HDR or 4K gaming? You have to choose one.

Optimal for me is 1440p, HDR and 80 to 120 fps.

4k is overkill unless someone has a 75 inch TV. 

And make no mistake, 4k takes a huge amount of resources.  I get 40 to 60 fps on TLoU at 4k.  1440p I get almost a locked 120 fps.  

Higher fps is absolutely game changing.  It impacts gameplay.  My accuracy in games, like RE4, is so much higher at 120 fps.  

Yep, 4k is definitely for TV console gaming but I'd say depends on distance. 4k on a 43" is still a massive improvement but you really need like 50" + to start seeing the gains. I'm 10 feet from a 50" and find it's a great sweet spot but alas, this is mostly TV cause PRO is usually 1300p or 1800p. 

4k is great when it can be pulled off.  But it requires some power.  A lot of power tbh.

If I were going to rank fidelity impact:

1) panel quality (OLED by itself is a massive upgrade)

2) fps, because it directly impacts gameplay via accuracy 

3) ultra settings via lighting, particles, shadows, textures, volumetric, etc.

4) resolution
