If you're in the market for a budget mid-range TV, the 65" W95 is a great value proposition at $500.
The 75" U75N is a great value for a 75" mini-led at $800. The only caveat is the 75" model uses a ADS-Pro (IPS?) panel, that is slightly worse in contrast than the 65" model with a VA panel that was tested. I've seen youtube reviews specifically for 75" U7N, and it was still reviewed favorably. I don't think most people will notice a significant difference, but if you do, then there are nicer TVs like the U8N or mid level OLEDS like the LG C4.
The 65" U75N at costco is not discounted, and remains at $700. So for a 65" I would consider the Panasonic a better value at $500. For a 75" TV the hisense is hard to beat at $800.

After the recent TV update, I get random reboots when using different apps on the TV
I completely reset the TV and so far it hasn't given me the TV OS restart issues, but i'll have to binge watch a bunch of stuff before I can confirm.
This issue however started after the latest TV OS update.
Can I still exchange/return this unit at Costco and get a new one?

6 months ago? No, but your warranty will cover it.
C4 doesn't have any judder, but they do have studder.
So to clarify what I mean by the U7N having terrible motion handling as someone who's sensitive to high framerate:
While watching movie content, I'm reliant on motion smoothing technology (LG's TruMotion, Motionflow for Sony, Auto Motion Plus for Samsungs, etc) set to a high number. SOE be damned - I don't care. The distraction of the low hz/fps flipbook effect is way worse than the image artifacts that come with high motion smoothness settings for me. The U7N actually IS decent at smoothing out motion *when it works* but what makes it particularly egregious is that it would periodically (like every 10-20 seconds or so) lose its ability interpolate frames for a full second or two and the contrast between when it's working and suddenly not working exceptionally jarring. And this happens over and over and over again.
All TVs I've own that can do this (since the mid 2000s I can't recall exactly when it became popular) have moments where it cannot interpolate frames but for whatever reason, the U7N has much, much more of them. Especially in darker scenes in particular! To recreate the exactly what I'm talking about, stream Moana from where ever (disney plus has it) and fast forward to the scene where the grandma is showing Moana the hidden boats in that dark cave. The U7N is absolutely atrocious! smooooth, stutter stutter stutter, smoooooth, stutter stutter stutter, repeat.
Like I said, I tried multiple rokus (of different generations), an apple TV (recent 2024 model) and the onboard Disney app on the U7N TV itself - they all display the same behavior. I've scoured the web and endless forums, spent hours and hours playing with settings, I never could resolve it. Stream the exact same scene on my 2017 Sony 75X900E TV the Hisense U7N was was suppose to replace doesn't exhibit any of that terribleness.
Now if you're someone who never turns that motion smoothing on, then perhaps you won't really notice it. I'm guessing that's why there's plenty of threads about this TV where someone complained about it and tons replied they don't have that problem. Or, maybe my TV in particular was bad... but in my long experience of being a extremely picky buyer and decades of, some would say, "abusing return policies"... I've never had such a specific issue like this be isolated to one TV. It's almost always the case of, they're all like that but only some people will notice or even care.
Picture wise, I actually am a bit disappointed with the C4 coming from this U7N. It's not that the C4 isn't overall better, it' just isn't 'double the price better'. Again, I really wanted that U7N to work which is why i spent so much time trying to troubleshoot it.
