If budget isn't a factor, why not not just say fuck it and buy something like this, Moneybags
Win the lotto or inherit a fortune recently? I can't think of any other reason to spend as much as $8K for a TV (according to the models you listed) when you can get high quality models for thousands less. |

Tucker:
you should go online and check out one of those screen size vs viewing distance calculators to determine the best size for your room. Only thing worse that going too small is going too large (there's an episode of The IT Crowd that demonstrates the latter). Be sure to also take into account whether you'll be watching anything standard-definition on your set or not, as that will affect the calculation, too. In my living room, I went with a 52" set. I worked out viewing distance (which included standard def) at home before going to the store (nine feet, I think). Since I was also testing multi-system compatibility, I had my blu-ray player with me in the store and a PAL standard def DVD and tried several TVs side by side. I know it might sound silly to some, but the picture on the 55" set I looked at showed a bunch of picture flaws at nine feet. If I hadn't worked everything out (and had my player/disc with me) I would've probably bought that 3" bigger set and made a big mistake! |

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ponder getting a Vizio. At one point I had 3, and had to replace 2 of the 3. The replacements were refurbished ones and both had to be replaced twice. It was a nightmare of an experience and their customer service sucks. Just my personal thoughts on that one. The others are good though, those Sony's/Samsung's. If budget isn't a factor, you should look into OLED panels.

Re: 75 inch or 85 inch tv???
Back when I was display shopping in later 2014, it seemed there were no LED panels 70 inch or above which did not have significant clouding and/or flashlighting issues. I wound up settling on a 65" which has minimal but not non-existent issues.
Are there any 70+ inch displays these days that don't have these issues? |
Re: 75 inch or 85 inch tv???
Too many problems with oled. I don't want to get 65 inch oled.

Employee pricing is cost +5% and TVs are some of the lowest margin items in the store, especially the large ones. So don't go in expecting that level of discount. Finally, you should really consider room size more if you want to go that big. 75" is probably on the outer bounds but 85" is really pushing it. |

this is so not true anymore. vizio is a pretty high quality brand, now. their reviews on the p series are nearly the best of any led tvs out there right now. only stuff getting higher reviews are the OLEDs.

Re: 75 inch or 85 inch tv???
The Vizio P series is the only LCD I'd buy at this point. They are great TVs at good prices.
Buying something more expensive, it would be an OLED. |
