Currently have a 50” Samsung Q80.

Like it. But need something to mount on the wall to make room for some new furniture and the 50” is too small.

Thinking 65”. But the room has a lot of windows / light. Need something that won’t catch a bad glare.

Any recommendations?

My sony OLED catches a bit of glare, but not too bad compared to my older LG. When it's dark out, like this time of year, nothing compares to it.

You need to go into a Best Buy at look at the TV series (not necessarily exact size) and figure out which line has the glare resistance you desire. I have a 3 year old TCL 4 series that's just fine with a lot of windows.

Do TCLs have "talk" remotes?

Mini LED is your answer, the higher end models are reasonably priced and have very high peak nits to handle bright rooms well. And I wouldn’t even look at a tv under 75” (or even 85”), you’ll 100% regret going 65”

*my wife was pissed when the giant arse box the 85” came in, but after a few months even she admits how awesome it is and is glad we went bigger than 65”.

I’ve been very pleased with my Hisense U7N I got last year. The U8 series is even better
But the 7 series was the sweet spot for price last year

If you ever wanted that 100in screen there is one at Costco for 1699. I believe it’s a Hisense, but don’t quote me on that. I don’t know the specs, but it looked good enough in the store for me to try and justify the purchase, lol.

This is utterly room specific. In a dedicated TV room, sure. Or in a family where TV is their primary focal point, probably. But in a room where the TV is just a part of the room and not the focal point? 85” would look very silly in all but the biggest of rooms.

No way I'd pay $1600 for a TV.
