Going up to 4K resolution TVs does allow you to move in closer to take advantage of the better resolution which does give an edge in competitive gaming and adds to immersion in watching movies or playing games.  I wouldn't say 4 1/2 feet away on the 55" TV is having your eyeballs too close to the screen.

This exactly. I sit 12ft from 65", didn't need to be 4K but HDR is nice. 1440p upscaled to 4K looks exactly the same to me as native 4K.

I could upgrade my 1080p projector to 4K (also 12ft yet 92" screen) however projectors aren't great at contrast and certainly not with HDR (unless you have $70K to burn)

It's different behind a monitor since you can always lean in to see more detail. While playing tlou2 I had to get up from the couch to see that the keypad I had to type numbers on was arranged like a keyboard, not like a phone/remote. Low contrast, zoomed out, can't see it from the couch. That's another thing, lower contrast, darker scenes need less resolution. 20/20 vision only applies to high contrast, well lit tests.
