I think 65 would just be abnoxiously big. The 55 gives me 10 more inches of screen than what I currently have.
When viewing in store I thought the LGs had the best picture when comparing LG OLED and Samsung QLED.
That's the model I settled on, except in 65". I have a 55" now and, based on pictures, you definitely want 65". My wall isn't nearly as McMansion as yours and the 55" feels smallish. Given how long you keep your TV, go bigger now and don't think about it for another 10 years. The 2017 models are coming out in a month or two and it's not a marked upgrade, so I'd wait for a sale on the 2016. Imma wait until Black Friday, if I have to.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
I am concerned the 65 will cover up all the shiplap.
A 65 will be as wide as my mantel....

That seems HUGE. My parents have a 65 at their place and I can see it from the end of their .25 mile driveway.
I agree a 65" is a little overkill for the living room. Do they make a 60"?

What's wrong with it being as wide as your mantle? It only seems large because your current TV is so dinky. When I get it, it'll be as wide as my credenza underneath it. Tape the dimensions on the wall and stare at it for a few days, if you're worried about it.
How far do you sit from your tv? That makes a pretty big difference.

No one ever got home and wished they bought the smaller TV

Agreed, but is 65 really worth almost double the price, I don't really wanna pay $3500 for a TV.
Also just in my browsing 60s almost no longer exist, all of the good TVs make the jump from 55-65.

Yea.....
I'm all for online purchases but believe it or not I have bought my last several TVs as open box items from Best Buy. You have to pick and choose but a stupid good deal can be had, unless you're after that one specific TV and have to be patient on the deals market

That's what I ended up doing, got an open-box Panasonic Viera(?) for a really good deal compared to new. I think it's a 55" and given how little TV I watch, has been absolutely perfect. Pretty sure it's LED.

The 65" in my man cave must have literally received, pulled out once and returned, it was perfect.

Our sales tax is 10%, so buying in store is pretty much never cheaper. I actually don't think I've ever seen a TV model in person before buying it. :lol:
This S8 is the tits, btw. Amazing what a fresh battery can do.

I've gotten several things from this. Wait until Prime Day and they usually even have more markdowns on warehouse deals and you can pick up like new for 20%+ off with a few scratches and that's it.

I can't wait to get mine, company ordered it on Monday! I get a 25% corporate discount on Verizon accessories so I ordered an identical Incipio case to the one I have on my S7. Even though it's a company phone, I drop phones all the time so i figure it's a good investment per usual
