Looking for 4K high resolution. My budget? I'd say up to $1100 approx.
Also, do you hire someone to do the wall mount? How much did it cost you? I don't think I'll be able to do it.
Also, is 8K worth it over 4K? Any noticeable difference?
I would like to watch mainly sports (hockey).
I'd say, and I think most would say, forget about 8k. 4k is fine. I've never wall-mounted a TV, if I ever wanted to, I would inquire where I purchased the set. I feel that most times, a wall mount places the TV too high. The typical proper height, a stand will work fine. If one wants to forgo a stand for space or aesthetic considerations, well, then, just make sure it is installed at the right height.
I'm a fan of Sony and LG, but brands like Vizio, Hisense, and TCL often get excellent reviews as well.

theres no noticeable difference with 8k at any price!
how could the human eye ever hope to perceive detail that fine!
If you ask me these are just big numbers demanded by marketing men to sell shit and grudgingly implemented by engineers.
like 5 bladed shaving equipment.

I have no expertise or even knowledege on this.
I kinda figured 8K is a ripoff. Thanks.
shareI’m going to do you a favor and give you an informed, accurate answer. I sold the highest-end TVs in the world for over 20 years. Here’s how you select your TV: First, get a GOOD idea what size you want. Many people buy a size too small. DO NOT read the “info” cards displayed with the TVS, except for the size and the price. The sets, all crammed together on the wall, look much smaller when you open them up at home. You may be limited in terms of how much room you have to fit your TV, so that is a factor. Once you KNOW what size you want, the next step is easy: Buy the picture that you like at the price you want to pay. Period. You’re buying a fucking toy, you’re not taking the SATs. Whatever YOU decide is the best picture, YOU’RE RIGHT! It’s YOUR eyes. It’s YOUR money. Get what YOU like and you cannot go wrong wrong.
Vis-a-vis “lines of resolution:” the bullshit TV business is not run by poets. They cannot describe picture quality, so the pretend that stats like contrast ratio and lines of resolution define TV quality. Lines of resolution are 1 of the LEAST important factors in video quality. They have NO EFFECT AT ALL on contrast ratio or accuracy of colors. Contrast ratio? I love Panasonic, but they once claimed 1 of their sets has a ratio of “infinity to one.” Yeah, and the check is in the mail. FYI, the contrast ratio of a movie theater screen—which most people would consider the gold standard—is 300:1.
I can tell you for a fact that at least 1 out of every 2 salespeople who will help you does not know a fucking thing, but WILL try to sign you up for the Best Buy credit card and the extended warrantee.
Nobody NEEDS a TV. A TV is a toy. Have fun shopping for your new toy. And DO NOT scrimp on the sound system. Flat panel TVs sound like shit. Spend twice on the audio what you do on the video. Don’t you wanna hear that puck scampering over the ice?
imho, I'd say, just wait a few more years. 4k/8k tv sets will either be less expensive; or more likely they will be negligible as the world will have fallen into an all-out world war where nothing matters [not even grammar] except fending and searching for food and advancing the Procreation Development Centers (PDC) to counter the human depopulation plague.
