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!

In my case I went with the Samsung Q90R 65" the reason is my room is well lit. I had a plasma tv, it did not workout well.
So be sure to consider the lighting in your room before going Oled or lcd
After tweaking,  the Samsung looked pretty darn good.
For an LCD side viewing angles are awesome.
Depending on how far you sit from your tv I would consider a 65".
Good luck!

@auxinput, most retailers demonstrate TV's in demo mode. This mode blows the output way out of proportion. Even if you can change the settings, the viewing environment is typically rather poor.
