Best large TV (70+ inches) for under $1000? (lemmy.world)

Please advise a different community if this one isn't correct.

I'm looking to buy a large TV for my living room, and I'm looking for recommendations in the sub $1000 budget. Everywhere on the Internet is suggesting OLED, but frankly they are more expensive than I'm looking for.

What are recommendation for good LCD/QLED etc in this price range?

Thanks so much.

"Large TV"

Me, having grown up in a time period where 13-19 inch 4:3 tvs were the norm, and 25 inches was big screen.

"Oh, you can find 40 inch tv's pretty cheap!"

they have moved, but I wouldn't call a 40" TV large for almost 10 years now.

I grew up in the 80s.

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

I thought I was a baller with my 22" RCA TV with actual composite inputs. No fuzzy RF for this guy!
