That wall behind him induces a lot of anxiety.

Pretty common way of displaying received Christmas cards back then.

Ahh. I couldn't tell exactly what that was.

Trying to snag a TCL 115” but it’s difficult….$18k. Will go 98 instead. I believe they had a 300” at CES. Around $110k.

The OP posed an interesting question.
We have had a 100" in the great room for 2 years. Despite the wall being 32' x 18' we can't go any bigger without running into windows.
It is plausible that houses will be designed with larger TVs in mind in the main living room but unless that happens 110" is probably going to be the largest mainstream with the high volume being in the 75-85 inch range.
There is also a limit for viewing distance. In the HT we have a 132" wide 16:9 screen (151" diagonal), and your eyes in the first row of seats are right at 11' any closer and it is like a tennis match watching something. The first visit people, particularly guys, gravitate to the first row after a few minutes most move back a row. It is like being a middle row in the theater person and getting stuck sitting in the front row. There is something almost painful about it. You do get used to it but there is a limit.
I have a native 4K projector in the HT but would love to have an emissive display instead. Even with a purpose-built "bat cave" a projector just can't match an emissive display.

The thing that gets me about the 90-something-inch panels is how light they are.
Those 42" plasmas with metal cases were like 75 pounds (concentrated in a smaller footprint).
And the rear-projection beasts weighed up into the hundreds:

I draw that line at what I can fit into my SUV. That turns out to be 60 inches.
If it won't fit into a Grand Cherokee, it's too fricking big.

You need at least 100 to see the butt pimples on your porno
(allegedly)
FWIW : In the "science fiction" of Fahrenheit 451, TV's were wall size.

My next house I'm planning to link three 110" TV's vertical making the entire wall a TV screen.

When my mom separated from my dad in 1970 we had a 13' black and white TV.

I'm holding out for the 3D Holographic televisions.

My 65 looks small when compared to what's on the wall at Walmart now. It seemed behemoth when we bought it.
It was. It took me a while to take in the whole screen when we first jumped up.
Of course it took about a day to adjust to it cuz it was TV, man.

Size matters I guess. :)
TVs are getting bigger each year or so.

Saw a few 100" TVs on display at Sam's. Considering replacing the 75 I have with one of those.

Not big enough. I can still see part of my wall in my living room.

It seems like it didn't take long for 4K TVs to come down in price. Now I'm just waiting for price drops on OLEDs
Posted on 7/13/26 at 4:38 pm to High C
I love my 65 inch OLED TV.... esoecially since it's set to bluey 90% of the time

In college we had a friend that lived in a pretty small rental home (700 sq feet..total). Right before football season another friend moved in with him and they decided they needed a big screen TV. What started out as an excursion for a "reasonable" big screen quickly turned into the mantra of "go big or go home". They bought the biggest GD tv in the store without any regard whatsoever of the size of the living room where it would be placed...which was tiny . similar to this one.
What resulted was this giant TV that took up over 40% of the room. It was so big that you had to turn sideways just to get into the living room when entering from the kitchen. It was like sitting on the front row at a movie
