Here are some of the TV's I've looked at:
LG 77" C2 OLED - $3,997
Sony 77" A80K - $3,998
Sony 77" A80J - $3,798
Non-OLED options:
Samsung 85" QN85B - $3,498
Sony 85" X90K - $2,798
Sony 85" X85K - $2,598
Samsung 85" AU8000 - $2,498
Main use will be TV shows, hockey, and movies. Don't play a ton of video games. Room has a large window which is only a factor in the summer. Viewing distance is about 10 feet and a wide viewing angle is pretty important.

I would go 77" C2. The Sony's have a more agressive dimming when it detects static images like scoreboards whereas you can shut that feature off on the LG. So when watching hockey the Sony will start dimming. Also, the 77" C2's have excellent screen uniformity from all the panel tests I have seen. Also, the C2 is a full glossy panel as opposed to the Sony having semi gloss. The Sony will handle reflections a bit better but the glossy panel on the LG will allow more light to pass through. LG has caught up to Sony in processing and motion. LG also has Dolby Vision IQ with Precision Detail and Cinema. Sony is limited to Dolby Bright and Dark. The LG has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports but you said gaming is not a big deal so the Sony will do fine with having only 2 HDMI 2.1. I can't say enough good things about the 77" C2, I would not recommend any 65" LG OLED though as they all have a bad pink tint on the left side of the screen. 77" though is a beaut!
