Need to pull the trigger today since the TV we are using is moving this weekend.
I am about to go nuts with research and trying to figure out what to get.
Am I crazy to get a 4K now when my closest viewing distance will be approx 10-12' and my primary viewing will be at approx 14'? (Leaning towards a 65" 4K, bigger if not 4K and looking to spend less than 3000 no matter my decision).
I am ok with having to get a new TV in 3-5 years if need be to keep up with technology (like when the OLEDs are reasonably priced)

For what it is worth, we ended up with the Sony XBR65X850B for $2300. We had a F8500 that did its time and the last tv we were watching before setting up the Sony was a 60" Kuro (my dad's that he took when they moved out of state).
We are very happy so far with the sony and not regretting our puchase. Now maybe a side by side comparison to the plasmas we were watching would prove different, but we feel the PQ is as good as or better than the plasmas we had.(and really that is all that matters, what we feel..)
I am no expert and have yet to do any in depth calibrations. We were nervous we would not be happy with an led after plasmas, but our nerves have settled. My assumption is that screen quality and technology of this new tv have made it meet our desires. We feel that once 4k starts popping up we are going to be even happier.
I also assume that once I spend more time with settings and calibration, things hopefully will get even better.
Also pretty sure we are saving a pile of money now on electric going from the plasmas.
Again, I appreciate the advice and tips from all on this post and am thankful for a forum like this to help take some of the frustration out of home theater for novice users like myself.
