i think we are upping our budget to this 58"
mostly because it completely fills the little nook in the wall within an inch

wife is hung up on it not being 120Hz
i told her she's not a gamer and its not necessary. And that there is really no need to 'future proof' a $400 TV
thoughts?
Get the basic stuff right that is most important for your application. Must have the gotta-have stuff, don't worry about the nice-to-have niceties.
Does it have sufficient in/out? Listed as:
"2 x HDMI; 1 x USB (2.0); 1 x Composite In (AV); 1 x Digital Audio Out (Optical); 1 x RF In (Terrestrial/Cable Input); 1 x Ethernet (LAN)"^amazes me that so many TVs don't feature an analog audio out anymore.
Personally I wouldn't worry about the 60Hz refresh rate if not gaming.
This review site was helpful for me when I was selecting a new TV for my father a few years ago (link is direct to the page on that Samsung)-
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/tu7000 it was particularly helpful in comparative assessment given the three constraints I deemed most important for that situation- screen size (to fit in existing cabinet), sufficient contrast/brightness to work in a relatively bright sunlit room, and sufficiently wide viewing angle given the seating arrangement.
