My fiance and I just moved to a new condominium a few months back, and I am in the process of setting up a home theater in a dedicated, completely light controlled room. Its not an overly large space, but should be at least reasonably adequate for our needs. I have all of the electronics and speakers covered already. The big question is the television. We currently have a three year old 65" LG-E7P OLED. While an excellent television, it seems too small for our viewing in the new space. We want a big, engulfing and stunning image.
The television will be used 90% for cable tv, Netflix, and Amazon, 10% for Blu Ray movies. So while the movies should look great on just about any good tv, the other content that we view 90% of the time is most important. We are sitting 9 feet/2.75m from where the television screen will be.
I have been debating as to what size would best present a truly big scope effectively given our seating distance. A couple local people, with significant television expertise have recommended 77" as they feel 85" might be too much for that distance. Also, really good televisions in the 77" range are much more affordable, and there is much more variety.
Televisions I have been considering are:
Sony XBR-77A9G (available at a great closeout price)
Sony XR777 A80J
LG C1 OLED
Samsung QN90 Neo Qled
Any advice, expertise and recommendations would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
