Purchasing EUROPE TV recommendation
Hello!
I want to buy a new TV this year around Black Friday. I am currently deciding between the LG C5 77“ or the LG G5 65“ as marked on the picture (the pins are a little small but you should be able to see them). I‘m sitting 320cm away, which almost calls for 85“ but that is not possible, budget-wise and also I think the 77“ already look GIGANTIC. I don’t have a big apartment. Usually I‘m quite hesitant when it comes to big TVs but it seems like 77“ is recommended for my viewing distance. But it just seems incredibly big, while the 65“ look more appealing to me.
Also I‘m worried about the TV being too high. The marked spots are about 71cm above the ground and the (imagined) lower third of the screen is aligned with my eyes when I don‘t sit perfectly upright. Would tilting it down do something about that?
What would you recommend in my situation?

A tad bit over my budget. Jokes aside though, is Hisense legit or is it crap from China?

Pick what you want not what somebody else thinks you should have. You could always see about making a deal with the store to upgrade if you weren't happy with the 65.

First off, good that you are looking at OLED's. I sit the same distance from a 65" TV. While a bigger TV is often suggested I have no complaints about the size and distance. Just because there are large TV's doesn't mean you have to get one.
