Deal Details
Just picked up a 86un8570aud from Sam's Club for $999.91 ($1,165 / tax + 4 year warranty). This is the 2020 model of their LED TV. This is not a videophile TV but based on the human reviews around the internet this is a "omg let's watch TV on my entire wall this is amazing" type TV at an incredibly reasonable price with positive reviews of other 2020 LGs at similar size ranges. Note that because it's under $1,000, the Sam's club 4 year extended warranty is $100.

Product Number: 980269220

Price comparisons:Notable features: 4K UHD, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 120htz, 86'', Magic Remote, WebOS smart TV UI

Notable lacking: localized dimming, HDR+ (though Dolby Vision is comparable it seems), has IPS panel (personally I prefer these for wide viewing angle but I know it's not supposed to be as nice)

Transport note
Bring a friend, ratchets and a truck. This thing hangs off the end of the flat carts they have! Also in transport, was able to lay it down successfully. Added a photo of it standing up, 3 minutes later it tipped over (its fine). If you don't want to lay it down, consider the instructions in the box tell you to lift it up and lay it over the edge of a table face down so that you can apply the base legs (optional).

I was able to get one from Woodbury, MN which had still 4 left.

It did not fit in my Toyota highlander and had to borrow a minivan from a friend. After bringing it home, I found out, the 4-year warranty that I bought for $99 also comes with free delivery (within 35 miles) and setup. That is a great benefit cause the delivery cost alone would be over $50.

I believe you get premium tech support available 24/7 for setting up a new purchase or device and not free delivery.

The 85" Hisense H6510G was selling for $1000 and has way better black uniformity because it has a VA panel. Therefore, the reason why this 86" TV has poor black uniformity is because of its IPS panel. Picture courtesy of Rtings.

Where was it selling for 1k?

85" Hisense H6510G is a Best Buy-exclusive model released for Black Friday.

If you want the most screen for you buck and do not mind having an IPS panel then this 86" LG UN8570 is actually better than a Black Friday deal. If you want the most screen for you buck and need a VA panel it is worth waiting for the Black Friday doorbusters. However, keep in mind that the doorbusters TVs that are released for Black Friday tend to have bad grey uniformity AKA the dirty screen effect.

Picked up the display model for $799 and added the 4-year warranty. $940-ish out the door. Fingers crossed it lasts and looks good. Don't need OLED as it's for our living room mounted up high

Thanks, it appears you do get free delivery and setup included in the 4 year warranty. All this time I was ignoring all of the instore only deals at Sam's Club on the 75" and up TVs because it wouldn't fit in my hatchback car.

Quote from RyanL :
If you guys are talking about clouding/flashlighting then local dimming doesn't always help with that. The bigger the TV, the more you see inconsistencies in the screen/back lighting. Seems like cheaper brand's TVs like Vizio and TCL have it a lot more often than say a comparable TV from Samsung or Sony (especially in the larger sizes like 65" & up). I had a 65" Vizio with full array local dimming with really dirty backlighting but the one it replaced was perfect but that one died after a few days. You have to be willing sometimes to make a few exchanges before you get a good one (I was SOL in that case because it was a clearance deal and couldn't find another). Sounds like the biggest gripe you guys may have with your TVs is that they have an IPS screen (poor contrast) and will look like garbage in a dark room (VA panel TVs excel in those conditions).
My TV is a VA panel (according to RTINGs) I'd much prefer the ips panel. I'm not talking about black or Grey uniformity I'm talking about dimming. On mine (and I'm sure on this one) you can see lots of light bleed from white objects on black screens. Actually it might even look better on an ips panel where the blacks aren't as black

thats because it doesn't have local dimming (it's not full array).

home depot is the better one for things like these. $20 for 70 minutes with NO mileage charges.
Good to know, thanks
