OLED this year will be hitting 1500 peak brightness.
You’ve probably got another 5 years for Micro LED to be affordable and actually 4K in the smaller sizes.
Is it now worth moving from plasma to something LED?

No room without replacing furniture. The 55" is going to be a tight fit as it is.
42" to 55" should feel like a big upgrade for now. Maybe I'll go bigger at some point in the future, once things have moved forward substantially.

OLED vs Plasma TV Comparison (Incl. Motion, Brightness, HDR vs SDR)
We do an OLED vs plasma TV comparison using a Panasonic HZ2000 OLED & a ZT65 plasma. Thanks to Surfshark VPN for sponsoring this video... go to https://surfs...youtu.be
HDTV Test looked at this a couple of years ago now. The TLDW is that OLED is better, on balance, than Plasma. There's maybe still an argument in favour of Plasma for fringe use cases (e.g. mainly watching SD content), but the moment you start looking at 4K HDR content, Plasma is left for dust.
I'm making the move from a Panasonic PZ81 (from 2008!) to an LG C1. Delivery due on Saturday. At £799 for a 55" set, I couldn't resist. Same situation - there's nothing wrong with my current TV, but I had the upgrade itch. I can't wait to try out some 4K HDR content.
If I have little HD content (I mean paying for Netflix HD is the best I'm going to get) is an upgrade much less worth it?
Remember this is 1k+ (probably +) of an outlay.

Still with my Panny 42st30 plasma from 7-9 years ago. There will also come a tome where I'll have to make the same move but I'm very fond of it still.

Similar story here with a 2010 Panasonic V20 50” plasma. Lovely picture, but a new OLED will wipe the floor with it. The thin bezels on modern sets will allow a larger screen too. Will likely wait another year as holidays have taken up any possible telly budget!

Similar situation here.
Currently still have our Panasonic V10 42 inch plasma going strong, but since moving house I know have the opportunity to retire this to the family room and get a nice shiny OLED for the living room
Thinking a 65inch although 77 would probably be ok in the room as well, but the budget starts going up then…

Bigger always better with a TV - go big or go home!

Nope, DVD SD looks great on the 65" Depends on the disc, compression ratio they used etc.

My 55" OLED is about the same physical size as my old 50" Plasma from 2015 and that was about the same as the 42" Plasma from like 2005.
Bear that in mind, you can get a larger screen without having a larger TV is your TV is old.

You won't get an accurate idea of the picture quality viewing in store for two reasons. The first, as you say, the environment is nothing like it would be in your home.
The second reason is that the tv itself will be set to "Store" mode. The contrast will be far too high and the colours will be oversaturated. This is to make the tv stand out from all the other oversaturated tv's.

Even with my whole system on, 65" oled, AV pre amps, 4000W power amplifiers, 2000W subwoofers, Kodi etc, and home router total usage is 350-600W

I've been happy with my qled. No soap opera effect once configured properly. No worrying about burn-in. Someone will say burn-in isn't an issue, but worrying about it is.
If buying again I would look for a glass-fronted tv so it can be easily cleaned. This one would get wrecked if wiped with a damp cloth. If you sneeze on it it's a problem.

Having both a sony 65" Oled & sony 65" QD-Oled in the house the colours on the QD-Oled are far better
Which is making me very much looking at upgrading the 65" OLED to an QD-Oled as i hate looking at the duller colours on my OLED now compared to my QD-Oled
Am waiting to see what new QD-Oled improvements come out this year
