I had an 85 qn90a and it is great.I also have a 77 CX and was lucky enough to have both side by side in my living room before I returned the qn90a. I have 3 windows and a huge sliding glass door and honestly both TVs had no problems in the bright room. In the dark room they were both great but the CX was better. In the bright room both were great but qn90a was brighter. I personally overall like the CX better but it ain't a landslide like some people say. Both will make you happy but ultimately having Dolby vision, better contrast, and 4 HDMI 2.1s made me feel better about my choice. Either way you can't go wrong. I spent a lot of time on both TVs setting up the picture how I liked it and also found myself dimming the qn90a down And brightening the CX. Again either way you can't go wrong but I still give the nod to the CX. (I also have an Xbox series X and like that it checks all boxes). Btw no TV is perfect.

Very tempted by this but I think I'm going with the 77 CX at Costco. Hate this game!

You guys realize this garbage QLED tech is nothing compared to OLED. Right? CX at Costco is far superior to this when it comes to picture quality

Very true. See them in person and judge for yourself. OLED is on another level.

Nop don't realize! This TV is garbage. But a QN90A is very comparable to OLED and in many aspect far superior to OLED. We each have our choice and the two techs have their place. I don't watch my TV in a cave (I love sunlight and I installed windows and the most clear of them more or less everywhere when I remodeled) and I am paranoid about burn in. And before you claim the burn in risk is overblown, look at extended warranty. Those professionals are driven by data points and very few of them are even willing to cover burn in.

Again, pay for a QN90A. This garbage is definitely not comparable to an OLED. And don't forget you are getting a much larger TV. I like things big
