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.

I'm loving my 85" X90CH, and FINALLY with the last firmware update a month or so ago my eARC is stable using Yamaha TSR-7850.

Costco return - how does this work for the TV? Do they come pick it up?
Warranty - would they come repair or again, need to ship a massive TV in the mail?
Firmware - I see many people reporting bugs. Is this still an ongoing issue? If so I'll just avoid this TV. Thanks all! Eager to pull the trigger.

I have an 65 CX in the garage behind a 110" screen that displays a 4k projector, so I've had my fair share across the board. I choose to watch movies on this set even though my theater setup is really in the garage.
It is an outstanding set with my biggest complaint being the dropping out of the sound constantly, requiring a "reset" which is accomplished by long holding the power button. A minor annoyance but for sure irritating, especially for my better half. Wifi drops out on occasion as well, also requiring a reset.
There is a xbox series x and ps5 hooked up to this, along with a q70r atmos bar setup, it does not play well with the q70r via eARC and I've yet to find a suitable solution to have the q70r part of the setup (WAF) and keep both game consoles without having to swap the hdmi from Xbox to PS since one of the available 2.1 ports is taken over by the eARC to q70r.
It sounds pretentious but these issues do become frustrating when looking at the parts, but fade away when thinking of the whole package and realize that is the price you pay for being an early adopter of a new standard.
The remote is outstanding and works perfectly with an appletv 4k and the ps5, all with no issues so the wife appreciates the simplicity of it over the caavo and harmony setups we've used in the past.
We got 4% back on this set which was nice, but if you pull the trigger, be prepared for an absolutely horrible experience with the 3rd party delivery company. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be delivered 4 separate times, my wife and I had to set time aside each time to wait for a delivery that never showed despite being promised each time by the dispatch and supervisor that the delivery was going to show. The support number was VERY responsive though and quick to answer the phone.
Overall, I would buy it again, all things considered, but we are all different, so putting this out there for you to have another point of reference.
