help kk buy a large TV so everyone can come over and party

60" or 65" also a soundbar.

What should I be looking for?  Probably going to Best Buy price match it.  Where should I look online.

4k HDR curved?  I need answers friends.

Unless something has changed recently there is not a ton of 4K material and no real standard for physical media distribution.  If 4K "sticks" you will likely be ready to upgrade by then anyways. 

I would look for the best bang for your buck gaming model as they will generally be good for sports viewing too.

Go to the store and look at them. Buy the one that looks best.

1- Get as big as you can afford
2- Make sure it has HDR 10 at a minimum, Dolby Vision is ideal.
3- 4K is obvious at this point.
4- OLED is the best you can get (but boy, it's pricey).

Either buy OLED or buy something cheap until OLED comes down in price. Oh and I like Samsung products but their QLED is not the same or as good as OLED.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

we put a 55 inch 4k TCI from Costco for $419 at the lake house last summer and my only complaints are the Roku remote does not work with cable or sat and the hdmi interface with the avr is kinda funky

depends on the room, but moderately a pain in the ass i assume.  prob becomes much easier if you have an a/v receiver or something, then you just need an hdmi cable long enough to get to your receiver.  30' is about the max length.

I've got a samsung and 2 sonys. oldest is a sony, middle samsung, newest sony. like a samsung sandwich with sony bread. oldest sony is an led but back when led's were kinda new and the picture is crappier than the other two. newest one is the only one that's 4k. I don't think there's anything 4k played on it though.
