Delivery for me was the deciding factor from Walmart, I watch football in the bedroom ,leaving the living room TV to the wife . Not wanting to miss any football that following Sunday ,Walmart was the choice , Costco couldn't get it to me in time ,same TV . Football is priority .Yeah 75 is too much TV for me, and the 65" is 40% more screen than the 55"...which seems pretty much to be a worthwhile increase without being overwhelming in the space.
I probably would have bought one last week, but delivery wasn't available before Wednesday...
The wife may have let me watch it in the living room , but I couldn't take that chance since the TV in the bedroom had quit . 
Was happy with a 13" when we got married in 1970 , now thinking of a 75" in the living room when the time comes .
I haven't bought a TV since my 32" crt back in the 90's...so getting a new TV is quite the deal.
Considering it'll be almost entirely football watching, it'll probably outlast me.
And MaAuto. His last year being a tight end.Bigger the better to enjoy watching Mahomes ,and the Chiefs .
I had one of those too about that same time. With rabbit ear antenna. Never lived any where that I could use it. Probably sent it to Goodwill.Was happy with a 13" when we got married in 1970 , now thinking of a 75" in the living room when the time comes .
I'll probably watch them at least once, when they lose at Lumen Field in October.Bigger the better to enjoy watching Mahomes ,and the Chiefs .
Honestly if all you're watching is sports, the TV speakers are probably fine. I'm usually yelling at the TV too loud due to Bama's constant eff-ups the sound is lost on me anyway...
My son tells me he got his TV, for free, on Craigslist. It is better than mine that I paid about $300 for 4 years ago. Only reason I bring this up is new TVs have an average life span of 5 to 10 years. If that's the case why not get them free if you find a suitable one to your liking.I am looking at buying a TV. Haven't bought one since the 90's...
Primarily sports viewing, streaming is the source, no gaming, under a grand.
Your input appreciated.
Thanks
You're so right. Integrating two-channel and multi-channel audio can be kind of complicated and certainly muddies the user experience somewhat (crap, which remote do I use?) You can do it well, but it usually requires a capable AV receiver and maybe a streamer for managing multiple music formats and sources. One has to have patience to do this, and maybe not have other, shall we say non-technical, users that can't deal with figuring stuff out (like which remote, input, etc.)
Yeah, I was running 5.2 with with a dedicated processor running into a preamp, 2 amps, a streamer/server, an SACD player, and a shit ton of cables... Made my wife SO mad every time she tried to watch a movie. Getting rid of the processor and simplifying the TV part of things to a basic Sonos setup may have saved my marriage. Now she can sometimes get the Samsung TV remote to work.
I will watch the chickens twice , being the first game of the year ,and playing the Chiefs in October .I'll probably watch them at least once, when they lose at Lumen Field in October.
The firestick has much faster processors, better picture & sound, more apps, and the apps are updated automatically.
Depends on the TV. If yours is older or slow, a Firestick is definitely a snappier interface. My Sony Bravia is already running Google TV with the same apps and the same auto-updates, so the gap is a lot smaller than it used to be.
Shoot I run a 4k Fire Stick on my one year old Hisense with Google TV. Some of the built in apps on Google TV on the Hisense won't do HDR, Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos audio output (Peacock is one), but do on the Fire Stick. Varies between streaming services but it is annoying as hell.
