re: Do you think the size of televisions in living rooms is getting absurd?

Good one. Even I caught on to that.
"Target" and "grabbed".

That Frame is pretty fricking awesome! Would be badass above a fireplace.

This is much like the threads about trucks with lift kits! LoL
Doesn't it come down to an individuals preference? Personally, I have an 80" in my living room and love it.
Not trying to get off point, but 4K porn is amazing!

I am a huge sports fan, a movie nut, and watch way too much television, but I’m in the market for a new TV and reading reviews/boards about the the options and there are 80+” TVs that people are putting in their living room. That seems ridiculous.
If you have a theater room that is for that purpose I get it, but it is absurd what some people are putting in the main “entertaining” rooms in their homes. Dare I say even trashy? TV's shouldn't be the centerpiece to a damn house. 65” is more than enough television and I just can’t see a reason to get past that. To me it feels like it has gotten to a point of diminishing returns.
Downvote away...
I’m building a new house and I’m going to have 2 75’s on my back porch, 1 75 in the living room, 1 82 upstairs in my media room, 1 65 in the master, and 55’s in all my guest rooms.

Open concept houses birthed this massive TV trend.
You can see the TV from all kitchen, living, and dining room areas.

My 55 inch fits the apartment perfectly. In the house we are building it is going to be an open concept living room and pool room connected so I'll have a large TV there because it makes sense in the layout. Right now it would be dumb.

While I agree with your point, think of how absurd the above quote would've sounded just 10-15 years ago
I bought a 67 in 2008 and people would always comment on the size of it. Second biggest one sold in stores at the time. It was awesome and last me 10 years.

As long as it's not mounted above the fireplace. That's trashy.
Not so much that it’s trashy, but more bad for viewing. Your sight-line should be parallel or at a 10 degree angle from the ground at most.
Anything higher and you’re putting unnecessary strain on your neck.

I drove past a little shotgun shack one night and could see a TV screen through the open window. I swear it took up most of the wall.

50 " in living room, 55" on patio, 65" in media room.

Sometimes a 65" can look like a 32" if it is on a huge wall/room.
This.
My 70” looks like a 55” on the wall.

Yeah it can get annoying, but a lot of variables.
Fire places can range from shorter to really tall, mantles can be offset much higher or right above fireplace, etc.
Ours would work (though not sold on location yet), especially if we tilt the TV angle down a little to help viewing angle.

I thought the OT taught us a decade ago that a TV above the fireplace is trashy

The TV market decided it didn't need my participation a few years ago. I've switched to using computer monitors to watch TV, supplemented by extremely cheap CRTs I buy at Goodwill for less-utilized areas of my home.
The new TVs on sale tend to have poor integrated audio and integrated software that I don't want. Using computer monitors plus my regular stereo systems for the sound is a much better solution.
Don't know if I could get a 70" monitor. Haven't really shopped above 30" or so.

The interior designer let us get a Samsung Frame over the fireplace in the living room, but only 43 inches
85 inch on the wall in the family room that opens into the kitchen.
It’s the only thing on the wall so I don’t think it looks too big

I’m sure you can somewhere. I actually have a 60” monitor from Vizio (I know
) but it has chromecast built in and no port for cable (which I don’t need) and has worked out very well. Plus, it was way cheaper

No downvote from me..
for me, size of the TV boils down to size of room and the distance between viewers and said tv... I think the optimal viewing distance for a 65" TV is 8 or 9 feet..
