$1299.99
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.

You are very future proof. It has ATSC 3.0 which can receive programs with 4K, HDR, dobly atmos over the air.
Local dimming is the main spec that's supposed to make the x90 an upgrade over the x85.
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.
