Raggie, get yourself a comfortable sleep mask. Then it won't matter what lights are on. I use one and it's great, especially for sleeping in on the weekends.

Here is my television. I can't understand why people want a big screen.
It's been like 2 decades since we've gotten flat screen HDTVs. Honestly, even after a few months there was no way I was going back to a CRT. Between the bulk, and missing half the details, it's just an awful viewing experience.

I'm going to get an OLED as soon as the prices drop some more, although at least they're finally in the normal people price range. 65" is the biggest I'll consider. There just isn't any place in the house where I could sit far enough away to be able to see all of anything larger. Besides that, the larger the TV, the more the power consumption. 65" also seems to be an inflection point. Beyond that, prices start getting higher very fast.

Samsung is coming out with something called MicroLED. However, I can't imagine too many people having a living room where they can fit even the smallest 219" model, never mind the flagship 583" model. A comfortable viewing distance for the latter would be something like 60 to 80 feet, basically at least as long as our driveway. I don't even want to think about the power consumption, but it's safe to say it's kilowatts, lots of kilowatts.

If you are going to get a big TV, get one too big for two people to easily carry. That way, it might get left behind if your house is burglarized. Insurance deductibles suck!

I don't see any point in getting a TV bigger than 40". Having to crane my head to see the corners of the screen are not really my cup of tea.

Then again, I don't watch TV and rarely ever watch a movie and as such can't justify the investment, so I'm biased.

EDIT: Though if you have to watch the screen from afar, the bigger the better, naturally.

This is an absolutely absurd thread and then takes an even more absurd twist with your desire by objectifying women specifically by race. You can stop that now, thank you kindly.
