Sony for:
- Size
- Darker rooms
- Better sound
- PS5

Samsung for:
- Brighter rooms
- Need for viewing at wide angles
- Better UI
- XboxSX

Both are really good choices and I think it mostly comes down to the location you will put it in. Light in room, how far your seats are from the TV, what angle from the TV, etc.
I'm on the lookout for any deal on the 85".
Can you clarify why one is better for the PS5 and the other better for XboxSX?

Why this over a 65 lg c1 oled when they are about the same price?
I think some folks are still afraid of the burn in days of old. This is probably quite a bit brighter if that matters to you.

It's is called One connect...basically, instead of having to run multiple HDMI cables through the wall from your cabinet to your TV for multiple inputs, you have a single "one connect" wire from the back of your TV. That wire connects to the oneconnect box, which has all of your HDMI, optical, etc inputs.

It's a really nice system because you can change devices without having to ever get to the back of the TV, and you never have to pull another cable throught the wall. My previous Samsung JU7100 65" has it and I absolutely love it. With that being said, I couldn't justify the premium for the QN90 just to get the one connect...I'm going to pull 3 hdmis through the wall in case I ever need them, and problem solved.
Thank you very much for the explanation sounds nice indeed. I only use my xbox for multimedia and gaming so no big to me. Time to look around for some QN85s!

Talk Costco will have some soon so I'll hold and wait.

Yes, I was holding out as well, but couldn't any longer. Verdetoe accepted offer of $2900, tax and shipping included...equivalent of about $2600 anywhere with tax. I am happy.

Fingers crossed Costco brings back qn85 85

But my gut says they do. I think this is on purpose, they gonna bring it back after the other units sell and itl be on discount, and boom. Clearance

That's my hope and I'm waiting. 7 year warranty and 4 percent bsck from executive and credit card Costco will be worth the wait if it does come back at say 2600 for qn85 85 inch va panel

Doesn't it seem strange a user called "el verde" keeps posting about a reseller called "verde toe", come on now guys.

If you do learn about these resellers, a few months ago someone did buy from them and posted this:
"It's terrible - stay far, far away. I got a completely destroyed TV (75" Sony 950H) and they didn't help me get a penny back. It's not worth it at all."

Are you actually high? Slickdeals blocks posts referencing the actual name, which is why so many people on here refer to it as verdetoe. Translate that first word from Spanish to English and youll find what you're looking for with lots of extremely credible sources to back it up. My username is a coincidence based on my own last name.

And no, it is not a reseller. Only new products, and only sold by authorized dealers. I would 100% buy from Costco, best buy, etc, if their pricing was competitive at the moment. Haven't seen a sale on this tv for the couple of months I've been looking.

Yes the 85 inch 85a is a VA panel, so it's the best bang for buck compared to the 90a.
