What lift are you looking at? I thought you were ceiling limited at less than 9ft?

I have kinda poor eyesight and will sitting about 24” away from the screen.

The TV will be for watching everything from sports to soft porn to home improvement shows... and maybe even some reruns of Gilligan's Island or that old gal named Orca Winfrey

All variety’s of lighting conditions from daylight in a very bright home to total darkness while sitting partially naked on a little metal folding chair...

Sorry to be so honest, but it’s who I am..

I’ve been nothing but happy with my Sony’s and that’s what I’d recommend. For varying lighting conditions I’d go LED. For a 4k TV go at least one size bigger than you would for a 1080HD TV. If you think you need 55”, buy 65”. Sony has a huge price range so it really comes down to what you want and are willing to spend.

Yeah I had a Trinitron in college. Hell of a TV.

However, I found an easy workaround is to turn it on, then hold down the power button until it turns off and then back on to a splash screen. Voila the wireless works again without me having to re-enter all the login/pass info

Are you looking for quality or value? Sports or movies or something specific? Do you care about any specific features/apps on your TV? A fire stick or chrome cast or roku or something can possibly supplement TV apps. Need to know your needs...

I was going to say mine do this all the time and I just started yanking the plug out of the wall and plugging it back in and it sinks back up. I'm going to try it your way as it seems easier.

Had to use the restroom. While doing my business. I heard something like people falling over. Get done and walk out of the stall. I see 7 customers laying on the floor, turning green.

I walk out of the restroom and hear people asking each other about the smell. I know it's wasn't me. Because my chit don't stink.
