All modern tvs have crap sounding speakers due to limited space for good speakers. You bought such a good tv, should also get an AV Receiver with at least a pair of stereo speakers - bookshelf or floorstanding ones. Audio is a big part of an immersive experience which a lot of people miss out on. Sell your soundbar and add a bit more for the AVR and speakers.

I wonder why so many are interested in the tiny 48" model, is it for use as desktop monitor? I feel even 55" is too small to be practical as a TV.

Wow that's a real shame bro. Maybe can consider those brackets with arms that can be moved around to move the tv out of the cabinet space. Or maybe try to modify the cabinets.

Remember to reserve some budget for speaker stands & cables too. The Wharfedale Evo 4.2s are quite awesome speakers for the price but don't put them on shelves or tv cabinet.

I have a used legendary ZD9 65" for sale. Wonder how much I can sell.
Still have 1 year warranty remaining from Sony. Anyone interested?

Planning to get a bigger TV between 75" to 85".

Tell me about it bro. I have a friend who a few years ago kept asking me about "the best tv to buy". He was a fan of Sony Tvs (he had an old trinitron from the late '90s). At that time I suggested him to get the LG Oled which was the best tv available locally. Then when I went to his house for house warming, saw a brand new LG LCD tv (basically the worst tv you can buy at that time). He some more can say that he bought it based on my recommendation.
Bro, I told you to buy LG Oled not LG's IPS tv.
