X7000e : the most basic UHD TV entry from Sony last year , second cheapest among your list , steady brightness , NO WCG (expected from this price range ) , No Local dimming ( again , expected from this price range )  , good motion handling , MI / BFI options to play judder-free 24p content ,  great sport programs supports , doesn't support WiFi 5G , the 55 " version is a VA panel which I would recommend if you can find one cheaper .

XF70 / X7000F : The successor of XE70 . I find this TV slightly brighter than XE70,  might be due to panel variance .  Other than that , not much has changed from its 2017 predecessor.

XF75 / X7500F : In a nut shell , a repackage of the XF70 model in Android TV OS .

x8000e : Lotsa fanbois singing praises of model this in Lowyat ,  to the point comparing it with OLED , truly the joke of the decade. One of them attacked me with a death threat before . It's scary when people paid a large sum of money for something mediocre yet want to feel justified for the high expenses.

Back to the TV , this is actually a decent SDR TV just not for the price it is asking . It used to be much more pricey. 

Being a mid range TV, the brightness of model is very limited , which hampered its ability to display any decent HDR .
There is also the inherent flaw of unimpressive contrast level being an IPS model .  It does has a Wider-Color-Gamut compare to the basic 4k models ,  mediocre motion handling ( worse than XE70 in fact) . Input lag is a little on the high side as well , which means it is not very suitable for gaming purposes .
Samsung : Their lower end TVs has been getting worse by each year , from the all amazing KU series to the not so impressive MU series , this year's NU series is a hit or miss

MU6100 : The MU 6 series have amazing contrast ratings , despite of not having a local dimming system .  No support of WCG , No local dimming ( it relies on Samsung's CE dimming ) , great BFI (if you can withstand the screen dimming ). This is the most complete 4k entry level VA TV ( features wise ) in 2017 . This TV model has been discontinued .

NU7100 : The successor of MU6100 , more or less the " castrated " version. Picture Quality should remain in the same levels as MU 6 series while some of the features such as WIFI 5Ghz , blue tooth , smart remote control  & voice control are removed .

Nu7400 : Suppose to be the true successor to MU 6 series with Wider Color Gamut , also has a steam link support . It is essentially a NU7100 but has all the trivial features from MU 6 series . Slightly more expensive than the former two.
LG : LG's Mid ~ lower end models love to use RGBW panel , buy at your own risk

UJ630 T =  The cheapest TV among the bunch .  This TV uses RGBW panel , which really hurts its color volume especially when showing Brighter NON-white colors  ,  if you decide to use your TV as monitor one day , colorful fonts are going to look weird.  If you can look past this , it isn't very different than the Sony x7000e .

SJ800T = The supreme UHD LED TV from LG , of IPS panel . This is probably the best TV among your list , it has all the features required to display HDR  . While it still can't really compete with higher end models, this is the most comprehensive IPS TV you can buy @ around 3k
As for screen size , Amazon recommends the distance from your 4K TV to be around 1.5x  the size of TV screen  . EG : for a 55 inches TV , the distance between you and your TV should be @ 55 inches - 75 inches .  Although the whole point of getting UHD TV is , you can sit closer to the screen to witness the awesomeness of all the 4K pixels

Wah. You seem to know very well in TVs. Honestly with 3k now, in 2020, I think UHD TVs are quite decent already. My sister just bought a Samsung UHD TV for 1.5k during some lazada sale. Now the price is back to 1.8k hahaha.. Damn worth it..
