The placebo effect at work. I doubt you ever ran a true A/B comparison and as I already stated if you see an improvement between 1080p and 4K material at typical viewing distances it is probably because of HDR. The physics of the situation are pretty clear. Regarding LCD and LED, they are essentially the same technology. What people call “LED” is an LCD with LED backlighting instead of fluorescent tubes.

Many factors come into play. Individual visual acuity, LED vs LCD vs Plasma, others. I sit roughly 9 feet from a 65” 4K TV and the difference is obvious...and very enjoyable.
