Damn. That Frame TV is enticing! Dammit Nismo! I like gimmicky gadgets like that!
Sony XBR65X950G on sale. This is the best HDR TV outside of Vizio (it's about 1/2 as bright).

$1700. Well, $1900 plus you get a $190 gift card. Lowest price I've seen on this guy. Looks like a 1 day only sale.

Ooh thanks for that. Need to source a membership from my folks if going that route. I also think I have a gift card for Costco from booking travel earlier.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
How does that one compare to one of these;

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/13407276
Was debating between one of these also technically since I need 2 (not necessarily right away), I thought I could get one of each but Samsung seems like a better buy since it QLED.
was thinking about the 55" one, but looks like its sold out. Bestbuy still have both sizes available and similar gift card deal, but costco warranty is cheaper.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Me Lazy, need 42" dumb TV from an old-school brand for an old school senior citizen. No 4k, HDR or anything else required. Literally upgrading from a tube TV that he'd still be using if it still worked.

Just buy anything cheap and get a warranty for it. Time warranty to last as long as senior.

I hear costco warranty lasts as long as you have the balls to bring it in. Sounds like a plan.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Really, need to know what you're using these TV's for. If you're using them in a large room where people are viewing from all sorts of angles, you'd probably want to get an OLED for viewing angle. If everyone is sitting around mostly dead on, then go with the X950G. If you have a really bright room without the ability to control light, or you want the best HDR experience possible, get the Vizio's. If you DGAF about how shit looks anyways and want the best aesthetics, get that frame TV.
Don't get suckered by marketing. QLED is just a fancy term to think you're getting an OLED TV at LED prices.
Anyways, need to understand your use case if you want a solid recommendation. There is no perfect TV for every use case.

It also depends on what you care about. Chasing TV nerd specs will hit diminishing returns pretty quick if picture isn’t something you are super picky on.
Me, contrast and banding really bothers me.

I am tempted now, but I really want a 75 which is like double the price. Fuk
I saw that Best Buy deal actually ok my way there now to look at a few TV’s.
So for TV1, it’ll be a living room TV on the main floor with kitchen around, dining area and living room etc. Lots of windows in this area but of course there’ll be blinds eventually. This one will likely get the most use as the wife and I are hanging around that area and she’s cooking etc after work. So just regular day to day use, regular movies and programming.
Tv2 will be in bonus room and although I am not sure yet I met end up booking the ps4 to this one. If I don’t hook it up to the 160” projection screen in the basement. Other than that also lots of windows but will have blinds. Regular use once again, movies, Tv etc nothing out of the ordinary. Just something decent that’s works and doesn’t give trouble.
Do you look at the TV fairly straight on from the kitchen or will this be a more extreme angle that you would be viewing at?
Lots of windows, even with blinds (unless they're blackout) you'll still have a shit ton of light. You want a bright TV.
I have 12 windows in my main TV area with blinds, and looking to move to a smaller size Vizio because of light. The key is the 1st point, if you're watching extreme angles, because that's where the Vizio is weak.
I would go with the Vizio Quantum X for TV2, seeing as you're contemplating video games, that'll be straight on, and bright as hell.
For TV1, it sounds like there's lots of areas where you'll be viewing the TV from (assuming big angles), I'd hope into an OLED.

Costco has a pretty sick deal on the Sony X950G 75”:
https://www.costco.ca/sony-bravia-xb...100416924.html
2800 plus a 280 gift card so 2660 all in including tax. Doubt it will go lower than this even on Black Friday.
^900F only, 950G is the deal for 65"
Ahh my bad. Had way too many tabs open on my phone and got mixed up. I initially thought that was too good to be true...would have been a steal of a dealThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Picked up one out of the two TV's.
Went to Best Buy and they had the Sony 900F and 950G side by side and I stood there for a good 5-10 minutes and tried to notice in what way the 950G was better than 900F and I just could not!
Ended up getting the 900F in 65" (the size I want to do for my purpose). Paid $1500 and got a 10% gift card ($150). It won't get put on for a while but looking forward to it when it does.
