Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)?

I am moving into a larger home, and intend to step up to a 55" TV. All recommendations welcome, but please note the following:

The TV will be used primarily for cinema, and especially DVDs. I will not be "gaming". I expect that I will begin to stream some films, but I typically use a high-quality DVD player. I don't care about audio except for connections to my stereo system. 

I have done some basic research, but would appreciate feedback from those with more TV experience. I don't expect that I would be at great risk to burn-in issues with OLED, but admit that it makes me a bit uncomfortable. I definitely do not need the latest and greatest, and would be happy to take advantage of deals in really good 2018/19 models.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks tvad.

It was an outstanding television, and had I not moved abroad, I expect that I would probably still be using it! I do remember the P-i-P feature. I didn't use it much, but it was wild.

Thank you all for your responses!

It is, in a way, pleasing that Sony is a consensus choice. I say that because before I moved out of the U.S., I had the last of the flagship Sony XBR CRT TV. It was a monster in terms of weight, but the picture was, to my eyes, better than any of the early flat-screen TVs. I owned it for years.

Again, thanks!
