Kinda makes me wonder just how big TVs are going to get

[Foxbat]

A bigger TV would not fit there, or you would hit your head on the TV going in the door.

Oh, I dunno, maybe you could find a solution for mounting it higher and tilted down?

You could probably get away with any of the 43" TVs. Bezels are much smaller these days. I would check the outer dimensions of your existing TV and see if you can get a match or better with a 43".

I always found it amusing watching morons trying to fit big screens in small cars

This is why more and more retailers are bundling delivery and assembly into the price. It is amazing what you cannot fit in a two-ton vehicle these days.

The local Walmart has a rather big selection with sizes starting at 32 in.

32 in!! I can still remember when I bought a 32 in tube type TV...I really thought I was in high cotton.

4:3 gives you a much larger viewing area than 16:9

A little over 12% more area. Then again, if you're forced to watch everything in letterbox, you've gone backwards by 9%.

can you wrap your brain paying 40k for that back in the day

I ended up buying

Roku TV / Pioneer.

42" or 43", depending on where you read. UHD. Available at Best Buy and elsewhere.

I did buy a better remote, one with voice command.

I wonder Who actually made that ...
Pioneer has been Out of Business in the TV market for some time now, as far as I know.

What did it weigh? I had a 32 it was ridiculously heavy and it didnt have any handles and the edges were all rounded off!

Modern Pioneer-branded TVs are manufactured by Compal (Taiwan) using TCL panels.

Plasma ultimately killed Pioneer's TV division.

I haven't bought any AV component in a B&M store in over 20 years. I think the last thing was my 42" Grand Wega Rear Projection HDTV from Circuit City. At the end of last year when I got my 65" Bravia 8 II, I ordered online directly from Sony and had it delivered. I don't know if it could have fit in the back of my Expedition. The delivery guy parked his semi on the side of the road, got out, rolled up the back door, lowered the lift gate and came out with my TV on a dolly and wheeled it up the driveway. Easy peasy for me.

I personally would rather have better quality over larger size. I've seen people with 80"+ TVs that look like garbage and were like $1200. I know I'm paying the Sony tax, but I would rather pay $3000 for a higher end 55-65" Sony then $1500 for a 98" from someone else.

Having fun with A.I. translation tools. Siri had this to say about the upper-right Japanese label:

IG TAI FRAME

Digital frame memory TV

KX-45ED1 $2,700,000F

KX-45ED1T: 2,800,000 yen

(Remote control AN- 572, RM 554 included)

KX-45ED1 and KX-45ED1T are order-made/. It will take a little time after receiving this order, so please prepare it.

●The stubborn quality and installation fee that I love with the purple of the hair is a separate treatment.

Anything more than a 55" would be overkill in my viewing space.

I ordered my last two TV's (55" & 75") from Sam's Club five years ago which were delivered free. Both of these were the latest Sony model they had. In the past I usually get either Samsung or Sony TV's. I got Sony this time being the Sony models at Sam's were newer than the Samsung's. Back then my wife and I were able to wall mount them ourselves. Now we would have to pay someone to do this. My wife has been hinting about an 85", but I don't see paying that much for just a few more inches.

But your wife is willing to pay more for a few more inches.
