Right now it seems the Samsung ks8000 models have received recently a substantial price cut.  These models feature hdr, 4k, and very good quality.  Not sure about dynamic hdr metadata.  They also feature very good latency in games supposedly.  Around 1000 for 55 inch depending on store.


The 6300 Samsung  is good for around 1300 depending on store you can get 70 inch tvs.  Think they've hdr, need check, not as good as the ks8000, but supposedly gaming latency is very good, need to check that too.

Now the 55 inch oled b6p from lg, can be found at places like best buy for around 1800 dollars.  The picture is the superior one, best quality, latency might not be as good.  But this is definitely a must have set.   Don't know about dynamic hdr metadata, but the specs are very good with per pixel illumination, hdr, 4k.    I think this model doesn't feature 3d, but similar oled models do feature 3d for similar price, iirc.  IF you get  an oled make sure to get the extended warranty, as I'm not sure if panel lifespan issues have been entirely solved in oled tech yet.

Another option is the lg uh8500, it's hdr isn't as good as the b6p or the ks8000, but it has 3d and it can be had for around 1100 in some retailers. 

Consider it is pretty likely that oled 4k hdr will likely be around 1000$ by next fall, making all current deals obsolete.   But if one wants to experience hdr 4k right now it depends upon how much one wants to pay.      Personally I wouldn't buy a tv without passive 3d, 4k, and hdr, I can tolerate a bit less than optimal latency if passive 3d is featured, but would obviously prefer both excellent latency as well as passive 3d.   Let's hope Cameron still stands with 3d in his next movies, which might spur 3d support again.
