Deal Details
I bought one of these during the last sale for $969. it is a phenomenal TV for me. i don't game, just watch movies and stream YouTube videos.

Haven't heard if Amazon or Costco will be running the same price. I plan on getting another one for the bedroom. I called Best Buy and asked if I buy now ($1399) if they would refund the difference during their black Friday sale. they said no. does anyone have any experience to the contrary?

I would still wait and go for Costco deal as Costco has extended manufacture warranty for 5 years for the same price which bestbuy does not have. I'm just waiting for the Sony 800H or 950H models to come on Costco

Wish I had the room for a 65". Sony so far just won't budge on the 55" pricing.

Just know there's a huge performance difference (and price of course) between the 800H and 950H. Low contrast on the 800H in part results in poor Movie, HDR Movie and HDR gaming results per RTINGS.

Have you heard that the 950 maybe coming to Costco? That is what I really want, but I've not heard anything that makes me think that it will

Always had Sony TVs and never had issues. This is a good spec but the difference in the step up model is pretty big.

Does anyone know if the Costco version of this tv in 65 inches will go back to the sale price as well?

Nothing concrete yet about costco. The last time it went on sale a few months ago it was special pricing from Sony. Hopefully for Black Friday it will be the same and Best Buy, Amazon and Costco will be at the same pricing.

I was told by multiple BB employee's that they will price match the $999 on Sunday 11/22.

But then I saw this fine print online:

Our Price Match Guarantee does not cover:
...items for sale the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving, whether offered by us or a competitor.


I was worried about availability on 11/22 so I just went ahead and bought a 65in at full price, hoping for a price match. Worst case I guess I can just do a full return.

Should I return Samsung crystal LED for this Sony? About $300 higher for the Sony. Not sure if it's worth the hassle and price. Any thoughts from the experts?
I'm still rocking Samsung KS8500. That thing has huge contrast ratio and peak brightness to 1500 lumens. However...
Samsung tends to update software to simply plug in their ads - that's usually the first icon on the Apps row. User has no control. Every time when they update, the audio through HDMI to receiver from a connected PC breaks, you need to reset Audio Options in the TV. I've heard LG does the same Smilie Smilie, I guess is the same Korean team that implements the ads plugins.
Also, Samsung tends to restrict audio pass thru, which is annoying if the TV has no decoder for a particular format. LG is the same. Samsung insists in their video format HDR+ which already shows age.
SONY - they keep their TVs updated for a long time. They have a lot of codecs, support audio pass thru more flexible, have Dolby Vision. SONY tend to have more buggy firmware Smilie Smilie though, with restarts. Amazingly, it was this way before the Android TV implementation.

I myself, decided that will not touch Korean brands - it is just a matter of business mentality, they always do something to screw you for extra money, which ruins the user experience. Sad, because sometimes their hardware is great.

I would keep the Sony, especially if bought at Costco with long warranty.

Confirmed by BB sales manager; they do not price match 11/22-11/29.

Luckily, my in-store pickup window is still active on the 22nd. So I'm going to see what I can do, thinking about buying it at the normal price...returning it instantly...then instantly re-buying it at the sale price.

We'll see how it goes lol.

I chatted with a CSR rep online and was told that I can buy now and get the price adjusted when the Black Friday price is available. I have $1000 worth of Best Buy GC's and would much rather wait till the price becomes available.

Just letting others know that this might also be an option,

The Best Site says the following are excluded in regards to price match:

"Any financing offers, bundle offers, items included in bundle offers, subscription services, free items, pricing errors, mail-in offers, coupon offers, items that are advertised as limited quantity, out of stock items, clearance items, open-box items, refurbished items, pre-owned items, credit card offers, gift card offers, items included in gift card offers, Point of Sale Activation cards, video game discounts related to a membership program, voice-only deals, and items for sale the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving, whether offered by us or a competitor."

Any idea how buying now would qualify?

I would trust their official price match policy over some low level online agent.
