I'm a professional photographer looking to make the right choice in a display panel for photography and powerpoint presentations in my studio. Here are the particulars for you experts to help me choose the right HDTV:
I have a 52" Sharp Aquos in my home that I've been fairly pleased with for the price, but am not sure what other factors should be taken into account when looking at 70"+ options for viewing this kind of static content. Of course, it would be nice to be able to watch a movie here or there and not have it suck, but video performance is not the key driver for this purchase.
FWIW, I took sample images in HD and UHD resolutions up to HH Gregg and viewed them on 70" panels side by side. At the distances I'll be viewing, there's no good argument for 4K/UHD give the cost delta, even if other IQ factors are in play.
Thanks, and let me know if you need to know anything else to weigh in!

- Ambient light is present, but can be moderated in a pinch (leaning toward matte panel)
- Viewers will be seated 15'–20' away
- Content will be a mix of graphics and photographs, with lots of white/light tones like you see on my website
