Looking to buy a TV for my wife and I's bedroom. TV is on wall opposite of bed about 13ft away. We also both have desks on either side of our bed and we sometimes turn around our office chairs and watch TV from there - this is about 13ft away as well, but about 45 degrees off from center. We also sometimes roll an office chair in front of the TV to play games about 6 ft away from the TV and, on occasion, I will set up a small/budget racing sim setup directly in front of the TV to play Gran Turismo 7. We also have a pretty good Sony soundbar setup with a sub under the bed and rear channel speakers directly to the left and right of the head of the bed (in the corners of the room). Additionally, things are pretty good as far as glare, with only one window in the room to the side (so there isn't any glare directly from the window/outside shining on the screen). We also have blackout curtains that can make it completely dark in the room even in the middle of the day if we want to. We do enjoy watching movies deliberately and would like a high quality cinematic type experience on occasion, but we do also have the TV on and watching shows via streaming services casually throughout the day with the curtains open.
We use a Apple TV 4k to handle all our streaming services, a Nintendo Switch, and a PS5 that we also use for Blurays (although I am contemplating getting a nicer dedicated Bluray player eventually).
I don't want my budget to go over about $1600 and what I'm really stuck between right now is getting either a: 65 inch LG C3, 65 inch Sony A80L, 65 inch Samsung S90C, or a 75 inch x90l. (The 77" OLEDs are just still a little too pricey, and the 85 inch TVs LCDs are too large and not an option). I also really would like a TV that supports 120hz, so that when one of us plays PSVR the other can spectate while still allowing the VR headset to operate in 120hz mode. Another constraint I have is that, because I live on Maui in Hawaii, Costco is the only place I can really get any sort of decent TV from. Both Target and Walmart here only stock lower end TV models and none of the major online retailers (including Amazon) will ship larger TVs here anymore.
I'm currently learning towards the larger 75" x90l with the logic that the larger size will probably yield a better viewing experience than any of the smaller (though better image quality) 65" OLEDs. Also figuring since we are going to have it on a lot throughout the day, while also letting light in from outside, that a traditional LCD type TV will hold up better in the long run.
Any advise or insight would be greatly appreciated.
