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.

Notice how the extendable linkages ("arms") are only supported on one face vs. both faces on some other mounts. There's no way I'd mount a 100+ lb TV with this design.
Compare to these designs where the arms are supported on both top and bottom faces:

I recently bought a Peerless brand (and they have a decent reputation) for this 90CH tv and I was not happy with the sturdiness of it. And the way the tv mounts on the arm is a pain in the ass. I'm returning it.
I'm buying an ECHOGEAR mount like I had before. Great price $90 for a great product.

This is a HUNDRED pound tv. It could kill someone. Cheaping out on a mount is not worth it.
The problem seems minor and I think Sony will fix it. I'm also not much of a gamer.
This is my fourth $2000+ Sony TV purchased since 1999. None of the first 3 have had problems.
In fact the Sony 65 that this 85 is replacing will be going in the bedroom.
I have received this tv but it's still in the box.
Despite paying for the white glove service, the guys just plopped it down and started to walk away.
I was like "whoa guys"
"What?"
"Don't you set it up ?"
"If you want"
"I have a wall mount ready for it, will you lift it onto there for me? I'll screw in the brackets, all you have to do is lift it."
"No we can't do that"
So I just said fark it, you can leave.
I'll get my $20 back from Costco.
