Panel Type: VA (excellent contrast at the expense of viewing angles)
Backlight: Full Array Local Dimming (50 zones on the 65")
Peak Brightness: Average (~700 cd/m² for small bright highlights)
Full 4K@120hz support with Freesync and G-Sync VRR
In many ways this is favorable to the 2021 Q80A which moved from the VA panel to an IPS-like panel, which many think looks worse.
I will say though - it feels like these prices aren't fantastic for the age of the TV. I've seen Q80A prices be more competitive in recent months.
You can get an Open Box 65" Q80T for around $900

All this to say that I regret not buying the LG OLED equivalent at the time and will certainly be switching over when I purchase my next TV (probably this year). If you are heavy into console gaming (my primary TV use), I've read the LG OLED line is worth the extra money (even 2019-20 models)

Replacing the TV with a LG CX OLED ironically fixed the problem - and it works better with the Samsung soundbar than the Samsung TV ever did.
But the TV operating system is tizen and it doesn't respond to voice as well as Google assistant on the Android TV sticks. Bixby, in my opinion, is a huge flop.
So I had no choice but to put a streaming stick on it mainly for The voice interaction. Plus, tizen would not give me all of the results of my paid services. So if I want to watch a movie, it might be available on Disney Plus or HBO Max and it wouldn't tell me about it in the list of results it would display.
Having just purchased a Sony OLED with Google tv, I'm looking back and I should have bought a Sony 2 years ago instead of the Samsung.
Two great companies. I think Sony has the edge. I'll never buy another Samsung now. I'm in the Sony camp because of the motion handling and Google Assistant

I have the 75 version of the tv OP is looking at. I really like it but I got the clearance Sam's price a few months back for 899$.
I also have it in a very bright room where OLED just couldn't compete with the brightness. For me the clearance price and location of the tv made me pull the trigger on the QLED. No regrets.
Only one HDMI 2.1 is a bit of a downer. But the Xbox gets that as it's my daily driver. PS5 got a different input. I suppose you could get a splitter if it could handle it but PS5 hasn't fully unlocked 4k/120 yet anyway. That's a bridge to cross later on.
All said and done I really like the tv. And it actually made my wife say she noticed a difference from our other Samsung 4k non QLED. Which is really saying something because she's always telling me she can't notice a difference.

Last good price on a 75" qn90a I saw was $2199 months back on the Samsung EPP site. Are we to expect super bowl deals soon to hit new lows around $2k or is the shortage and inflation on everything making it different this year?
Thanks

The QN85A will most likely have its biggest discount in November, when stores become desperate to clear-out older TV models to make room for the current TV models that will be on sale for Black Friday.
In November 2021, the 75" Q8DT was selling for $999.97 at my local Costco. So I am predicting that in November 2022, the 75" QN85DA will go down to $999.97 at my local Costco.
My projector is dying and the projector market has really not advanced much. My screen isn't that huge so would not be a big difference in size with an oled.
The "newer" A series, with ADS panels (otherwise known as IPS) have pretty bad contrast it seems.
RTINGS.com has a pretty favorable review of this. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews...-q80t-qled
