This is what I used to decide between 55 and 66 inches
#1 - budget of course. If your budget doesn't allow 65 inches then it's no use to consider
#2 - your seating distance from the TV. I estimated the distance between my sofa to the TV and then went to the showroom and stood/sat that distance away to see which size is more comfortable for me.
As for the SST or free soundbar, when I went to Desa, they said as long as I've paid for the TV but haven't collected/delivered it, then I am eligible to claim for any promos that pop up; i.e. If I paid for the TV in full in August but plan to have it delivered end-September, and a free soundbar promo pops up up early-September, then I am eligible to request for that soundbar.
#1 budget wise is allow to consider that's why dilemma

#2 currently I only measure based on TV measurement on specification sheet and TV Size to Distance Calculator using Rtings.com, didn't really go test on the real distance like you said.
#3 SST price increase is still unknown, but pretty sure there's increase of price.
#4 I checked with Harvey Norman, they said this is not possible, as LG will check on the Tax Invoice and see whether you purchase the TV within the Free Soundbar period. if you're purchase before or after the free soundbar promotion, theoretically you're not entitled. but don't know how true when compare to Desa explanation.
