Been waiting for a big ass TV to go on sale, for Xmas for my pa-in-law, and the time has finally come.

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

This one or an 85 qled/full array (about twice the price) for a dark room? I will use it mainly for watching movies.

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."

It's 86' for $1k. Tough to complain.

I really wish a store that didn't require a membership would offer something like this. It's exactly what I'm looking for - 80"+ with real 120 HZ refresh rate. It seems the "lower end" big TVs offered by places like Walmart are only 60 HZ.
Costco extended warranty with their visa is worth the membership price alone. Not to mention so many other benefits. Gasoline is also usually . 25 to . 35 cents less per gallon.

Stopping by a BJs in a few minutes to see it in person. Hate buying TVs without seeing first. Hopefully I'll like better than my 1080p 70" sharp from like 10 years ago! I suspect with that comparison I won't be too picky.

You won't find it worth the membership price come Jan 22nd - they are cancelling the extended warranty feature as of that date.

I took the plunge and got the Samsung BD80 75". QLED with full array for 1599. My current tv is a 2011 Samsung 50" plasma that refuses to die, think I deserve this upgrade Stick Out Tongue

I bought the 86" LG UP8770 for $1500 at Costco last fall. It was virtually the same as this one. It was fine, but I ended up selling it to a local bar owner to use in her establishment and getting an 83" C1 by making an offer for $3200. For sports, this monster will be just fine. For watching movies, it doesn't get that dark, and you will notice a lot of light bleed. You will be pleasantly surprised at how this TV handles motion. It also works great with streaming devices and for gaming due to the HDMI 2.1 ports, earc, and cec support. It has a lot features. I think this is a great deal. I wish I had a place for it.

I purchased a 75" LG last year. Didn't even last a year. Had to jump through hoops and go through a ton of hassle. Two months later I finally got a tech out to fix it. Might have been just my bad luck but I will not purchase another LG, just from the customer service aspect.

Quote from RKC007 :
That is for 65" VA version, 86" has IPA and 120hz these ratings does not apply for 86"
Actually... the 65" is also IPS. Only the 50" and 70" are VA. Check the review again.
However... this 120Hz 86" panel with the added gaming features and better motion handling should perform better for gaming and sports than the Rtings review suggests.

Just put in my order! It's a solid TV especially for the price. My only critique is that rtings lists the Native Contrast at 1,162 : 1 which is not great however they're variants with a different panel type that has a higher contrast. Can anyone confirm if the 86" variant has a higher contrast?

Only the 50" and 70" are VA panels (higher contrast). This 86" panel is IPS (lower contrast), but it's the only size with a 120Hz native refresh and the added gaming features with better motion handling. It should perform better for gaming and sports than the Rtings review suggests.

Thanks I just confirmed as well the 86" is IPS with lower contrast. It sucks but still a good value given the price.
