I have a 58 inch Roku and unfortunately my vision is declining and at the viewing distance in my living room I struggle reading some text. I'm thinking of moving up to 65 or 75. I'm in a rental until next October so not looking for anything super premium. I intend to buy another home next year and will eventually probably get an 85 inch frame TV as my main unit but no point in doing that now. The TV I'm looking for now will more likely be a secondary TV that I'll throw in a spare bedroom or something later. I am looking for something that has decent anti glare properties though.

The only answer to find your appetite for glare is to go to Best Buy or similar, and look at different series of TV from the same brand (TCL has I think 8 alone) and figure out which one looks the best to you, and then buy it wherever you want.

If you're talking about closed captioning text, I think (I'm guessing) the size is dictated based on a percentage of what the screen size is. Bias lighting behind the TV (you stick it to the TV, not the wall in many cases) may help make your eyes adjust to the text on score bugs, etc., better. They're cheap and worth a try.

Jumping from 58 to 65 already makes a noticeable difference at normal viewing distance. If glare matters, look at mid range LCDs with good matte coatings, Sony and TCL usually handle reflections better than cheap panels. Skip OLED for this use case since it costs more and glare can be worse in bright rooms. A solid 65 now makes sense and you can go big later when it becomes the main TV.
