This is the most competitive price band in television, and also the one with the most misleading specification sheets. Refresh-rate marketing terms, dynamic contrast figures and HDR badges are largely meaningless here; panel type, backlight control and processing are what you actually see.
Decide first whether you want the biggest screen or the best picture. At this budget you cannot have both, and the honest answer for a bright living room is usually size and brightness, while a dark room rewards contrast.

Occasionally, in smaller sizes or on clearance. When it appears, it will beat any LCD in the band for contrast — but check brightness if the room is sunlit, since that is where OLED at this price gives ground.
For films, no — cinema content is 24 frames per second. For sport and console gaming, a native 120 Hz panel with variable refresh is a clear, visible improvement.
No. There is essentially no 8K content, upscaling gains are marginal at normal viewing distances, and at this budget the money is far better spent on a brighter panel with local dimming.
In a bright, busy living room, size and brightness win. In a dark room used mainly for films, contrast and processing win. Be honest about which room you actually have.
