After weeks of research and deal seeking on a low-priced 65" TV, I ended up buying this. Unique set of pros and cons depending on your requirements.

Pros:
- Sony X1 Processing is way better than other cheap TVs which makes a huge difference for some content. Excellent upscaling for cable, YouTube etc., good motion interp, etc.
- Latest Sony software implementation with Google TV (fewer glitches and bugs usually than other brands) with updates expected for years to come
- Sony build quality (most reliable brand per Consumer Reports, and fewer unit-level QC issues)
- Much wider viewing angles than almost any non-OLED TV due to IPS panel
- Next gen ATSC tuner built in
- Excellent colors compared to most cheap TVs
- Includes 3 year warranty extended to 5 if using Costco Citi card

Cons:
- Poor contrast ratio (bad TV for dark rooms)
- Poor-ish HDR
- Poor-ish max brightness
- 60hz refresh rate

If you want an IPS panel like this (wide viewing angles, decent color, inexpensive), then just get the 65" Hisense A65H (A6H) which just went on sale for $399.99 at Costco right now. The 55" is also on sale for $269.99.

Same warranty length and virtually the same performance. The SONY might be a tad brighter, but it's double the price and the scores in all categories on rtings are almost identical between these TV's.

The lowest acceptable Sony model is X90K, anything else just go with other brands.
dangit 60hz refresh rate :/ Otherwise I would have jumped on it!

Quote from AssDan :
IPS is bad for almost every room. Viewing angle doesn't matter if it looks like ass from every angle.
And it seems like just yesterday everyone wanted IPS panels because VA panels were bad...
