    You ever sit right in front of a huge TV? You can’t see everything at once. You have to move your head. There’s a good reason to get a TV size specific to your viewing distance

      I mean I don’t sit right smack up against the screen… I sit ~7-8’ from a 85" TV and see everything just fine, in fact, plenty of peripheral vision left. I could even go bigger bc I have the wall space. Sure, movie screens are huge but you’re far away so perspectively it’s similar to a TV. However, the IMAX or Dolby Cinemas at AMC, or those UltraScreens theaters are popular for a reason… To saturate your field of vision and captivate you, making you fell engrossed and a part of the action.

      Sure, maybe you don’t want a 115" TCL in your bedroom, but for the main entertaining space, I want big and encompassing to match a theater-but with more comfort and cheaper concessions lol. My 7.2.4 channel UHD “theater” downstairs won’t be complete for some time, so my 120" projector screen goes unused. A big TV is a good alternative.
