We ended up buying a 70" Sony.

My goodness, Victor. 70"? Now that is home theater. Is the wife down with this too? Mine would whack me over the head if I brought home one that big. She's only recently stopped giving me the stink-eye over the 60" I dragged home last December. Enjoy.
She kept saying 60 would be too big for the room. I said - nonsense! She finally agreed.
I then proceeded to 65". She resisted a bit, but I showed her the charts, saying for our viewing distance even 65" was barely adequate.
So today we went to the store to buy that 65" model. By a pure happenstance the cash register in the main hall did not work, so we went to the home theater area, and there, very near the register, was that 70" model, playing loop demos.
At first I just pointed at it for her, without any plan... but very soon it became clear the hook was set. A few more casual passes and she told me she wanted THAT! :)
But seriously... we watch from 11', so 70" looks very natural from that distance.
It is incredible - when you walk between all those 80" and 85" TV's - they don't look all that big anymore.
What I discovered is although the TV may seem big at first, you quickly adjust to it. Get as big as you can afford!
... - that they did not buy a bigger one.
I will have to substantially re-arrange the pictures on the wall to fit this large box, but I have no doubt we will like it.
Hey, stop talking about me ... I went from a 27" CRT to a 50" flat screen and I'll bet the thing hadn't even warmed up yet before I was jonesing for an even bigger one. Then bought a 60" this past December and guess what? That's right. I would love to have a 70", but I'm going to sit on my hands and wait-out all this tech stuff around OLED and 4k before I make another move. I'm sure you and the wife will love it and hope you get many many hours of enjoyment from it.
...Bigger is Better. :-)
Unless that argument comes with a $10K check.
For now I am investigating that player gizmo. With the points from the TV purchase I can cover most of its cost.
They say it comes with 5 movies, but they will not tell you which ones! :-)
Spiderman... here I come!!!!!!
