I am a Civil Engineer and I did the math for you:

$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

60 pages TLDR
Links

Direct Link to purchase TV: https://www.costco.com/sony-85%22...57292.html (goes in and out of stock).
Rtings.com review: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900h (IMHO one of the best LED TV's out there)


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.costco.co...l/a_id/628
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.


4K 120HZ Blur Issue

(11/13) Sony has acknowledged the blur issue and promised to address it: https://www.sony.com/electronics/...s/00254079
Here is the Sony support page: https://www.sony.com/electronics/...s/00254078


Hope this helps!

Coulda swore the 82 and 86 were VA panels. Odd as you describe what sounds like the downsides of an ips panel...are those your actual observation from the set you have?
I have the LG 86" and returning it for Sony. Horrible watching football. Great for movie and shows

For anyone debating on the price adjustment through costco.com, I can confirm they will do it for online orders. I called in this morning and showed the rep the online holiday ad for the upcoming sale which is within 30 days of my 10/23 order. They put in the request and I just got an email stating that I get a $650 price change credit for my order (including tax). I rep made it sound like it would take until the 20th, but the email makes it look like it's done now. I will know for sure in a few days if the refund shows up on my credit card
As an update, I got my $650 refund posted to my credit card this morning as a price adjustment for the upcoming sale.

Do you already have the TV delivered. I wanted to see if they would give an adjustment even if the TV has not shipped. TIA

Quote from eng33 :
I am mounting mine centered on the wall so the bottom of the TV is a little below my eye height. People often say to have the mid-point match your eye height, however most people aren't sitting perfectly straight and are leaned back a a little so I don't think it is a big deal if it is a little higher. With a TV this large, I really don't think it matters much. I also sit pretty far away so it matters even less. If you have a 5.1 surround system with a center speaker, people also say to have the center speaker at ear height which is basically the same as eye height. So you obviously can't do both.
Putting the tv too high to accommodate the center channel is a bad idea. The center channel being a bit low is not a huge deal but if it is noticeable, you can just angle it slightly upwards. A tv too high is going to be extremely uncomfortable.

You did the request over the phone? Or did you fill out the online price adjustment request?

Is this the one that's getting 4k120 via firmware update? Is this model number just specific to Costco so they can avoid price matches? Is it an x900h in actuality?
1- allegedly*
2- pretty much, wholesale clubs
3- yes plus 4 yr longer factory warranty

* ps5 only week or so away nov 12, check with ps5 owners / sony x900 / x90 owners threads online on how well it works / if update sent / etc a full week before tv is on sale

amazing you got an adjustment already. I was told no adjustments currently and that it had to be requested during the promotional price period but that it won't be an issue as "This is our price adjustment policy! We will always credit you the difference if the item you purchase goes on promotion within 30 days after your purchase."

I originally used the online price request, but I didn't hear anything after a week. I ended up calling in and the agent put in a new request which she said would be automatically fulfilled on the 20th. However, I got an email that same day stating the refund was issued and 2 days later (today) it showed up on my credit card.

Wow, lucky. I tried calling but they won't do anything until 11/20. They did assure me I could get the adjustment then though.

Ouch. Stings a bit since buying over a month ago for the higher price. Also, the TV has been pretty good but I wish it had more storage, it has been rather flakey with soundbars, and the wi-fi dropping sometimes after being on standby.

It goes in and out of stock. I checked the link occasionally and saw it came back in stock Monday night, so I ordered.
