This is on sale for 2 days through 10/25. This is the same as the 900h except you get 5 years warranty versus 1 year. You also get Costco's 90 day return policy and their great customer service. Pay with the Costco Visa and you get 7 years warranty total. The Citibank 2 years kick in after the 5 year manufacturer warranty ends. I wouldn't suggest a Square Trade warranty as it runs concurrent with the manufacturer warranty.
Delivery is free, but you can get White Glove delivery for an extra $20 which I suggest. They remove the TV from the box and verify it works. They also take the box with them, so you don't have to throw it away (box not required for return).
Paying with the Costco Visa will get you 2% cashback ($51.38) and if you have the executive membership you get an additional 2% back for a total of $102.76 combined.

They recently released the HDMI 2.1 firmware update for this to enable 4K @120Hz, so it will be PS5 ready. VRR and ALLM will be updated in a separate firmware update at some point.
I previously got the 85" 850g deal and it has some pretty bad blooming in dark scenes in a dark room. I accepted it at first, but I decided I want to get something better before the 90 days comes up. This has FALD which will make a big difference with the blooming, I'll get HDMI 2.1 for the PS5 and will have the ATSC 3.0 tuner for 4K OTA broadcasts. The 850g is also limited to 60hz inputs.
If you aren't concerned about a 5 year warranty, you can try Greentoe with the 900h. I got an offer a few weeks ago for $2399 shipped with no tax. They offer extended warranties through CPS, but they are rated pretty poor. I decided to wait for Costco to get the longer manufacturer warranty and I can deal with a local business if I have issues. For me the extra cost is worth it for a TV this large.

Some details on the firmware update are here on the HDTVTest YouTube channel. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI2QIOh
The firmware update doesn't include VRR yet, just 4K@120, HDMI 2.1, and eARC. eARC is what I wanted though so I am very happy. If Sony hadn't provided some guidance on the firmware update, I was going to return mine before my 90-day return window expired in early December.
