Is this TV better than the Sammy Q80? I'm a sports, movie and TV watcher. Not a gamer.

On paper I'd say so. You could always PM at Best Buy and if it doesn't work out then return within the 30 day window.

About the same as the Costco price (warranty included) by the time you add an extended warranty.

I really love Sony TV's personally. You can go to rtings.com for side by side or look at reddit home theater section on why they tend to avoid Samsung

Don't ask Best Buy to price match. I did this on another TV. I opened a chat before placing my purchase and the agent said they would price match - and that I would need to place the order then they would adjust in 48 hours.

Turns out - they declined the price match. Never notified me. I had to call and ask about it. I am also a Total Tech member.

I have the Sony x90j in a 55" and a 65" Samsung Q90. Both are nice sets and I don't have any complaints with either. I game (have kids who game too) so both have PS5s connected. I explicitly bought the x90j to pair with a PS5 (2.1 HDMI) Both perform really well for gaming, but you said you don't game. Sports and movies for you. Soooo...

The key difference between the sammy and Sony will be brightness. The Samsung is noticeably brighter. That gives it more "pop". The grass fields will be a brighter green. The colors in movies will be more pronounced. If you like brighter colors and more pop then the samsung is for you. If too bright a TV isn't your thing then the go with the Sony x90. Both TVs perform really well and as overly simplistic as it may seem, the brightness is the most notable difference.

Sony's the king of sports!
Especially there 90/900 models

I have followed every tv model ever made in the past 6 years and I have held the argument that the 90/900 tvs are the very best starting with the 900e for everything but gaming and 900f for everything but extreme competitive gaming

And I want to say rtings scores are totally skewed because focus WAY to much on reflections!

they do all there testing in a bright light lit warehouse, people watch tv during the evening and without direct lights on there screen and there's even some benefit in clarity when screen ISN'T extreme antireflective...

Costco only price matches their own prices. So if you see they are selling cheaper than what you paid, you can get a price match within 30 days, but they won't match another retailer like Amazon.

Costco only matches their own price drops.

What brightness settings are you using? The Sony x90j gets just as bright as my 80T.

For the original questions poster:
I have the 2020 version with the VA panel, not the 2021 with the ADS panel. The ADS panel, esp. when I viewed it in multiple stores, is not as good. I like the Google/Android interface for being a lot closer to stock android and a better app selection. You can even sideload apps. For me, the panel seals the deal for regular TV watching. Now, with the new panel, you need to get a Q85 to get closest..and there is obviously a vast cost difference. If you could score an 85 for less, it would probably be a lot closer.

Gaming makes an impact on my opinion as the Samsung is far superior for gaming support, but since that is not the case, it's the Sony for regular watching.

As much as I love Rtings.com and other critically minded channels you need real owners opinions. I have the 75" of the x90j and we love it. We got the cleanest panel I could've hoped for. Just a great tv.
