Viewing distance will be about 12 ft.
Would 75 inch be better then?
I should add, this will be wall mounted , above a mantle.
75 would be ok..
85 is considered ok for 12ft on the large end.
Our TV Sizes to Distance Calculator helps you choose the right size TV for your space. The optimal viewing distance is about 1.6 times the diagonal length of the television. For example, for a 55” TV, the best distance is 7 feet.

You might like a higher end tv that has more than 60hz refresh rate.. and good hdr brightness vs a slightly bigger tv.
for example the hisense u8k in 75" is in your price range.
The Hisense U8/U8K is a mid-range 4k TV released in 2023. It sits between the high-end, limited-release Hisense UX and the Hisense U7K in Hisense's flagship 2023...

I've had to reset mine(U8H model) once in 5 months that is the "abit buggy" part of the review.
If I was using a fire stick or something besides the built in google apps that is Not applicable.
To give an example I've used before.. watching the Mandalorian
The sun beams shining in doors, blaster fire etc is extremely bight and amazing. no blur etc.
OLED is the most amazing.. but 77" runs about $2000 or more.
OLED is not backlit/zone dimming etc... each individual pixel is a light..
Edit: more info.
Mini-LED backlit is next best and the color and brightness can be astounding.. but contrast and viewing angles wont approach OLED.
but like tires each model is different so shop by model.. not by brand if that makes sense.
TCL also has some great TV's at budget prices.
SONY is great on the higher end.. but their mid and lower tier TV you just pay for a name.
Basics: A normal LCD screen you are shining a light through the panel (to get color) and viewing it.
there are different types IPS/VA/TN etc.
Backlights different types.. Edge lit, Full array lit, some have dimming zones to improve contrast (from 32 to hundreds of zones) then mini led which is the pinnacle so far
OLED the pixel IS the light.. you arent shining a light through a LCD (LED TVs are LED backlit LCD)
OLED each and every pixel is the light and that is 8+ million of them on a 4k screen.
