Which to get​

Looking to upgrade my TV game and I'm torn between two options.

First up, we have the Philips 32PFL6573/F7. It's a 32" FHD 1080p which sounds decent for regular viewing, and it works with Google Home, which is a big plus for me since I love that smart home integration. But, on the downside, I'm worried that the picture quality might not wow me since it's only 1080p, especially for larger screens. Plus, there’s not much mentioned about sound quality here.

Then there's the Sharp 4T-C65FS1UR. This beast boasts 4K Ultra HD OLED, which should give me stunning picture quality. It also features Dolby Audio, so I’m expecting some serious sound to match. The Roku TV integration is a bonus, offering tons of streaming options right off the bat. But, is the 65" size too big for my space? And will the cost be too steep for my budget?

So, between these two, which one should I go for? I'm really looking for that sweet spot of picture and sound quality, but also want to be smart about my decision. Any thoughts or experiences with these models?
