Hello all. My wife and I are moving into our house in two weeks. We are very excited. It’s a pretty big house with a really large living room. So of course I want the right TV. HOWEVER, I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. What’s most important to me is size and refresh rate. 4K is that much of a big thing to me. I plan to us my second pc/plex server on this TV so smart functions/ WiFi will completely pointless. Any suggestions on where to start? I’d say my budget is at most 100,000 though even then, we just spent a lot of money remodeling and moving. So the misses might not be too happy if I spent all of that.
Edit: 55 and up is what I’d like. Looks like I was unclear. I’m looking to know which features on the TVs are just bloating the price that I won’t utilize. I really don’t care so much about extreme sharpness or color. Mostly frame rate and size

Projector is the way to go for size.
Costco usually has good prices on TVs with frequent sales.
OLED. For the budget, you could get 55″ 55A1PJA in costco
We can’t help unless you tell us the size of the TV first.
LG oled or nothing tbh
Go to a recycle shop and get a used one. Bought mine in 2016, still works perfectly fine.
Too low of a budget to get anything good, really. It sounds like you want more of a monitor than smart TV, unfortunately for the amount you want to spend a crappy Android TV is the best you can do. What is the benefit of higher refresh rate? You want a 55″ 1080p with like 120Hz refresh? Is there anything that will take advantage of that?
I don’t know if refresh rate is the best judge for picture quality. Some TVs have some kind of AI based image interpolation for smoother pictures between a native 60 hz picture and increasing it to 240 hz, but those are all kind of meh to me.
OLEDs offer the best picture if by judging the contrast ratio. Although by design, they do suffer image burn in, at least more so than LCD. LG offers the best price performance for OLEDs and a 55 inch can probably be had at costco foe your price point.
I got a TCL 65inch 4K OLED on Amazon for 10man and had it for about two years now. It’s a Chinese manufacturer and seemed to be the best reviewed of the cheaper brands. There’s a bunch of reviews on Amazon itself so you can check them out. I did have a few minor issues in the two years (some Apps lagging a bit) which are probably less common with big brand TVs, but considering the price I paid (10man when the same-spec competitors were 15-20), I’m really happy.
Can you wait until Amazon prime day? Got the Lg oled 55” for about 10万
