Head on over to Costco and pick out something in the 80+ inch range. I have two Samsungs (82 and an 85 or 86.. don't recall) and both are amazing. I say Costco because you get an extra year of warranty included... plus they have great prices. But TV's are subjective, what I like might not be what you like.

FACT! I loved Atari's Adventure... played it for hours. A few years ago I got one of those retro Atari machines with Adventure included... damn... it sucked. The graphics were amazing though, your character was a large pixel... one large pixel. lol

So the online reviews say you can't really see a difference between 4k & 8k, but I definitely could tell a difference at the store. Almost talked my wife into getting one because she liked the 8k picture better.

We ended up getting the 85" Samsung Frame through a seller on Walmart. It was the cheapest price we could find and the delivery service brought it upstairs as well. But I would get another TV if you're going to do a lot of gaming on it. The frame is meant more for artwork than gaming.

I ended up going with this 75" Samsung. I currently do not have the space for anything bigger. Also got a Samsung surround sound system.

Ok.. say you can only have one console and you want to play Diablo 4... which one are you buying? Curious.. I doubt I will buy anything. I have a XBox One (I think it's a One... white thing that does 4K Blurays) that I never play... its sitting in the garage above the receiver that I rarely turn on. But I did really like Diablo 1-3.

Never played any of the Diablo series, but speaking has an owner of an x-box series X and a PS5....I'd stick with PS5. I wished I'd never bought the X. The game play/graphics are way better on the PS5.

I’d go with PS5 for sure. But honestly, D4 isn’t worth buying a new console for. The game was dead 3-4 months after release.

Yeah I know its not as good as the others.. just an excuse to get a new console.

How are the new PS5 controllers? I could never stand the goofiness and terrible ergonomics of the old PS controllers.

I love the PS layout, it feels better in the hand then x-turd layout does. So if that arthritis inducing set up is your jam you are not going to like PS5 controller. That said, the latest controller is a step up from PS4 for sure. Way better feel/control then the older versions and it's better then the X too (shitty button layout aside).
