Just a heads up for those planning on using this tv with next gen gaming consoles. It appears 4k@120hz is broke and they don't plan on fixing it.

What TV will you get instead? I don't know of any other 85in TV that is better than this one for the same price. If you can afford a more expensive one, I probably would have bought that one in the first place.

I will like to reiterate, the 4k@120Hz has no impact on console gaming. The blurriness is only a problem if you plan to use this 85'' TV as a computer monitor. There are numerous posts about this on r/bravia which basically reiterates the same. The HDTVTest video about this basically shows the same thing - blurriness only noticeable when used a monitor to read the text, and ReviewTechUSA I believe has also made a video playing games at 4k@120Hz on this TV and demonstrated this. This was a conscious decision by Sony to "improve" the console gaming experience by making it smoother (the merit of this is debatable, which is a different thing).

Oh no ways. This was going to be for the main living room anyways so no pc. I got the CX 65 for my gaming loft area. Thanks for clarifying

There is no "true" hdmi 2.1 right now. If you want a tv just for 2.1 I would probably just wait it out till later next year to see how it all works out. There could be a chance that the hdmi 2.1 hardware is improved in next years tvs.
Serious reply, what about this LG? https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-86un...d-4k-tv​

I checked out this model at Costco and was viewing it on the sides from extreme angles to see what the rtings review was saying, I really didn't see a major difference. 85" TV is a beast though...make sure anyone considering this measures where you are going to put it.
I did the same thing today. The Q80 was a little bit cleaner at an angle but still not bad at all for this tv

Maybe I should rethink this.

Decided not to get this and save $600 (I got X850G). Decided that I am ok with 850G's shortcomings and HDMI 2.1 and FALD isn't worth 50% premium from 850G and I will probably wait until 100" TVs comes down in price or large OLED comes down in price.

This is an amazing deal on this size TV, but I suspect the frequent deals on this tv is because of all the bad press about the HDMI 2.1 update. As somebody who already has the PS5 pre-ordered, I think waiting until next year's line of TVs will be a safer bet for future proofing.

There are so many new features being introduced with HDMI 2.1 that the 2020 TVs have to make compromises here and there. Even getting the wrong HDMI cable (even though it advertises ultra high speed) can still lead to issues.

Too many risks and variables to take into account right. So I totally agree with other people to wait for next year's models if future proofing and next gen gaming are important for you.

If these features don't matter, then definitely get this deal if you can.

I need to buy a 75" and an 85". I'm trying to decide between the 900h (or the same costco model) vs the 950h....

So respectively the x950h is about $700 and $1000 more than the 900h.... (current price difference and sale price difference is about that same gap)

I've seen them side by side and the x950 is a little better, but not sure if its that much better than the x900.

Thoughts?

Is the 950h going on sale? If not the sale price difference of the 85" is going to have a $1500 gap from 950h to the x90ch. I'm not a gamer but I'm going with the x90ch/900h anyway even if it was only a $1k difference.

Not sure if the 950 is going on sale. I really wish I knew.

The prices I was referencing were on greentoe with current x950 prices compared to sale x900 prices. (About $700 difference on the 75" and $1050 difference on the 85"). This is unless the x950 goes on a better sale than it currently is.

I really like the 950 better, just not sure if it's worth that much more compared to the 900. If they were not next to each other, I would probably not notice the picture quality difference. But next to each other, there was definitely a difference, but not huge difference
