If you have the Costco credit card, this warranty becomes 7 years

Neither of those statements are true. Only thing the C1 has going for it is VRR. The 77" panel of the A80J Is an evo panel that's unlocked so it's brighter than the 55" or 65" models. The 77" C1 is evo supposedly but software locked.

The sony also just beats out LG for image quality so not sure what you mean. Side by side screens really show how crushed LG is compared and upscaling is also much better as well as calibration out of the box.

I'm logged in and the seller and shipper are both Amazon.com but the only options I have with my Amazon prime store card are the 12 no interests monthly payments or the 5% back.

I've been eyeing the A80J 77" and it's a pretty good deal for $2608. If anyone is willing to share a screenshot where it says 10% off? I'm hoping I can use that to chat with Amazon support so they can honor it. Thanks in advanced.
I am using the Amazon app. Had to go to other sellers and find Amazon seller and add it to cart, then click on it and it shows the 10% back.

If you are buying from Costco, it makes sense to upgrade your membership. This purchase pays for upgrade cost and more.

I was on the fence between this TV and a TCL (bang for your buck or high end) and ended up biting the bullet a few months ago when it was $2800 on Amazon. Best decision I've made for a purchase in a while. At this price, do it, don't think. It is absolutely beautiful, in another league from non OLED recent Sony's and older LG OLEDs (which are my basis of comparison), with shockingly good sound from a TV as well. A soundbar is obviously better, but it is surprisingly capable in that department. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but my PS4 looks incredible on it and I'm sure a PS5 is next level whenever I end up getting one. Google TV is also phenomenal, especially with how well it integrates if you already have a household in the Google ecosystem. The only downside is when connected to a Vizio soundbar it has connection issues sometimes that require me to unplug and plug back in the soundbar - not a huge issue but still annoying. I didn't have that issue on my old TV so it is related to the TV. In summary, buy it, don't think. You, and everyone in your household will thank you.

Did you end up going with any extended warranty or do you have any concerns w/burn in ?

on your Vizio soundbar - I had similar issues with one I got last fall. It turns out there is updated firmware that can be installed via USB drive which has made a huge difference. May be worth checking it out!

I did not end up purchasing the warranty. I get an extra year through my credit card and throughout my life I have never had an issue with a TV. Maybe it's luck, or that I typically go with nicer models, but I have never had an issue. Even my 12 year old Sony in my home gym has never once had an issue, nor my 3 year old LG OLED, my 5 year old TCL, or my 2 year old non OLED Sony. There are so many burn in protections for this TV that are built in that I really am not concerned. I also have it shutoff after an hour of inactivity as an extra precaution.

Thanks for the soundbar tip! I actually did do that and even replaced the HDMI cable with a new HDMI 2.1 cable but it still happens unfortunately. It's only about once every week or two so not a big deal.

I'm happy with my 55 inch. Great TV. It does turn on by itself sometimes. Very weird.

c1 is brighter and better quality vs this, waiting for a 77" c1 under 2200$ (not LG member site)
The Sony is brighter. The LG has better viewing angles and handles reflections better.

do they give courtesy credit on the phone for the price change? I think the return window is in 5 days...
Your Mileage May Vary.

They don't do it per policy. But there's flexibility (and more with supervisor approval).

But I've found the phone support to be more responsive than chat since they can't multi-task and they want you off the line.

Man, if I had the Amazon credit card I'd probably jump at this offer. But I don't and not going to apply for a card just for this.

If Costco would shave another $100 or $200 off I'd go ahead and bite the bullet.

I added to cart and don't see any discount at all. I have the Amazon prime card as default payment and Amazon as seller. No further discount at all. Please help.

I'm pretty sure the Bravia Core credits and streaming are the same regardless of where you buy

Still watching the deals on the 77" version. Been sitting at $2898 since last week and it appears BB will keep it there until 2/13 per signage in store.

My issue is still whether I need to go for the extended warranty and which version is best. BestBuy's Geeksquad for 5 yrs is $625 - but covers accidental burn in and seems to be the least hassle (Assuming BB exists).

Costco's warranty being included in the price for the Allstate/Squaretrade is appealing but does not cover burn in. Amazon's Asurion warranty doesn't say either way but appears to not based on reviews / feedback on the plan details - at a cost of $189 I assume it doesn't.

This is by far the most expensive TV I'd be buying and maybe I'm overthinking the warranty... the internet has me freaked about screen burn in on these things! Anyone else struggling with this or am I just paranoid!
On the burn-in front, I can't speak for Sony, but LG is doing the right thing. For the last few years, LG has unofficially been offering a one time free panel replacement within four years or purchase (go check avsforums, reddit, etc. for details). I'm literally getting my 65C7 bought in Jan 2018 done this week. Overall my TV is at 14K hours and while burn in is present, I only really notice it on slides designed to highlight it. Obviously there's a risk that LG will cancel this perk, but them treating me well with my 65C7 is why I'm likely buying a 77C1 before the Superbowl.
