My cousin was in the same boat and decided on the 85" Samsung.
It looks like the football players are going to run out of the screen.

My dad just recently went into a nursing facility. I inherited his 2 year old 50" VIZIO TV. I'm going to move my 43" LG TV into my bedroom.
Keep in mind the larger the TV, the more separated the sound is from someone speaking.*
So if your watching the news on a big TV, the sound doesn't line up well with "Walter Cronkite's" head.
*Sony does make some OLED TV's with Acoustic Surface Audio which uses the whole screen as a speaker and sounds phenomenal.
So if you have money to burn, buy this:

Exactly as you said. I couldn't set that thing to sound good. Actually it was painful listen to.
30ft is a LONG distance is it really 30 or more like 20ft
IMO 55" is about right for 8-10 ft away.
If you look online they will recommend a 96" or bigger for 20ft viewing distance.
I would get the biggest that isnt crazy price ie under 2k.
or you could do an array tv setup .. ie 4x 55" tv's

Must not make snarky comment.
There is a rule about the best viewing distance for each size TV. I'd get out the tape measure and determine where you want to sit from the tv. I think my 75 inch preferred distance was only 10 or 11 feet.
Since I had my cataract surgery just recently I feel like the $6 Million Dollar Man watching my 43" TV (Soon to be a 50") from about 12-15' away.

Good for you!!!!!!!!Since I had my cataract surgery just recently I feel like the $6 Million Dollar Man watching my 43" TV (Soon to be a 50") from about 12-15' away.
For watching movies the screen should occupy 40 degrees of your field of view. At 30' distance a 16:9 100" screen gets you to about 37 degrees.

Wow.....
I hear you need a minimum 18ft. to watch a 86" TV.
Someone lied to you!
As the saying goes, you can never be too rich and the TV can never be too big.
Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in 1953 where he predicted that people would be obsessed with getting bigger and bigger TVs in the future. He's still right.

The houses get bigger and your eyes get older too.
TV Size to Distance Calculator and Science
Our TV Sizes to Distance Calculator helps you choose the right size TV for your space. The optimal viewing distance is about 1.6 times the diagonal length of the television. For example, for a 55” TV, the best distance is 7 feet.

Have you considered a projector?
I have a friend with a projector onto a big flat wall. It's enormous, fantastic, and far less expensive. And it's mounted on the ceiling so takes no floor space.
