LG 75" Class (74.5" Diag.) - UN8570 Series - 4K UHD LED LCD TV
$899 from 1/17 - 2/7
Budget tv with current gen gaming console hdmi 2.1 goodness...
and "real" 120hz native refresh.
Rtings dropped the ball on the value of this tv, for its size and gaming input lag, and resolutions supported + price point.
even the 65" @ $629 was enticing me, plus the 82" and 86" are regularly discounted, but glad I waited for the 75". For gaming I love this size now on my Sony 850E and xbox one x / ps4 pro.
Now I'll be ready for the series X, ps4 pro, gaming video cards, etc with 120hz input @ 4k displayed natively whenever I get the source content.
And a reputable brand (been scared to buy a vizio M/P/PQ...) . Plus Costco warranty/return policy...for gaming/ganers, its like this tv was built with that in mind 1st and foremost.
Theres debate if VRR is supported but if not it likely will be. Still a badass 120hz @ 4k / 1440p / 1080p capable tv @ 75" for $899 is hard to beat...
FYI firmware notes mention freesync support
and RTX 30xx improvements:

It'll fit.
How far back do you sit from the tv?
We have an L shaped couch in this room and the tv is about 7 feet away from the closest point and 14 feet away at the farthest point. We also have the tv sitting about 5'-2" above the fireplace.

The 86" is mounted in a 14x14 dedicated theatre room with no ambient light source, black painted walls, black painted ceiling, black painted door etc.

My first impressions...
I'm thoroughly impressed with the overall quality/design of the TV. While the bezel is thicker than competitors and isn't as "aesthetically pleasing"...it doesn't detract from the overall design.
The picture is great...no issues at all watching a variety of content from Amazon/Netflix/Hulu etc. Obviously if all the content was in 4K it would be relatively flawless but digital streaming services just aren't there yet. While watching 13 hours some of the explosions, during the Ambassador's failed extraction scene, were definitely not as sharp as I would have liked but so far that's the only time I've noticed a less than perfect picture. I was also watching in HD...not 4K.
At the end of the day, if you are looking for a massive 86" television, I don't think you'll regret going with this LG. Worst case you hate it and end up taking it back to Costco. I rolled the dice and I'm very pleased.

Yes...built a new house and needed 3 TVs to replace old ones. Costco pricing was in line with what I wanted to spend so I bought all of them at once.
