Thank you for posting that, it follows my own experience.
I use an HDR2000 TV and found it to be so wonderful my next one will be a good quality HDR4000. I was close to getting one this year but am waiting to see how well next years models behave.
This will be for material graded HDR4000 or higher, it doesnt make sense to pump HDR1000 material up to HDR4000.
I have at times pushed HDR1000 up to near HDR2000 because it works quite well, but not for everything as it can be fatiguing (when the display is capable enough).
Doing the same to near HDR4000 wont be a good idea.
But a lot of material is not HDR4000 or higher so an HDR4000+ display will have limited use until this changes.
I cant wait for the holy grail of inky blacks and HDR10,000 but I doubt it will happen within 15 years unless some super new tech comes to light
We should have HDR4000 to HDR6000 with inky blacks by then though, the latter of which wont be too far off the HDR10,000 experience.
Fun
ps
The first iterations of microLED (corrected, wrote miniLED originally) wont be much better than HDR2000. The ability to handle high heat quickly needs to be addressed to prevent rapid burn out like OLED currently has.
Smaller LEDs heat up faster without a decent heat sink.
This heat sink needs to be small as possible, reliable and not make any noise. I suspect a lot of fins on the back of the display will become the norm, unless planned obsolescence isnt prevented by law.
Either that or an even more efficient LED or equiv is available with flat enough response throughout the range to be useful for a high end display.
(lack of a flat response will either mean much more power is needed at certain light frequencies (wearing it out faster) or the max output of the LED will need to be derated, OR, the response will not be linear enough for high end displays)
