Pros

  • 85's or maybe a 77 inch OLED I'd be looking at * LG QNED91A/QNED92A * Sony Bravia 5 * LG B5 (77)
  • 85 Inch * Sony Bravia 5
  • QM5K is not good for this use but a Sony Bravia 5 will cost 2x
  • only TV I know that can be set specifically to a Certain HDMI Port is the Sony Bravia 5, 7, 7II, 8, 8II, 9, & 9II through a specialty menu
  • Bravia 5 is best for your use case

Cons

  • The C6K is noticeably worse on paper and so are things like 99% of Samsung and LG LCDs, or the Sony Bravia 5, some of which are actually noticeably more expensive.
  • I just bought a used Sony Bravia 5, and I saw someone mention that I no longer need to use Roku, but I have always heard that the OS that TVs use is poorly optimized and stuff.
  • The Bravia 5 isn’t worse per se, the contrast and black levels are significantly better since it’s a MiniLED. It’s just the overall peak brightness is surprisingly worse than compared to the X90L which is what everyone lost their minds o...
  • Keep in mind, nothing below the Bravia 5 is worth looking at.
  • Sony doesn’t offer any 98 inch models besides the low-end Bravia 5.

To me, definitely bravia 5 was better looking, but for brighter content, the difference was not that much for a normal user.

If you're going to get a Bravia 5 the 98" is the one to get. It's significantly better than the lower size Bravia 5's. It's not quite as good as the Bravia 7 but it's much closer.

The Sony Bravia 5 made my shortlist along with the QM7K. In head to head reviews the QM7K seemed to hold up well against it.
