I bought a 75" TCL 6 series last year when we moved to a new place that had a finished basement that is essentially soundproofed. The seating is 12' and it's perfect for viewing and listening.
Thanks- I have an old 55" and I'm like 12' away too and its niceI bought a 75" TCL 6 series last year when we moved to a new place that had a finished basement that is essentially soundproofed. The seating is 12' and it's perfect for viewing and listening.
Agreed. I have one issue. My TV is in the corner and the chair I use is in the far corner.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.
Another 3' maximum...but that's assuming your expectation is the best AV experience possible. I have a decent home theater system so I do enjoy the 12' distance...especially for movies. Tough to beat a decent flick on Blu-ray.Thanks- I have an old 55" and I'm like 12' away too and its nice
Now how far could you pull that 75" back and still be happy with it? That is the issue.
I agree. We have a 65" Hisense Roku TV I picked up at BJs two years ago in our beach house. Viewing distance again...10-12' max. with a decent HT I cobbled together. Paid $350 out the door for Hisense. The picture is outstanding and I can only put sound system through its proper paces in winter when no one else is around.If you have to ask, then get the larger TV, you wont regret it and the price is pennies over its lifetime, never mind its a source of entertainment...
Even though its not in your price range and not a consideration, stay away from OLED in a room that large and such a long distance from your chair to the screen, way more so if the room is bright during the daytime with daylight.
Well made LED will bring more satisfaction and disappointment is possible with OLED in a bright room or a room where you are so far from the screen. OLED look great standing in front of them at Best Buy when you are 5 feet away watching phony program material put one in a home watching from up to 30 feet away in a room lit by daylight and you will find out LED would have been a better/safe choice.
Good to know as I do like my LED TV now.If you have to ask, then get the larger TV, you wont regret it and the price is pennies over its lifetime, never mind its a source of entertainment...

People certainly think what the Tv tells them to think and do what the Tv tells them to to. I have friends and my sister and her loser husband regurgitate everything the Tv tells them as it is the truth and the light,,, in the room.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.
I like these table mounts for up to 86" tvs.I have a 1080p 75” Samsung smart tv that’s about four years old. I haven’t had any problems until this summer, when I started to notice bright white spots on it. Apparently the glue that holds the light diffusers isn’t great. That TV will be demoted to a guest room, and replaced with an 86” 4K smart TV for Christmas if all goes well. Go for the bigger screen over more bells and whistles. Just remember, if you don’t wall-mount it, that the TV you choose has legs narrow enough to fit on the furniture item it rests on.
Actually i haveHave you ever heard anyone say "I wish I'd bought a smaller screen"? I sure haven't.
Maybe, but TCL has been accused of serious spying-allegedly actually watching you as you watched it and reporting back ( China?). This was stopped after they were caught but speaks alot about its corporate culture. I'll avoid this brand forever no matter how "solid" they are. Just my opinionAgreed. I have had both.
TCL seems to be a solid basic TV.
Yes but I was watching them watch me too...lolMaybe, but TCL has been accused of serious spying-allegedly actually watching you as you watched it and reporting back ( China?).

They can all report back to the mothership. Samsung just revealed they can lock a stolen TV.Maybe, but TCL has been accused of serious spying-allegedly actually watching you as you watched it and reporting back ( China?).

Agreed. Going for a 86"I can't imagine watching TV 30 feet away with anything less then a 75? I am looking at getting an 85-86 to replace our 6 year old Sony 65 and it is 15feet away from the couch.
have you narrowed it down to which one?Agreed. Going for a 86"
I seldom use the "wimpy" speakers that come in any TV.Better experience with 4 speakers vs. 2 speakers. Check out the speaker count.
