Seems like a much better deal than the TU7000 from Walmart or Best Buy. Same price but with a 5y warranty (instead of 1), a very slightly bigger screen, better viewing angles (IPS panel), 120hz, 4 HDMI ports (instead of 2), HDMI 2.1.
The sale for this was originally slated for the 14th at $1100, according to their Black Friday catalog. I guess they decided to let it go live early & reduced the price!
Edit: I am a little confused why their thumbnail says 2 HDMI when it has 4. I looked up the manuals online on LG's website though and it says 4 in total, 2 x 2.0 & 2 x 2.1.
Edit2: Apparently IPS, 120hz, VRR, & 2 extra HDMI ports (2.1) are unique to the 86" model. Anything smaller is a VA panel, has 2 HDMI ports, only 2.0, no VRR, & 60hz.
Edit3: My pa-in-law mounted it in his living room & has been using it for a few days and is absolutely in love with it. Merry early Christmas, Dale
Edit: Never mind....
From rting
"The LG UQ80 is okay for most uses. It's good for use in rooms with a few lights around while watching TV shows or using it as a PC monitor as it has decent reflection handling, but it doesn't get bright enough to fight a ton of glare. It's also decent for watching sports thanks to its wide viewing angle, but its motion handling isn't special, as there's image duplication. Unfortunately, it's mediocre for watching movies in dark rooms as blacks look gray, and the TV lacks a local dimming feature to further improve the contrast."

TV Reviews says 60Hz Native
(https://tvreviews.net/lg-uq8000/)
Can anyone confirm either? Might bite if 120Hz.

I looked at the manual and checked out rtings and apparently IPS (not VA), 120hz, VRR, & an extra 2 HDMI ports (both 2.1) are unique to the 86" model.
