Why not 87 inches ? I have 65 inch TV and it's too small. I am being serious.
It's a valid question. The room we'll be in is large, but it's a rectangle and an 80" is plenty. Perhaps more importantly, it's an older home and the wife has got carpenters and painters in and I get 72" of width in the new built-ins...good for the 80" and that's about it. I'm pretty keen on a 75" based on the store visits I've made and the units I'm looking at (pretty focused on a Sony or a Samsung at this point).
For anyone else looking...I was crushed to learn that my Sharp Aquos, of which I have 3 at the moment but 1080p units, have gone to seed with their 4K offerings. Tons of quality complaints. I used to be a Sony guy some years back but they went to crap around 2000 or so and after replacing a couple of units due to them going bad too shortly after purchase, I switched to Sharp and didn't look back. Now apparently Sharp's relatively new manufacturing plant for the 4K stuff is putting out garbage. Bummer.
Software/GUI on the Samsungs is not all that great from what I've read and the reviews and while Sony is proud of their stuff as usual, they upscale the 1080p signals very well and that's where most of the content is and will be for a few years. Meh...
