It's probably laughable to those here but I don't subscribe to any streaming or even basic cable service. I get news via internet, NY Times, et al.Except for free services like Kanopy, all my movie and vintage TV show content are from Youtube, but mostly from my own collection of 2K BDs and DVDs and those borrowed from local public libraries.
Being a huge film noir fan, OLED is the only way, and everyone also says Sony has the best upscaling for DVDs, which is essential as many of my favorite titles will clearly never see a BD release. So even though I will rarely be viewing 4K content the A95L still seems justifiable.
Where problems lie are with viewing distance. I want to keep my ~ 26" wide Troy Crowe floor standing main speakers 10 ft from me, which means that the TV must be at least a foot behind the front of them.
Would 11 to 12 ft be too far to enjoy my non-4K content?
FWIW, I keep my room dimly lit and will therefore be dialing down the TV brightness.
Note that a 77" TV is not doable since as its width would make proper speaker placement impossible, which will already be challenged by the 65" TV's footprint.
If only I had more space this would have been the one. https://electronics.sony.com/tv-video/televisions/all-tvs/p/xr77a80l
