    I just went through this. I had a 55 inch Sony 4K Android tv from 2017. I loved it, operating system was easy to use, got updates and apps (I.e prime video wasn’t a thing back in 2017, but can still download the app) I was tossing up between 75 and 85 inch now. Opted for the Sony Z9F 75inch for when it was on sale for $3k a few weeks ago.

    We sit about 3.5m back from the tv and it’s pretty huge. Picture quality is good too. I wouldn’t go bigger than 75inch at that distance.

    • In market for TV in a few months and will be similar distance away, when you say "pretty huge" is that too big or you're happy with the size?

      • Its about right, It pretty in your face but 65 would not have been big enough.

    • We will be about 4.5m back, 85 might be too big?

        Some people find it helpful to get a bedsheet/cardboard/masking tape or similar and make a rectangle that’s the same size as the TV they’ll be putting in the space. That way you can get a bit of an idea of how big it’ll look in your room from your viewing distance, not just in a store that likely has high ceilings and a lot of space either side of the TV.
