Looking to upsize my TV need some recs

I have a 58 inch Roku and unfortunately my vision is declining and at the viewing distance in my living room I struggle reading some text. I'm thinking of moving up to 65 or 75. I'm in a rental until next October so not looking for anything super premium. I intend to buy another home next year and will eventually probably get an 85 inch frame TV as my main unit but no point in doing that now. The TV I'm looking for now will more likely be a secondary TV that I'll throw in a spare bedroom or something later. I am looking for something that has decent anti glare properties though.

The only answer to find your appetite for glare is to go to Best Buy or similar, and look at different series of TV from the same brand (TCL has I think 8 alone) and figure out which one looks the best to you, and then buy it wherever you want.
If you're talking about closed captioning text, I think (I'm guessing) the size is dictated based on a percentage of what the screen size is. Bias lighting behind the TV (you stick it to the TV, not the wall in many cases) may help make your eyes adjust to the text on score bugs, etc., better. They're cheap and worth a try.

Sam’s Club was selling a hundred inch for like $1300

Jumping from 58 to 65 already makes a noticeable difference at normal viewing distance. If glare matters, look at mid range LCDs with good matte coatings, Sony and TCL usually handle reflections better than cheap panels. Skip OLED for this use case since it costs more and glare can be worse in bright rooms. A solid 65 now makes sense and you can go big later when it becomes the main TV.

77" OLEDs are around $1500. Or you can grab a 75" Samsung LCD from Sam's for $1000

Went with this one: 77 Inch Class LG OLED evo AI C5 4K Smart TV 2025
I didn't realize how heavy OLED panels were. If I buy another one I'm paying to get that thing delivered and set up.
I have a friend coming to visit Friday and I'm going to wait until then to set it up to have another pair of hands to handle the thing

Let us know what you think about the anti glare performance of your TV. I'm waiting until BestBuy has it's annual Super Bowl sale event before heading up there to check out 75" and 77" TVs.
Our main TV watching room is in a large sunroom with no direct sunlight on the TV wall but there is plenty of natural light and reflections off of the glass doors and windows that make certain times of the day slightly annoying when watching especially dark low light scenes on the TV, which is currently an older Sony Bravia TV with a great picture, but not that great on glare. So anti glare is a top priority for a replacement TV for us
My preliminary research has led me to want to check out the following TVs with anti glare screens: Samsung S90F and also the S95F, plus the Sony Bravia XR X90L, XR X95L and BZ series (with anti glare screens).
The best I can tell so far is that Samsung's S95F has the best anti glare screen of any consumer TV.

I bought the same TV a few months ago. It has a great picture and really excels at night. The glare during the day is very noticeable when you are thinking about it. If I just flop down and start watching something, it’s fine but if I notice the glare I have a hard time not concentrating on it. I have a large window directly behind the main viewing area and a small window 90 degrees to the right of that one.
I did a side by side comparison between it and the G5 at Best Buy. My older eyes could not tell a difference in image quality.
It is fairly heavy. My son and I were able to put it up easily though.

Yeah it's definitely much better at night
I can live with the glare I suppose
I was able to put it together by myself but had a friend help me get it on the stand. The base adds a lot of weight
