What Size TV for 18'x18' Room?

Trying to figure out how large I can go. Room is about 18'x18'. Closest seat would be about 6' away and farthest about 13' away. It will be sitting on a 6' wide piece of furniture.
I'm thinking I could go 70", but there's not a lot of options in 70". Most go from 65" to 75". 65" seems like the safer play, but I have an old 52" and was hoping to go a good bit bigger. However, 75" seems like it would stand out too much in a room that's not that big.
What's you guys thoughts? Could I go 75" or should I go 65" or 70" at most?

How tall is the ceiling?

I had a projector that was 130" in a 18ft wide room in my last house, I think you are fine with the 75". I don't know how wide our front room is, but it isn't 18ft and has a 75" tv in it.

My living room is 20x20 and we have a 65” I wanted a 75 but wife wouldn’t let me.
65 is fine but not blowing you away. I can see it fine from the kitchen 35’ away.

Distance to size calculator If you want to be able to resolve the full resolution of 4k at a distance of 13' you need a 92" screen. Otherwise, you're eyes will see a resolution slightly less. From that distance of 13', with a 65" set, your eyes will basically 'see' nice HD, not 4k.

As many have said, it’s rare to wish you went smaller
Find some scrap cardboard and cut the rough dimensions out. You probably won’t regret 75-77” if the room is focused around it

As big as you can squeeze in there.

Wanted an 85” but I had to settle for a 77” last year because I wanted a high-end OLED. We sit 12 feet away in an 18-21’ den.
Get an 83-85”. Five years from now you will want a 90”.

100% this.
I walked into Best Buy last year intending to purchase an 85” led, but walked out with a 77” oled instead because i got an insane deal on an open box unit.
while watching movies that are letterboxed, I often regret not purchasing a larger (albeit lower quality) tv.
