The last television I bought was a 19 inch CRT 16 years ago and I thought that thing was huge. I've been using my girlfriend's 49 inch Samsung for the last 5 years and that one seems fine but it appears it's time to upgrade.
I don't have cable, everything I watch is on Kodi and I'm not that concerned with the difference between A- or A+ picture quality, the content is more important to me. I never watch sports except for the occasional soccer match and most of the television use is for vintage video games, though those are slowly being moved to a projector setup downstairs.
I was out today and saw a 65 inch LG 6350 television (discontinued) which is 1080P for $1000 and am going to buy it unless someone points out some major issue with it.
Like I said, I don't have Netflix, I don't have cable and every show we watch is through Exodus in Kodi. Whether we watch the 1080p stream or the lower quality stream, I don't normally notice a difference. I do have a Nintendo Switch but I think that's just 720p.
