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.

this only has 40 dimming zones on a giant 85in... WTF?!
- Sony 75in X940E has 256zones, shows how downgrade spiral this went
and this has the cheapest 4K HDR processor to work an 85in panel (not extreme, ultimate or XR)- double WTF?!

and doesn't have VRR so over-promise, under deliver- TRIPLE WTF!!

/PASS!!!!!

Does anyone know about the 2022 model line up or the successor of X91?

I don't want to start another OLED vs LED war, but I was really hoping Costco would drop the price of the OLED 77" model.
77" A1 is $2500 and the crazy blacks in dark is probably worth getting OLED if you watch a lot movies in the dark, but I'd probably go with Sony's OLED if it was on sale.

This is still a very good price.
I'm on the fence about the same thing. My brother has the 77" LG CX (2020) and 65" C9 (2019). I currently have an 82" Samsung NU8000 (2018 model). I got it at the time because my room was lit and I didn't want to sacrifice brightness for blacks. I do mostly gaming and some movies and having lower peak brightness makes finding collectibles and enemies in dark areas harder. Also, OLEDs were very expensive in 2018 (65" was $5k) and I picked up my tv for $1500 with promos, so it was a no-brainer.

I'm looking for an upgrade now, but I can't justify the $4-5k on the 83" OLED or the downgrade in size to 77" for $3k. My ideal upgrade is an 83" OLED (Sony or LG) for <$3500.

Toe was $1,999 last week when this was higher. Might be less now. But. My delivery guy was literally trying to haul by himself and rolling end over end from the street to my house and up the stairs. The most insane thing I've ever seen. I denied delivery. I'm definitely getting from Costco now.
Did he say "I sure wish they made these thangs round!" as he was struggling to get up your driveway?

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.
Be careful with the new VRR update on this set. Word is lots of people are experiencing VRR tearing and using VRR turns off all local dimming. Most complaints relate to the X900H but it would most likely be the same on the X91CJ since they are pretty much the same TV internally.

This TV does have HDMI 2.1 though which would make it a fair candidate for gaming no? If you're a dedicated full time gamer you would appreciate a C1 OLED more, but if you do casual gaming I think this TV would serve you well.

Off topic question but appreciate if someone can answer. Can any one who has this TV or any 4k TV with 2.x HDMI ports share if they are using newer HDMI cables? I am coming from Sony 690E and have 1.4 HDMI in wall and do not want to replace if not needed. I will not using this TV for connecting to video game consoles but only for audio receiver and Fire TV that can't be directly connected to ports like fire stick or Roku.

If upgraded HDMI cables are needed then I will also appreciate suggestions.

Is it worth an extra 1000 dollars though. Depends on who you ask. If it had Dolby vision and dts eArc I probably would've preferred the neo qled 85

$3500 for $83" seems about right but I think $1k or 50% difference would be sweet spot, $2k LED, $3k OLED, or Same price for different size 2k for LED 85" 2k for OLED 77"

I also bought this TV during BF time and love it, checking with costco if they can honor price adjustment... lets see
