I've been looking at buying a new TV as well. I'm looking at both Ruko and Fire TV platforms.
I don't game but I want something that gives me a picture when viewing sports and movies.

You can go cheap and get whatever size you want. They all have HD and decent frame rates that you ain't noticing shit. You can also get the best background lighting that does make a difference if you are watching them side by side. I guarantee you, you won't miss it as much as the money you spent on it. Unless you are into saying you have the latest and greatest that is.
At Costco we have an 85" for $800 right now.
Biggest thing i would suggest for any new tv is a sound bar. My little bit of research and best bang for the buck is a Sony hts-c40. Bar and base box. Can be blue toothed so no wires just power cords. Better than bose or Sonos or Vizio anywhere near that price range. Can get them for $150 on sale.

I bought a cheap 58” fire tv from Bestbuy for about $169 for my patio and I’ve been very pleased with it. I’m sure it will die in a couple of years but if I get 3 then a huge win.
For my inside TV I have a 65” Sony with a Sonos sound bar but that setup cost about $1,400. The TV has built in Google Chrome so one remote and I like it.
Saturday night, the wife and I stopped at Target to pick up some miscellaneous supplies on our way home. As we exited the store, we walked past a group of young women trying to stuff a 75" Westinghouse TV into a minivan.
LOL @ trying to stuff a 75" TV into a minivan.
LOL!!! @ buying a Westinghouse! I told my wife as we were hopping into my Jeep "I hope they live in an apartment complex with a large dumpster."

I just got it setup for the game....
I love it and my GF says it's so big, which I think is a good thing.
The sound bar will show up in a few days along with the wall mount to fine tune this purchase.
Plus, since I have an Amazon Card it's interest free for 12 months.
They make it so simple.

I’ve had pretty good luck with Samsung TVs except that they don’t allow HULU for some reason.
The sound quality sucks also.
As far as Samsung appliances…don’t buy them….especially their refrigerators. Ice maker will crap out on it because it has a faulty design. Every technician that I spoke with told me that they always go bad and that the replacement will eventually go out as well.
South Korean junk. Seriously, stay away from them.

We had a Samsung washer and dryer at our last house. Previous owner left them there. Soon figured out why. Absolute trash. We left them behind as well.

sounds like your Samsung is too old to support the Hulu app
Hulu supports Samsung TVs from 2016 or later.
You can also download the Hulu app on a variety of other supported devices, but keep in mind that the content and features that you have access to will vary depending on your plan.
