Damn...that's pretty dope. $2k for an 82"

Looks to be same price at Costco too. I'd definitely get it through them instead since their warranty is cheaper as well.

100lbs - wow .... my 60" is 20lbs, but nowhere near as sophisticated

What I don't like about the RU8000's is that they've moved it from mid market to entry level compared to the MU8000 and NU8000 that it's based from just to hit that price point. The MU/NUs were much better TV's. The RU's wash out in any room with indirect sunlight.

I found almost all the TV's on sale this holiday season are bare bones entry level specs. Trying to shop 75" and up cheap for my brother has been a PITA.

Nobody is really making a terrible TV these days if you're shopping in the 75" range, and unless something has changed, most of the panels themselves come from a handful of factories.

You basically have TCL and Hisense on the low end (they are still pretty good), Vizio pretty well owns the mid range/high bang for the buck market (Sony's 800/900 series when on sale fit right in there too), and in the ultra high end market you have the LG/Sony OLEDs being the best and the top-end Samsung QLEDs right up there with them. The mid-range Samsungs are less attractive because of the Vizio stuff in the same price range.

Honestly just use the rtings comparison tool - here is their summary of the best 70-75" models:

And if you want to compare it to something else, use this tool:

They even have a recommendation tool to try and cater suggestions to your specific needs/environment:

Buying from Costco is a good idea because their $99 5 year warranty is by far the best you will find.

That's good to hear, I think for their usage I'll stick with a lower end model.

I'll take a look soon this week. Thanks for your help again!

If you want to give your tv a workout, 6 underground on Netflix is basically a 2 hour tv demo reel lol. Terrible movie but looks fantastic in Dolby Vision. Scenes are vivid in all sorts of colors to show off wide color gamut. Daylight scene highlights have sparks that pop on screen, and sunlight flickering through the pillars strobing at you like a camera flash.

Shakalakala or whatever was just talking about this comparison in a recent post. Check back a page or so.
I believe he concluded the F was better value.

Best Buy too.

[rx7boi]

For my next TV I definitely need something 80"+ for the living room.

[Buster]

Okay, I need a TV to connect to ym new gaming computer/VR setup in my VR room.

Maybe a 65" would be good? What's a good gaming 4k TV?

^ Buy the Vizio?

I find that gradients are super important with video games.

[rage2]

Vizio isn’t great at gradients. It’s not noticeable in movies but it is in games. It’s not terrible but it’s there.

[Buster]

what about this?

[rage2]

OLED is probably your best choice for video games as long as you take care of it properly to avoid any burn in.
