I know the larger size of TVs are prohibitive for use with desktop gaming, but size aside are modern TVs better quality for games?

Looking around they all seem to be 4K, HDR with some having 120hz, etc.
 
A bit of context for my original post; we recently moved house and I have commandeered a spare room downstairs as a gaming/movie room. I have thrown out my desk and chair and replaced with a sofa and TV cabinet, but now I need a bigger screen :)

I was initially interested in the upcoming big format gaming displays as it ticks a lot of boxes, and then some. But I heard these were delayed until next year so started researching TVs. I realise that none of them have gsync, which is a shame, but I can live without that.

I'm currently looking at either a Samsung Q9 or the upcoming Sony Z9F in either 65" or, if we see any decent price drops, 75". I'm also keeping an eye on the upcoming Samsung 8K, although 65" will be my limit with this one. I will probably get something on black Friday so I'm just reading around until then.
 
Something I don't get... HDR certification for monitors is VESA DisplayHDR, but on TVs there is HDR10 and HLG, with Samsung going with HDR10+ and others going with Dolby Vision. How do all these relate to each other? Confused:)
