With a 65" tv (which is a much bigger screen), you have to sit closer than about 8 feet. And I'm guessing the wife isn't going to let you plunk down the couch that close to the tv.
I don't know what your budget is, but if I was in the market for a new tv I'm going for the best picture...and that just happens to also be 4k: LG's OLED55B6P. It's about $2300 new right now (from reputable dealers), but I imagine prices will come down several hundred over the next 6-12 months.
The LG 55EG9100 (1080p) is a good compromise for $1400, but it's a curved display instead of flat.
Man, you certainly know your way around when it comes to this subject. Thanks for all the info. Thanks to all of you guys, you've been very helpful!
