I bought this from Costco in November. Have been using it extensively since then. 70% movies/streaming apps, 30% NHL hockey games through Xfinity cable box. I use a Roku Ultra for all my apps; I never bother with TV apps as I generally find them inferior to anything Roku dishes out.

I was debating between this and a 77' OLED. I am glad I went with this TV. But I have a massive wall with plenty of space; honestly 85'' is still too small for my taste. It will buy me a few years until 100'' OLEDs are reasonable.

My thoughts on the TV: it depends on the quality of content you feed it. 4k whether streaming or UHD discs is amazing. I am incredibly pleased. Movies kick ass; picture quality is amazing. 1080p content is only OK. I don't think the upscaling is amazing. Broadcast TV is average, about the same as the 6-year old Samsung it replaced. I sit about 9.5 feet away, so maybe that's a function of larger TV and viewing distance. If you do a lot of broadcast TV you may find better; so many networks still broadcast in 720p (and even 1080) but I feel like the TV doesn't upscale that well.

If you mainly watch 4k content I think you will be incredibly pleased with the picture.

People on here and AVSforum will say this is the 900h and 900h has nothing but problems. The problems you read about are "blurry 4k/120hz". Do you plan to use it as PC monitor or next gen gaming console? If yes, you may care about that. If no, then it literally doesn't matter and you can ignore the noise. A few people make a lot of noise.

I have had exactly ZERO issues with eARC, 4k and Dolby Vision are amazing.

The Samsung QN90 is for sure a better TV with better picture quality. The QN85 may be as well. However the QN90 is significantly more expensive and Samsung's don't do Dolby Vision.

Consider your use case. If you want the best picture, get OLED. If you want a super bright LED and don't care about Dolby Vision or cost, get the QN90a, if you want a good value which thrives with good 4k content and don't care about PC monitor/next gen gaming, consider this TV.

Just replying because there are clearly a few haters/self described experts dropping harsh opinions on this TV.

1- It's massive. I came from a 75" and it's incredible how much larger the footprint is

2- Gaming feels flawless and beautiful

3- 4K content is absolutely beautiful. There's a scene near the beginning of Finding Demo when Marlin gets knocked out and the screen goes black. It goes really really black on this TV.

4- I've done absolutely no tweaks and I am really enjoying the TV

5- I also own a 65" Sony x950G and this one is just as beautiful as that one


I am NOT an expert. But I am looking for value. Meaning. I want a nice TV at this size without breaking the bank. At this price point and size I don't think there is a better option out there.

Also. I bought the Sanus Simplicity full motion mount from Costco to hang. Boxed well with each step packed separately. Website to go to that allows you to perfect where you want to hang and give you exact measurements. And after not initially understanding the hook where the TV hangs on the bracelet- once I figured that out to get it flush from left to right it's perfect and stable and I love that a TV this size can come out from the wall and be turned and tilt so easily. Highly recommend.

Good summary. I also went back and forth between multiple models. Made and cancelled 2 orders on samsung.com for the QN90A. As it seems like Dolby Vision is Bluray to HDR10+'s HD-DVD it is annoying a flagship TV would not include DV. Also the lack of DTS support on the Samsung is dumb.

One of the big differences I have noticed between the x91CJ and the A80CJ is the upconversion of non-4k content on the OLED. Standard Blurays looks almost indistinguishable from 4k UHD discs. Which is good since I have a collection of "old school" Blurays.

I found broadcast TV to be pretty impressive on both TVs. Maybe it is because Phoenix has quite a few 3.0 ATSC OTA signal channels available? Even as Slowrider5 said Fox is still in 720p on 3.0 signal the TVs do a pretty great job upconverting.

You forgot to mention which does a better job. Smilie

If it helps this is about as low as the television go. I was looking for last year's model around June and they were mostly sold out for $1999. They start clearing out tvs for the new models which will come out in a few months. I had two separate online orders that were refunded back to me last June from Slickdeals for this 85" tvs at $1999 including one directly from Sony and another one from another random company but everything was back ordered. If you're in the market for one and since this one still has great reviews then get it. Otherwise you'll be paying the extra $900 for the new tv with no deals.

I believe Amazon is the same price. Costco gives 3 extra years of warranty but Amazon is 5% off with the Amazon card. Tough call as I've never purchased an extended warranty of any kind and in hindsight that has almost always been the right answer.
If you have costco executive membership and costco citi credit card you are essentially getting 4% (2% + 2%) off. so the difference between buying on amazon could potentially be just 1% or $20. which might be worth the cost for extra 3 years of warranty

I was debating between this tv and the Samsung QN85a for $2800. Is the Samsung worth $800 more with no Dolby vision?

Watch some YouTube comparisons and decide for yourself. But probably not

Confirmed same offer. Decided the Costco deal is better in the long run given the reported CS issues with Verde Dedo

I bought a XJ85 for $2000 almost 5 months ago. Paired with a PS5 and AppleTV 4K.
This is definitely worth the price as the XJ91 features local dimming zones. Your going to see better contrast across any content.
Also note Sony added VRR to the set back in December. So it will pair nicely with any game console or PC.
