This is mostly useless, except to justify buying a bigger TV. However, I did learn:
- For most popular high end models, the 65 inch models are cheapest / sq inch (e.g Sony A95L, Samsung S90D, LG G4). For most others, it’s the 75 inch models.
- TCL S551F 55" scores the lowest ($0.17/sq inch)
- The lowest scoring OLED is the Samsung S85D ($0.55/sq inch)
- For 100 inches, Hisense QD7 is the cheapest ($0.37/sq inch). For 85 inches, it’s the TCL S551F ($0.22/sq inch)

At least in the case of the Hisense TV I got for my grandparents, a “glitch” with accessibility controls (makes directional inputs unresponsive or multi-press at times) just so happens to make remapping the sponsored remote buttons impossible, as well as breaking the most common method of changing the system launcher, so screen size alone isn’t everything.
Although Hisense still tries to reinstall sponsored apps after I delete them, using Launcher Manager to set a custom launcher that allows for the hiding of unwanted applications and channels made it much more usable for my grandparents.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to redirect YouTube voice input commands to SmartTube Next, so if I ever replace it, that’ll be a factor in my decision too.
