Ugh. Our set up is really not good for more than 65" or so (70" max)

I'd say we'd just revise how we have our basement configured, but given we've got to move every couple of years and it's better to maintain some flexibility if, God forbid, we wind up in DC or some other high cost area where we can't get an oversized monstrosity to put the huge amount of stuff the two of us own. I *guess* 65" is an upgrade from 42", and in 7 years when I'm able to retire (from this job) and stop moving as much, we can upgrade again.

Back to the board

    - Depending on room size, 65" is plenty. That would seem huge after being used to 42". 140% larger by area* - By wolvalum August 19, 2026 at 10:26:52 PM
      - Yeah yeah yeah. It's just, you know, I'm an American, so I need the biggest most ridiculous sized shit imaginable.* - By Damaniac August 19, 2026 at 10:43:31 PM
        
        You could do the most American thing ever and just buy the biggest possible tv that'll fit in your current space. And then ditch it for another one in your new place if it doesn't fit* - By wolvalum August 19, 2026 at 11:57:15 PM

    - You can get an ELITE Samsung 65" OLED for $999 from BestBuy right now. A great one for $479* - By wolvalum August 19, 2026 at 10:23:48 PM
  - just insane, and that's such a sick screen I'd imagine you enjoy it. Even just 10 years ago that was a 20K setup* - By Daytripper August 19, 2026 at 10:09:43 PM
    - It's unbelievable. The 85" in the basement technically has better specs, but this thing is perfect for a brightly lit room and I'm not enough of a snob to care. Especially when I'm mostly watching sports* - By wolvalum August 19, 2026 at 10:16:50 PM
