Yeah, that number went up pretty fast during the 2010s and 20s. Honestly, I think at this point it's a cost/manufacturing reliability thing. There aren't that many panel manufacturers, and these days a 65 inch OLED can be found for like a grand and a LED one for half of that. That's sort of been "what a TV costs" for most of this century, so cheaper panels at scale in that price range probably means people go for the bigger one they can get in that price range unless they have some hard space limitations.
