Obligatory consumer information:
Currently this TV does not do 4K120 (instead it does 3840x1080 and then upscales) and Sony is being deliberate unclear whether it ever will. So if that specific feature is important to you, caution.
Costco specs say 4 x HDMI 2.1 ports. In reality it only has two, and one of them is also eARC. So if you want to connect eARC audio, and an XBOX, and a PS5; you'll be a port short.

If your window has a good amount of windows and you aren't able/allowed to cover them, a projector isn't for you.
I got this TV in November and I have windows directly across from it, and I'm not "allowed" to have curtains/drapes on them, but I DO have blinds on them.
I knew from the prior TV (2017 Sony XBR 65) that the windows are an issue and I had the 65" tilted down as much as possible to help with this.
When I go the 85" I made sure to get an fully articulating mount that has a 15 degree downward tilt (Mount is EchoGear EGLF2, which I highly recommend) so that I can counter the reflections as much as possible.
This approach has worked. On most days, the windows aren't an issue. On the brightest days, I definitely can't watch dark content (sci-fi for example, I have to save for the night time). On these bright days, I also put the tv in vivid mode (which has a fine picture, once you tweak the settings for it; yes vivid is awful out of the box).
With the tv titled down this much, the top edge of the tv is something like 16-18" away from the wall. Which some people might be bothered by. My wife and I are not bothered by it.

Costco gets you 5 years of manufacturer warranty and I have read if you purchase with the Costco VISA (i think?) You get an additional 2 years of warranty for a total of 7 years warranty.
I know there has been a lot of back and forth with advanced HDMI 2.1, 4k@120 and VRR options with this TV but for me I'm not a gamer so not a huge deal. I just am thinking about replacing my living room Epson 5040/110" setup with a television.
