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)

    Here, it’s not demand vs. suply. It’s demand only, that drives prices.

    Wait, isn’t that a sign for collusion?

    There’s not much point in optimizing completely for price per inch, but when I bought my TV in 2013 I plotted this, and discovered a pretty sharp hockey stick in the graph at 70" and above. So I got a 65" TV. If my graph had looked pretty straight like yours I’d probably just get the biggest that is practical for the space.

      My SO wants a bigger screen, and I was thinking of a 65", but maybe I’ll consider a 75" instead since it seems like a sweet spot for value.

      I’ve also debated getting a projector. It’s in a basement, so I can get a blackout curtain for daytime use.

        Most people do.

        Mine’s just old enough to not have ads but new enough to have apps for plex and other services I use. Next one is going to be disconnected and have some flashable Android box connected to it. Or even just Apple TV as that’s still better than most native UIs.

        LG and Samsung have been caught uploading screenshots of your HDMI inputs too, so it’s not like it’s any better

      And the type of HDR they support. I got lucky finding a philips a couple years ago that just supports all types so I don’t have to worry about it.
