting rooms and I'm just waiting for it to die so I can upgrade.
It's the next 3D.
They try to expand in all dimensions. Bigger panels. Higher res. Higher bit depth. Increased contrast ratios. Stereoscopics. Higher refresh rates.
Yet to find a real world use for anything over a 65" QHD at 60Hz 8bpp.
It's very different. 3D TVs actually had a difference in viewing experience
It actually made it worse.
I watched only one movie in home 3d, but I liked it.
Look, you're happy with a mid-range setup, good for you.
But sticking your head in the sand pretending that there aren't affordable features that improve the experience is Fedora wearing nerd shit.
The fedora-wearing nerds are ones with 244Hz ultrawide 4k HDR monitors.
What you're describing is everyone who just wants to watch a TV show comfortably on their sofa. You could swap any TV for a base-model TCL the same size and they won't notice.
Even the gamers won't want 8K. You'd notice the drop on FPS more than the increase in quality.

60Hz ewwww
8bpp ewwww too
I got a 1440p monitor, it's 32 inches, and predominately use the bigger area for coding
I got an 27" 4K screen at home and I wouldn't want less pixel density for work. At work I got an 24" 1080p screen, which is OK, but not great.
To this day, I I never owned anything higher than 1080
