    @rage2

    I'd love a 75" TV, but don't have the budget for a Sony 900F @ $4k. I found a retailer I could ship in a Vizio P75 for about $2,800 with shipping and duty all in. Slightly more than a Samsung NU8000 but has the features you have mentioned about the benefits of the Vizio, like full array and Dolby. Thoughts on that price?

    Biggest risk I see is trying to claim warranty issues buying from a US retailer.

    How are y'all transporting these 65"+ TV's without owning a truck?
    Everyone has a friend?
    I have no friends. Brother in law's company van delivered my 75.

    Took 3 weeks of black bin pickup to get rid of the styrofoam.

    Honestly, it'll be $3k for a PX65 as soon as it comes out. Add 60% for the PX75.
    Damn I was close. Off by $100!

    Haha I think we are actually very slightly cheaper than in US.

    $4900 is a damn hard pill to swallow though...

    $5K for such a small screen is nuts IMHO. Price will come down soon as it always does, Costco will eventually put it on sale.

    The 75" PX will drop to $3000-$3500 by May 2020. If I can get it for $3200 I'm a happy man. That puts it on the price low range for similar TV's at 75" (X900/950, Q90, etc).

    Yea I’m in no rush. 3500 would be a great deal for that TV.

    Tomb Raider in 4K HDR on the PQ65 is already epic.

    took a 10 year old sharp off the wall yesterday to paint the wall. Looks like the HDMI board is now toast.

    The 2019 PX review is out on rtings.

    https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vi...quantum-x-2019

    It's not that much brighter than the 2018 PQ's, even though Vizio rated it 50% brighter. In fact, the 2018's were brighter in some situations.

    Congratulations to every PQ owner that got it dirt cheap!

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Nothing wrong at all with a 'peasant' TV. Everything looks good if there is nothing beside it to compare to. The vast majority of people aren't getting full value out of their $3000++ TV's due to the environment they're used in anyway.

    It's hilarious how many avsforum'ers have these ridiculously expensive TV's with full on 4K HDR only to plug in their blu ray and a shitty movie in 1080p and bitch about SDE at 1ft viewing distance or similarly stupid.

    I think most people are using them like that. Or it's 2 feet down from the ceiling above a fireplace in a living room somewhere in the worst possible environment with a 20 foot viewing distance. Or, like you say, they buy the best then don't even feed them 4K/HDR content. I guess the average buyer is buying based off the best buy employee's recommendation which likely doesn't help the situation.

    Very few people are using these TVs in a dedicated theater environment at a proper viewing distance which is the only place you can realize the full value, and to continue sounding like a broken record, is also the environment where a projector would be better for most people anyway.

    The one thing the expensive TV's get you is really high brightness, which might be necessary for some rooms, but if your room is that bright you definitely aren't getting full value out of the TV.

    My favorite is when people take pictures of their TVs (or projector screens) and post on Avsforums to show things like sharpness, black levels, color accuracy, etc. and people are like "omg, ordering one now" - it literally tells us nothing.
