Everything is 4K now but you have to sit pretty close to the TV to really make the most of the increased res.
If you get a 65" 4K tv and sit more than 8.5 feet away, it looks exactly the same
8K is completely pointless unless you have a gigantic home theater.
Fool. Get an 80"+ TV. Set up a normal home theater. Sit like you would in a movie theater. For me that is sitting where the screen takes up a lot of the view. My "home" theater area is about 15 ft x 15 ft and is primary the living room. A large screen on the wall with speakers set into the wall.
You are free to watch 1080p videos on your phone while holding it a few inches from your face. You decided how well that simulates a movie in the theaters. With a good home theater setup you wife will cuddle up with you. That may not be important to you.
