Except that, though I can afford a bigger tv than 55" tv, I still am not going to buy one. And buying the 85" they recommend is _enormous_. It might make for a cinematic experience, but it poses additional problems beyond price: 1) You can never sit closer to the TV. I always sit ~12' from my TV, but walking by the tv at close range (between two doors on either side) is going to be jarring for passers-by. If I have friends over for a movie night, we would have to huddle at the far end of the room. 2) It doesn't fit the space, both physically and design wise. I couldn't put that big a tv in the space if I wanted. Even if I did, it's going to be ugly as sin unless the space is very specifically designed for cinema experiences. 3) That's going to be an obnoxious way to watch non-cinema content. Having a TV at the other end of a 12 foot room is not going to be an uncommon affair. Having a room where an 85" screen is appropriate is another matter all together. I feel like the article should have a big disclaimer at the top "This is the maximum size you can enjoy, not the maximum size you should necessarily buy".
