I'm going to be replacing my living room 55inch Samsung LED with a new 65inch.

The room has sliding patio doors down one side so it can be very bright with the curtains open. On the other hand, watching in the day will be very limited with most use in the evenings for films (BluRay, Prime, Disney+ etc), TV shows (streaming or Freeview) and main sporting events (Wimbledon, Ashes, Euros etc).

Bearing all this in mind, is OLED the best way forward?

Thanks for that - that makes my decision easier than it was.

Looking at last years LG C3 to keep the price reasonable.

With model numbers, you could probably look-up things like panel brightness and info about any anti-reflective coatings present on the two sets you're comparing. RTINGS have an impressive database.

Is your current set LCD? You're aware of OLED screen burn? How long is the OLED to last you? John Lewis I think offer a five year warranty that covers screen burn. Depends upon how you'll be using it I guess.
Was unaware of RTINGS so thanks for that.
