Should I get larger TV? « on: September 07, 2026, 01:37:13 PM » Author: suzukir122
I've been thinking... although the TV in my loft looks great, and although the TV is 75 inches, which is definitely not a small TV, for some reason this TV feels kinda small in this loft, both in pictures, and in person. The stand that this TV is on is at the highest level -- I cannot lift this TV any higher than where it's at on this stand. What do you guys think? Should I get a larger TV? Or do you guys think this looks good as is? This floor stand can hold a TV up to 88 inches, and I'm thinking about buying an 85 inch TV.

Depends a bit on how large the loft is in-person. If you have the budget for it, then sure! Although (if) before you do buy a larger TV, I would look into remounting the stand to hold the current one a little higher, maybe placing some sort of pedestal to raise it.

The loft is large in person, so it makes this TV appear a bit too small, or maybe a bit too short. I've also thought about raising the height of the stand with something propping it up from the bottom, but not sure what I could use. The TV is unfortunately mounted at the highest level... it cannot go any higher than this. As of now I certainly have the budget for a larger TV, although I'd still sell this TV if I ended up purchasing a larger one.

75" is already pretty huge.  That said, if you decided to go bigger, I'd wait until January for a few reasons.  Quite often, they start rolling out the new models after the new year and ahead of a Super Bowl, so they will be discounting outgoing models.  Stores may still have a large inventory of those outgoing models after the holidays that they are eager to get rid of.

@icefoglights, I probably will end up waiting until January anyways, even with my budget being far more than enough for a larger TV. At my new job, I'm expected to get a very significant amount of income, due to Christmas, and the New Years. That would be an even better time for me to start looking in stores, especially with those discounts. This TV does still fit, and this still looks really nice, but the gap between the TV and those F30T12 fixtures... maybe that's what's bothering me. That gap will definitely be less noticeable with an 85 inch TV, as I've confirmed through comparisons between an 85" and the 75" in stores. I say this lightly, because the gap probably isn't that noticeable to anyone unless I point it out.

@joseph_125, I totally forgot about Black Friday. I might find myself giving in and purchasing a TV on Black Friday instead, just because I'm impatient. But... this set up still does look nice, even with the gap above it, so, maybe it's just me who notices this. I may end up sticking with this TV.
