$899.99 is the lowest thus far for this 2024 120Hz model. The 2023 model was recently less, but it's 60Hz.
I don't understand the economics of this.

How is it even possible to sell an 85" for less than a grand? QLED no less... I understand it's no premium TV, but I just can't fathom it.

20 years ago I paid 4k for a 50" Plasma. This year I got a 77" Samsung for $1800. 5 months later I could get an 85" for literally HALF that. Crazy.

This is a good price but If you can wait I think the 85" can go lower. I've had my eye on those and I thought it was under $800 recently from Bestbuy but I can't find reference to it.

If you look at a TV its mostly plastic and a big sheet of glass/plastic with a bunch of electronics inside. Plastic is cheap. THe cost of electronics generally goes down over time.

Quick google, I found this page that gives an idea :
https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news...1685011590
Theres a chart in there that shows costs of making a 65" TV over time, projected. Looks like the actual material and production costs is like $300. Bet the actual cost to make a 85" is under $500. Note that page is about Samsung and TCL in China maybe even cheaper.
The other costs are indirect cost of sales and such for maybe $100. The other 'depreciation' cost is not really what I think is an actual real cost but the cost to recover their initial investment capital and production. So that figure is probably fungible.

My thoughts exactly. $699 Hisense is compelling, but 120hz vs 60hz makes another $200 a no-brainer.

I ordered the TCL 85-Inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart Mini LED TV with Google (85QM850G, 2023 Model) yesterday for $1499.

Is the Mini-LED version worth $600 more than this? Should I cancel and order this? Thanks in advance!

Hisense 100" is down to 1200 too but waiting for the sub 1000 as someone posted it went down that low.

Vincent at HDtvtest had a video on the panel production, selection and cost if you want to know more.

imo no... i think mini led ~= QLED the difference is this has no local dimming which is only useful in dark...

my $599 Hisense QLED 144hz also doesn't have local dimming but i really can't tell the difference between it vs a $799 U7 which has local dimming and is mini LED, so i returned the U7 and kept the $599 one.

The dimensions on this are weird. It says it's closer to a box shape than a rectangle that I'm used to. Does that affect the picture any? I know I'm thinking old school like when you would buy a movie full screen versus wide screen and full screen would cut off the edges of the picture to fit the most important in. Most stuff seems to be formatted now for the wider screens.

We ordered the Hisense - 85" Class A6 Series LED 4K UHD 85A6N for $700. Is this a much better TV and deal? Is this truly. 4k at 120hz? We look at a YouTube link for a 65 inch TLC and it was shown that it can do 120 hz at 1080p/1440 only.

Thanks,
