    Having hard time deciding on an 85" TV can anyone recommend their TV?

    I am looking at Sony 91J and Samsung QN90A for 85" and maybe going down to LG CN1 77" OLED. Hopefully someone has one of these and can recommend one or another brand they have. My room has a few windows so it does get a glare at times. My watching is split with sports and movies. Thanks
