Eeh, realistically: new HDMI, new standards etc also require a new TV.Devices and features are generally getting cheaper, which generally shortens the lifecycle. Obviously it depends on budget but 10 years is a long time to target.
Buy cheaper and think shorter.
Pretty sure most peeps aim for 10yrs with a TV as well.
Also: unless you have a real reason to need 8K, 4K is maxed out. So it stands to reason that even if HDMI 2.2 is released (probably 8K120Hz / 16K), whether it will have features that notably impact your use-case.
Also, I know this may be a lame duck around here, there is also the environmental aspect to consider.
I don't think "Think shorter, buy cheaper" is a good mode these days. I rather buy quality and long lasting products.
This is not meant as: "3800H is crappier and will fail faster than 4800H". When my 250 bucks entry level Yammy can last 10 years, I'm sure a 3800H can as well.
