The net result is not good. LCD displays that claim to be HDR don't
look much better than SDR LCD panels.
LCDs are much brighter than OLEDs, but the blacks aren't as black. So I'm not
so sure what the net effect is so bad. This article explains that OLEDs have
given LED lit LCDs an incentive to improve, and gives comparisons, and in the
end, wonders how long OLEDs will continue to win. Check out who won in the
brighter ambient lighting.

You are only considering one aspect of the problem: the display.
There is significant cost in creating and delivering 4K content,
Not an issue, right? Digital TV, as you say, "decouples" the display from the
content and transmission medium. 4K displays are the new normal, simply because
they are cheap enough. Even if most of the content on them will be SD and HD
for several more years.
If you cannot resolve all those pixels at normal TV viewing distances, ...
... who cares? That's how you should have ended your sentence. If the 4K
display costs no more than, or even less than, an HD display, nothing could
matter less than some theoretical best distance. This is the point. I watch SD
and ED on my HDTV much of the time. So what? And when I watch OTA channels, the
HD content is wonderful.
I'll bet you that HD sets will gradually disappear from store shelves, just as
SD sets have done. As I keep repeating, there is no downside. HDR and WCG will
add to the cost, but 4K sets without HDR and without WCG are coming in at
ridiculously low prices. No reason to hand on religiously to HD sets.
Ron just informed us about what can happen when compression is
abused,
That's a whole different topic, Craig. Now you're talking about the
transmission medium. The SD image can be displayed just fine on a 4K set.
