Buy the biggest you can afford, but distance from your televison does play a factor in determining size.  How far will you be sitting from you future televsion?  

Currently I'm sitting around 10ft away from a 100" projection screen. But I'm planning on changing things up this year. So gonna be sitting around 6-8ft from my gaming screen in my "gaming corner".

So looking at anything from a 50" up to a 65". 

A 50" of the Sammy I linked above and a PS4 pro both come in at just under $1030. But I'm guessing if I wait till around black Friday which also happens to be when the PS4pro is coming anyways I would get a better deal on the TV. At that point I could either spend less or spend the same but go for a bigger size. 

Let me first give you my experience.  I once had my 60" in the "Alcove" where I was sitting 9.5 ft from the screen.  I later moved that 60" to the living room where it look better standing 16 ft from it.  I currently have a 55" in the "Alcove" which is working great.  I'd suspect a 65" tv would be too much from being only 8" away.  Get the best quality 50" you can afford.  You should have more than enough emmersion being around 7 ft away.
