This was $849 during BF and I didn't pull the trigger. Might do it now.

IPS panel.... no good for movies.... doesn't show blacks, lots of bleed.... this is a daylight only tv yet it doesn't get very bright... at this price, I give it a Slickdeal value of 2

Picture quality not thrilling, just average. Everything works great, for $850 for 75 hard to complain. Hopefully it will last longer then $2000 Vizio M7 that just died after 5 year's.

At least that's the theory. Reality varies.

The q80 has much better picture quality.

I would agree tho dont count on VRR if u need it and dont quote me on freesync, now Im not confident... i held this model in high regard as a complete gaming tv on a budget (still makes a fine choice fo many/most)

now that Im seeing LG Ad's not mentioning those features anymore . Where before they said "may not be availabke at time purchase, will be added later vis FW update"....and explicitly listed VRR and Freesync on these same ads.

Crutchfield and many other panel sites and retailers still have vrr and Fsync listed for thie un85xx models but LG prob not offering up the changes/issues
/delays to their sales partners

I still like it as a decent 75" gaming cenric tv for the price that will still perform fairly well with xbox one x / series x / s —- but the real solid next gen gaming tv's are at least 2021 models if not further out.

Ive seen wt least 2-3 brands that rushed to say all the catchphrases and keywords have issues already

and including OLED's (they suffer from major issues with VRR, or they did ) so dont think those
Are immune..,quite the comtrary i believe...

Qled will definitely look better, does the refresh matter more to you? Id wait and get an oled when they become more available. They just look so much better

Bro people have probably already bombarded you, but the Q80T is a sick TV. Apples and oranges.

We bought this TV during BF. The picture was ok and we liked it. After a few weeks the WIFI started randomly disconnecting and you couldn't connect to the internet without a full TV reset. After troubleshooting with the concierge service they sent me to LG customer service. LG couldn't fix it and they were going to send a technician. Then the TV volume wouldn't work, again randomly it would go mute and you would have to power cycle the TV to fix it. At that point I contacted costco.com to come get the TV.

They came picked up my TV on 12/22/2020 and I have yet to receive my refund. I'll never buy anything again from Costco that I can't personally take to the store myself to return it.

My TV was a lemon and the delivery guys that picked it up said they've seen a bunch of those getting returned. But if you get a good one and don't have to deal with COSTCO returns, then you should be fine.
