So I've converted part of our double garage into a man cave for a music and film room. It's 4.0 x 3.5m, with the sitting position about 3.5m from the TV. I've just put my 55" LG Oled B9 on the wall and tbh, it looks quite small! We have a 65" LG Oled in the front room, so I've got used to that size, but since this is going to be a dedicated film room I'm thinking about going the next size up.

I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to TV models, so just looking for some suggestions as I've seen prices range between 1k and 3k. I'd probably like to keep the budget around 2k, but can stretch a bit.

The sound side of things is already taken care of as I've got a Denon x4400h running a 5.1.4 atmos setup, so I don't need a built in soundbar or anything.

I do like Oled, though have had issues with both of ours so far. The 55" had a new screen due to the known manufacturing fault my batch had and the 65" just had a new screen a couple of weeks ago as it just randomly died while watching F1! (Thankfully had 5yr guarantee as it was 23 months old).

So I don't know which way to go, stick with Oled, LG do a 77" version but that seems the upper end of the budget or try one of qled variants, and I see now there's a neo qled. IQ is important to me and the room isn't going to be that bright, as it only has 1 small side window.

I mainly watch Netflix, amazon and stream from my server using VLC on an Nvidia shield.
 
2K for a 77" OLED is going to be a stretch, but as you say you can stretch your budget.

Would see what happens black Friday, but the C1, which is last years model can be had for £2,600 mark or so and still had most the good stuff. But may be with black friday the C2 drops in price a decent amount too. The aforementioned 77LZ2000B or other higher end OLED's G2 will blow your budget and tbh the C1 is still a very good TV.

IMO given your not in a overly bright room OLED would be the way to go. Also sounds like poor luck with your current few you had, but I think on the whole the new OLED stuff is reasonably reliable, no better or worse then others I would have thought (outside screen burn related stuff)
