A step to the side- Smart TV question

So I have an audio room. In that room I mounted A 55 inch smart TV for general Youtube viewing, rarely a movie and it is connected to my two channel music system. No gaming at all. I use the TV, usually as a side entertainment. Windows everywhere but with blinds. I’d like to replace this TV since it’s getting old in the tooth. Going up to 65 inch and wondering if any audiophiles have a Smart TV and what you like. In my living room I have an LG OLED that I like much more than the Samsung.I am leaning that direction but would like to know from the audio crowd. What do you have or what would you get?

Another vote for Sony.  There were some ARC issues early on, but I think they have them all figured out.  I don't use ARC.

With today's prices and technology you can't go too far wrong.

Heck, I paid like $3000 in 1985 dollars for a 60" ProScan rear-projection TV.  Over $7000 in today's dollars.

The point made is that Android casts directly to most any smart TVs. iOS does not.

@fuzztone Not sure what that means 'casts', but if you have a smart TV you should be able to access Apple TV or any other streaming service, youtube, etc., directly via the TV. No need for iOS or any other external device or OS. But if I want to I can wirelessly view whatever is on one of my Macs or iPad or iPhone on my Sony TV.
