    So after 8 years with our Samsung 55" I wanted to upgrade to 4k. I got a 65" Sony. The picture is amazing but I'm having trouble adjusting to the size. Our house is a little difficult to describe but essentially we don't have one large living room on the main level, it's 2 smaller rooms. I think the living room is something like 13' x 12'. My chair is about 6' from the TV and the couch ranges from 8' to 10' depending on where you are sitting on the couch. The other chair is 8' from the screen. Both chairs are at slight angles from the TV but that doesn't seem to pose a problem since the tv has outstanding viewing angles. I get a lot of eye fatigue so far, wondering if it's just to big for me or the room? Anyone want to share their tv size and viewing distances that would be great. I have until Monday to exchange it at best buy and go back to a 55" tv.

    So I didn't get an Oled but I got sonys best non Oled and the picture is amazing. I couldn't even see the difference in best buy between this tv and the Oled one right next to it. I will try disabling the 120hz and see if that helps.

    Quoted from Blknblumark:

    I had a new top-of-the-range Sony a few years back as an upgrade to a low-tier LG and it was giving me heavy eye strain. I found out it was set too bright, as if it were in a store display by default. Couple of tweaks later and it was great for years. My wife just upgraded hers to a Sony OLED, and thats even easier on my eyes, especially in a dim/dark room.

    I did just turn down the brightness a bit last night. Tv still feels too big for the room. I also adjusted what I think was for that soap opera effect.

    Quoted from FamDocKevin:

    There's only one research question you really need to ask: Does your spouse/partner like it?

    Yes the family seems to like it. I'm the only one affected so far. I get eye soreness and a bit of a headache.
