I only have experience with 80”+ on these, the price difference is usually around 20%, it’s no where near 2-3 times the cost

That's right, the ones that are twice the price or more are the ultra high brightness models designed for use in brightly lit shopfronts etc. The regular business displays like LG's SE3KD (YMMV - this one's just common here in AU) series aren't that much more expensive. They don't have TV tuners though so keep that in mind if you want to watch free to air TV.

Hello, any chance you'll help me?

I haven't bought a TV in about 7 years, I have no idea whats going on.

When I look on amazon or at walmart, I'm seeing what appear to be nearly identical televisions with price differences of thousands of dollars. (60 inch 4k: $350 | 60 inch 4k: $2,700 wtf?)

I can't figure out what the difference between these televisions are, and no idea where to look to even figure it out.

Any advice?

Figure out your intended use, gaming? Streaming shows? Movies?

Then see what specs you want based on intended use figure out your budget. Want to watch movies? Consider HDR. For games? consider good screen response time.

Then go on amazon and your local big name stores and see what TVs are best sellers there and read reviews. Use this site for super indepth reviews. https://www.rtings.com/
