You do not need a UHD TV. You can get a good UHD Blu-Ray player such as the Panasonic DP-UB820-K which allows you to play UHD Blu-Ray on an HDTV. It downscales to HD and converts HDR to SDR. Then when you do finally get a UHD TV, you will have your library of UHD Blu-Ray. Also, a number of UHD Blu-Ray come with the HD version.
It means that when you do finally get a UHD TV, you are all set and ready to go instead of stuck with an HD Blu-Ray player and HD Blu-Ray.
I've tested this on my Panasonic and it dowsclaes and converts HDR to SDR rather well.
