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.

No spoilers, so there's a scene at night where Borat speaks to his daughter in the first half of the movie and it was this scene that completely changed my mind of this TV from decent to bad. During this night scene, there was an enormous amount of light blooming where the characters and any light colored objects bled the lighter colors into the dark areas (like the dark sky of the night). I absolutely wish I can sell this TV right now and pick up something else. I can't imagine I can get a worse TV set else where (excluding LG OLED).
Even without ever seeing this specific Sony set, I'd still go for the Sony. I'd even bet Sony's worse LCD is better than LG's best LCD sets (which isn't a very high bar I come to realize).
Get the Sony. Or, don't get the LG.
I just got a letter in the email from costco they changed the warranty on this tv to 5 years!!! so guess i will have this one for awhile since at the time i bought the square trade warranty also with it.
its like 40 mins but its good to know what each setting does .
