"The Sony X850G has a native 120Hz panel, but it can't display a 120Hz signal from 1080p or 1440p sources."
So you only get 120hz on 1080p via built in apps? What is the point of that?
I have this and Samsung Q70 86" and the Sony has better color and anti-glare. Since the Sony is in a well-lit, high traffic living room, I could care less about HDR and local dimming.
A common problem with 85"+ TVs, you will not have many options for TV stand (FYI if TV stand is barely wider than TV, the TV still looks very oddly out of place) So either commit to hanging it on the wall or putting it on a mobile cart for 100' TVs, the latter is what I did.
The TV looks great, but there are a couple things that annoy me
1) It won't turn my receiver on automatically, there's a known issue with HDMI CEC that Samsung hasn't fixed (multiple people reporting this)
2) Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision

As other's mentioned, it's direct lit VA panel, with edge dimming. This is apparent at times on high contrast menus, but I don't find any annoyances during actual use. It is bested by the 900F and 950G of course, but those are more expensive.
I'd venture to say you will not find a better 80" TV at this price. New, with excellent warranty from Costco.
