I don't think we're all that far away from the boxes being sold separately and just the screen itself being sold as I have a feeling 4K will stick around for quite a while now.
Yep, we've got one. Had it for almost 3 yrs now.
Our TV is a curved 65" 4k which sits on a 'stand' (actually an Ikea 6-compartment, 180cm wide cabinet I guess you'd describe it as), as opposed to being wall mounted. The One Connect is directly behind the tv on top of the cabinet and as you say has all the various inputs going into it. A neat idea with the idea being that as technologies evolve, you just replace the One Connect (which I think is around £300/400). That's a hell of a lot better than replacing a tv that cost us over £3k when bought new (worse "I splurged loadsamoney on a tv post ever!").
If you are looking to wall mount, I can see the One Connect being an excellent way of hiding the multitude of wires into your tv.
