Best buy dropped the price a hundred bucks to $1,299.99, I've been looking for an affordable 120Hz/VA panel 75" set for awhile and while there are a lot of options they all seem to have some sort of compromise or weakness at this time.
This Sony has decent enough brightness and color accuracy despite being an old fashioned direct lit set. Processing is top notch and I haven't noticed any software problems after a limited day of setup. Good compatibility for PS5 after being updated. If anything the contrast is the weak point compared to better sets, but to me it's just good enough to not be bothersome. While the native contrast of the panel itself is only ok... the processing quality pushes it up above other sets that have better panels (ideally) but worse processing.
Honestly I think the TCL R646 has the capability to have a better picture if you can get a good one, but dealing with the panel lottery and TBD software was too much hassle for me. Anything clearly better costs a few hundred more and that gets too close to oled pricing imho. Never ending room to argue but I think this is a decent choice for the price.
FYI Costco also dropped the 60Hz x81ch set to $949 if want something a little lower end.

Unless you mean would I buy a 2k tv. Yes I would if the deal was right and it was around this size. I don't see many options in between the sony x90J and x91 before jumping up to OLED which is still hard to get for less than 2700 without being refurbished.

I received only minor resistance (beyond the obvious 'why do we need a bigger tv' question) on upgrading from my current 65" Samsung MU8000 to a 75". I much prefer the local dimming on the X90 over the X80/X85, and there has already been some eyebrow raising from a cost perspective. So I'm not pushing any harder for bigger via the 85" or higher end via X95 or OLED. I'm gonna take my win and be happy with it

What kind of quality is their extended warranty?
But YIKES, Sony makes a thick TV. It's almost 3x as thick as Samsungs and LGs in the same price range.

Can confirm x91j 85" from them for $1999 was approved yesterday.
Man I missed it…I'm looking for X90J 75"
From the Keepa graph -
Wednesday, Jan 18, 2022 at 18:44 to Jan 20, 2022 at 3:08am it was the lowest price at $1379.99.
CCC can confirm as well.

Normally the local dimming would be enough to justify the price jump but in this case it isn't very good local dimming. It doesn't help usable contrast much, if at all, and adds blooming artifacts which are very annoying to some. Everyone is hung up on the 90 because local dimming should be big deal, when it is implemented well. In this case it doesn't seem to be.
Also I've learned in the past couple days my set doesn't like band steering setups, had to go in and make uniquely named 2.4 and 5ghz networks. Seems this is a common wifi software problem with Sony, took about 30 seconds to find a bunch of posts about it.
I use xfinity so I'm guessing this could be an issue for a lot of folks.
