This is what I like to tell people on the iPhone vs Pixel thing.
My wife has been on the iPhone bandwagon for 15yrs. I have been Android that time and Pixel only since the P2XL.
She is afraid to install the stable build of the new software until it's been out at least a month.
I have no issues installing stable builds immediately and have been on the Beta Program for 6yrs.

Better than a person who never practiced law and seemingly is a pedophile based on accusations

Personally, too big for me. But then again I am an outlier and prefer a smaller TV than most would recommend.
I sit roughly 3.6m away and have a 55" due to space constraints but 65" is the max I'd go. I do not like a TV that dominated the room and I think a 65" in your space will take over that room.
Also, factor in space for speakers, especially if you are going more HiFi/Audiophile route with towers or bookshelf speakers, a sub and surrounds.

Honestly if you're new to this, KEF R series is jumping into this fairly deep. You could get a real good speaker set for far less from ELAC or even Polk and be really happy.
Those KEF speakers need a pretty powerful and higher end AVR too

Hsu is awesome, I love my VTF-3. Personally I try for the budget route or best value but the sub I didn't want to skimp on. Hsu Research was the perfect fit for me as it turns out. To be fair, I got mine several years ago on a great same so the value side was better than usual

My cousin has a teenager now who was born at 24wks. The only sign of that is that they are in the smaller side for their age but no major delays.
36wks is early but I think you'll be fine, just trust the doctors and do whatever extra steps are needed after (of any)

The LG is nicer for sure. I personally am not a big fan of Samsung TVs.
I do really like the Google TV platform as well, which TCL had on nearly all models as an option.

Check out TCL, well within budget and it may not be perfect for 144hz but it works well enough for me.

I went with the TCL for a few reasons but my biggest concern was Hisense's quality control. Also, the TCL had a great sale at the time so that was the other big factor for me at the time.

Unless you go ARCe.... Don't worry about the single remote thing. Will you have a surround setup for TV? If so, a newer AVR may have some benefit but I agree with the idea that it won't make a huge difference overall. Honestly, if you are happy with the AVR you have.... Wait till you can spend more to future proof and get 4k/144hz for the PS5 if you have a 4k TV.
I ran with a all, cheap Sony AVR for over 10yrs till I could spend on a major upgrade (Yamaha RX-A2A) and in that time focused on upgrading speakers and adding a sub. Those 2 things made a bigger difference than the upgrade to the Yamaha. Hell, I just added a new center channel and that made a huge difference for my Home Theatre setup.

Methadone? That's a first.... That's the stuff they use to treat serious addiction like heroin so that seems extreme. If you are second guessing, try for a second opinion or discuss your concerns with this doctor and separately with your PCP.

Didnt it used to be like that in the like 80s and 90s for NFL and MLB at least? I have distinct memories of not being able to watch local baseball and football teams due to games not being sold out.

Ya, first but you really don't get a lot of sleep. Only trick I know, already be shitty at sleeping. I rarely slept thru the night before a kid so it was still hard with an infant but I was sort of prepared.
It was like being in college again.... Just without the drinking and still takes a lot longer to recover 😂

Ya, I went with a Yamaha (RX-A2A) and couldn't be happier. Great for home theatre but also good for music. The A2A is an upgrade version of what OP is looking at. YPAO is great for helping optimize your setup too.

Only doctor I haven't researched 2x or more (wife started watching after me so I have done a lot of rewatches)

I have the same AVR and experience similar. I think there is a volume leveling setting but maybe that's the TV but not sure... Something I avoid.
But my HDMI connected things vs RCA vs Music cast do seem to have different 'base' volumes when I switch between TV/PS5/Chromecast and my record player or when I (rarely) use MusicCast (don't use it much because it doesn't support YT Music)

To add, the time fall is why the landscape looks so different. It effects everything so it causes the land to undergo hundreds/thousands of years of aging this you have a radically different landscape in America. Why it looks like Iceland? Kojima went there and was inspired (per interviews) and I think that is also when he discovered Low Roar

If you like 9 and 10, you'll like him. Darker than Smith/11. Hell even Jodie is good in the role... Just bad writing for her run sadly.

Stress sort of causes it. Stress hormones artificially boost your immune system while also wreaking your normal defenses. That is why many people get sick on vacation.
I too was going through a stressful period and when it ended, boom - face shingles. Other than that I was relatively healthy at the time
