Nice! I just pulled trigger on it as well. Just curious what was the price for it when you purchased? I guess 1849.99 ?

Is there a link you can provide?

That deal is dead and it also involved $200 SD rebate along with 60 day expiring Dell GC

I believe $1697 may have been the 82" version, not the 86".

Also price for this deal is essentially $1699 since it includes $100 Square Trade 3 year warranty and with buying from Costco using Citi Costco CC warranty stacks up to 7 years (1st - Manufacturer, 2nd Costco Concierge, 3-5 Square Trade, 6-7 Citi Costco CC)

I've been telling myself $1700 for this ... Been waiting awhile ... Does anyone see this getting lower at Costco? I don't care about the warranty

if all new models will be HDMI 2.1 moving forward, all of these "old" models will get real cheap fast.

I guess if you need a new TV NOW and this big, its a good deal--though i would give up that $100 squaretrade bundle if they just gave me an additional $100 off.

I see this TV going to <$1500 before end of the year

Have you had bad experience with SQ?

I've been trying to complete a warranty claim with LG for months now. I've gotten endless run around of all sorts--no call backs as promised, technician never shows up, etc., etc. I've given up but I've also given up on LG. I'll never buy an LG product again.

I believe there are just as many people talking about Samsung claims. I believe if you buy from Costco you have a bit more arsenal as they will help out within first two years

This TV is good for bright rooms. Saw it in a nearby condo that's basically a wall of windows. After dark though, the picture just lacks depth and cannot do dark scenes well. If screen size is the top priority, it's got that. I see these things at Costco and people walk by them to get to other sets no matter the price.
