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.

Im holding out for a bit more of a discount on the x90j.
I have the 43" version of this, mainly because it's the only 43" 120Hz screen out there that I could find. I use it in my office for my Series S. It's a decent TV. I will caution that the Google TV built in is awful. Very slow and lots of picture quality issues with live streaming, especially sports. No hope for calibration to correct. However, I basically made the TV as dumb as possible and hooked up an Nvidia Shield, and I'm much happier. I don't know how I feel about the 75" at this price point, but I don't think you'll be disappointed with the picture quality overall.

Forgive me if this is too off topic, but would you recommend the Sony X85J or the Samsung QN85?

You are very future proof. It has ATSC 3.0 which can receive programs with 4K, HDR, dobly atmos over the air.

This is another reason why I chose the X90J 65" that I am getting today. My area has not been upgraded yet to the new standard, but it is on the list.

I don't pay much attention to the tuner but as far as I can tell the x85 has ATSC 3.0 as well, when the set software is up to date.

Local dimming is the main spec that's supposed to make the x90 an upgrade over the x85.

I am leaning towards the X85j 75 inch compared to the x90j for two reasons. The price and the viewing angle / clairity are neglible. I was able to see them side by side and couldn't notice the 4-500$ difference.

I can also say that my ru8000 Samsung from 2019 has gotten realllll slow in my time. Not to mention it always crashes and the apps all delete. That is the speakers stink.

Can anyone comment on if I need to move up from this? I am coming from a Vizio 2018 e 70". I am contemplating going to the X90 but will this be enough to blow me out of the water? I am a casual viewer and gamer. Mostly just for me and the lady to watch movies and me NFL games in Football season.

All of the X85 screen sizes dropped again on Amazon. I bought the 65" and a 50" and I love them.
75" is down to $1,198.

Do you think coming from a Vizio I'll be happy?
