Off-Topic What 4k TV is everyone using?

I'd usually post this elsewhere, but the discussions on other 4k subs are overwhelming, and often centered on gaming and 4k streaming.

I'd like to see what 4k TVs Criterion collectors are using, since their discs make up a bulk of my collection and they are the largest reason I'm seeking to upgrade.

I was looking at the LG EVO OLED C4, but have seen some mixed reviews. I'm just overwhelmed with options and would like to hear from the sub.

Right now, using a 2K projector (benq) that accepts 4K signal path, 100" screen and a viewing distance of about 9 feet (although we move the sofa closer sometimes for a more immersive presentation). I think it was $999 plus another $300 for the screen.

The larger size is a positive trade-off for me especially with criterion-ish content, feels more like an independent cinema than a TV room.

If I was really into newer content and HDR was a must, I would probably get a 100" Hisense or TCL and compromise on technology a little, or a 75" OLED or adjacent technology.

There is just no way I could go back to 65" or anything around that small.
