Hi guys, I need urgent TV purchasing advice. Suffering from Analysis Paralysis I simply cannot make up my mind

I'm not interested in any Smart features, living in a Klein Dorpie has it perks but blazing fast Internet isn't one of them. Since most TV's have this functionality these days I probably don't have an option.

All I really want is a Big TV for watching Sport (90% use case) ... Motorsport, Football, Tennis, Rugby, Cricket etc etc via DSTV decoder. Other 10% will be late night Discovery, National Geographic or History on the very odd occasion. Maybe a Sunday evening movie once a month.

I'm sitting about 2.6m - 2.8m away from my TV. I was initially looking at 55" offerings but buy once, cry once has me looking at 65" Models as well. I was really thinking of spending 10k max but if the missus isn't watching I may get away with another 5-6k on top of that.

Motion Blur is probably my biggest concern. I also really prefer a central stand over 2 flimsy legs.

Samsung 65Q60T / Samsung 65TU8500 / Samsung 55Q70T all caught the eye. Wish I had enough funds for a 80R or 80T

Hope that is enough info. Any Recommendations?
