And wild to think that nowadays 43” is on the smaller side even for a non home theatre “living room” TV— the standard is much more around 55”.

Seems like every time I've bought one "standard" has moved up a size. My current is a 65", the one before that a 55", a 47" before that, and I think a 43 or 44 before that.
Yup, I have a 65” 1080p panel that came with my house and looking at a 77” 4K OLED to replace it.
The suggested viewing angle of 30-40 degrees has been stable, so it becomes a matter of how far away the seats can be to maintain that angle on a reasonable budget.
I actively waited for 47ish OLEDs to come out and drop in price before upgrading my tv as didn’t want or need anything bigger but definitely wanted OLED.
I’m getting bigger because I can but really going to OLED/HDR is a far bigger upgrade then either the size or the resolution bumps.
The resolution bump is a pretty big deal too, paired with 4K Bluray discs and players. Only way to get HDR content that hasn't been webcompressed to shit.
