I don't think this is a minor thing either after reading a dozen pages or so and may be a deal breaker for many.

Look under the 4th column for 85" version's specifications.
TV weight without stand is 100.9 lbs or 105.1lbs with stand.

$1970 85" version cost 63.8 cents per square inch of screen
$1599 75" version cost 66.5 cents per square inch of screen
$970 65" version cost 53.7 cents per square inch of screen
Therefore, the 75" version is the worst choice and actually cost more than the 85" version when looking at cost per square inch of screen

Costco.com VS Costco Warehouses (physical stores)
Costco.com vs Costco Warehouses (physical stores) act as 2 different business units and will not price match if bought from the "other" store.
Costco.com
Costco.com Price Adjustment Page: https://customerservice
30-day Price Adjustment
Multiple people have chatted/talked with customer support and have posted proof that orders will be price adjusted.
Multiple Costco.com orders even have the price adjustment already issued.
Free shipping
Costco Warehouses
Price adjustment seems to depend on the associate/store manager so YMMV.
The carton is a beast and DON'T LAY TV FLAT when transporting.

Does anyone have any thoughts comparing the two sets? Should I pick this one up and return the q70r?
Thanks in advance.

To me, the x900h is the best bang for the buck out there, even considering the 4k120 issues. Tbh, if this issue causes Sony to drop prices further or give owners some refund/credit, I think it will be a boon for most people. Most ppl don't care about 4k120hz gaming on PC. I'm an avid gamer who game on both consoles + pc (getting both next gen consoles too), but even I don't care.
Something most people don't talk about is that this is an android TV with one of the fastest media processors out there. This means you can run a ton of Android apps at the fastest speed available, including local media streamers. I watch tons of local and subtitled contents so having multiple apps to do this is awesome. Don't forget Android games and other stuff.
Having 2 hdmi 2.1 ports is great. Ps5 + xbx series x. I'd like 1 more so I can have an eARC port for my AVR (maybe a future hdmi 2.1 AVR) but eh.
LG CX is a strong consideration but burn in and lower brightness keep me away. That and the $850 price difference (for 65").
Now I just need Costco to put the 65" back to its previous sale price of $969. They're dropping prices of both 85 and 75" on the 20th so why the heck not do the 65" too?
If you can fit the 85" in your intended room, then this is probably the best TV deal this BF season. My living room furniture isn't deep enough to fit the that monster (nor the 75") so I have to settle for 65. I uploaded a visualized comparison between the 65" vs 85" overlayed on my current setup (60" 1080p TV). Both sizes are a bit exaggerated but you it gives you a good idea of how large the 85" is. I measured the 65" and it fits perfectly between my 2 speakers. I can go to 75" but I'd have to lose my KEF Q150 speakers and use aftermarket stands. No soundbar can compare to the Q150s but it would look clean. Maybe a 7.1.4 soundbar system might convince me to switch.
Btw, this is from the Amazon sizing app. It's pretty cool.
Bestbuy has the 65" on BF for $999 but Costco has 7yr warranty + 4% cash back.
