I'm not a fan of the cheap quality Korean products like Samsung and LG.
LG's OLED TVs are far and away the best consumer TVs on the market. Samsung isn't far behind in terms of raw picture quality. You also pay for the privilege of owning the best, and personally, I don't think Samsung's are worth what they charge. If you're spending that much, get an LG OLED
Sony has some nice mid-tier offerings that are in-between LG/Samsung and then the bargain brands in terms of picture quality and price.
TCL and Vizio have done wonders the last few years in terms of bringing higher end features and picture quality to the bargain tier. Personally, I have a TCL 55P607 and couldn't be happier with it, especially considering it would have cost double to triple to get a TV that would be noticeably better. One of the big reasons I went with the TCL is that it has some of the lowest input latency, which makes it much better suited for gaming.
This is the boat I am in as well right now. Really like the OLED but am not real sure about a $2500 price tag for a TV. How is your TCL with sports? There will be gaming as well. Really interested in the 65". You are the second on here that has recommended TCL.
I have zero regrets with my TCL. My original one was apparently damaged in shipping thanks to FedEx, but it wasn't immediately obvious that my issues were caused by physical damage. I posted some pictures on AVSForum and was contacted directly by a TCL rep confirming that what I was seeing was likely shipping damage. The rep had already contacted their customer center in California and gave me a direct contact there that was waiting to hear from me. I had a new TV delivered to me within a week by a local repair tech, who unpacked the new TV, tested it, swapped it out with the damaged one that I had mounted on the wall, repackaged everything, and then took the damaged TV with him. I've never had such a positive customer service experience with a TV vendor, even when I worked in high in home theater gear. It was also faster than a return through Amazon would have taken.
The TV itself has been great and I've had zero complaints while using with with a 4K Apple TV, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, and my gaming PC (when I wanted to play on something bigger than my 165Hz monitor).
I actually just helped a friend install the 65R617 in her new house and it was just as nice. If I needed a 65" TV for my space, that's what I would get without question.
