Buy the 2023 CU7000 for $100 more if you need a Samsung brand. The TU690T is a made for Black Friday variant of the discontinued 2020 TU7000. Made for Black Friday electronics tend to have a shorter lifespan than the regularly sold model; hence, the $100 discount.
RTINGS.com review [rtings.com]: 6.8

Budget 85" - don't expect anything special. Probably fine for kids or general viewing. Serious viewing is probably a mistake. IMO if you're looking for a TV to watch movies on in a dark room at least get a model with local dimming.

Let's call a spade a spade here:

This is a HUGE TV for $800, and if size is all you are concerned with, get it. Just know that is where all the $$$ is going, this has very low picture quality, no good features, no bells and whistles.

But again, if all you care about is size, this thing prob can't be beat in price to size ratio.

Own this, if you can deal with 2 HDMI it has a great picture in a light controlled room. Better than CU7000 or 8000 in my opinion. Q60 model is at a great price in 85 now for next step up over this one.

I use this with a Roku stick and Klipsch 600 sound bar with subwoofer.

Yes it's for those who don't care for a great OLED type picture. The picture is fine for an everyday tv but not for those who need 3 or more HDMI, 120hz for sports, brightness in the day, etc

If you are planning to spend that kind of money for a TV that you want to keep for several years, I would skip this TV. A better investment would be on a TV that at least has Mini LED. There were some great deal during black Friday for Mini LED or QLED TVs, I think there was even a Sony with XR Clear that sold for a very good price.

If your main requirement is size, ie. want a really big TV, keep an eye on Hisense and TCL 90in - 100in deals.

Some people don't see a difference but in my opinion the other spec you should pay attention to is it being 120Hz instead of 60Hz. Samsung has great TVs but I would also recommend taking a look at the Sony TVs with XR Clear.

One of these days all the craze will be 120" to 150" and then after that in a couple decades: 200" to 300". lol.
Of course that will be the day when more people have imax sized ceilings in their own homes.

Good deal for the size and brand...maybe as good as the Hisense 85" $600 deal from costco previous weeks.

But agree with many people here... it may be better to wait & save up more another $500+ to $1000+ for something with a little more higher end features etc. Things to look for are higher motion eg. 120hz and higher nits brightness closer to 900 and above, miniled or oled, and the best possible black levels and contrast ratio in regards to hdr10+ and dolby vision.

It does have "Full Array Local Dimming" according to the specs listed. This u referring to?
