So many conflicting reviews online. I was looking at the Sony xbr850 but then I read about the lighting issues. Some people swear by the UN75JU7100.

All I care about is good picture to watch sports and Netflix. Any recommendations in the $2-3K range?

Buddy got a 70" 4K Vizio recently and the picture is nothing short of extremely crisp and brilliant.

Still don't know much about that brand but I envy his TV.

Out of those two I'd buy the Sony. The new models will be available in just a few weeks so you might be able to find a better deal and score a 940D in your price range.

You can get the 940d for 2800.

Nope. I can get them cheaper than that.

The 940d uses edge lighting, not multi-zone backlighting. I've compared it side by side with their multi-zone model and it is striking how much better it is than the 940d.

You mean the 850D uses edge lighting?

I don't buy TVs on the internet therefore I have no site to link.

Sorry, your post confused me. Which did you like better side by side? The 850 or 940?

So where do you find it for better than 2800?

The 850 uses an edge lit backlighting system which is inferior to direct LED backlighting in the 940 model. It's not a matter of opinion of which is better. The 940 has a better picture.

I work in the industry but it doesn't matter since I only deal with authorized dealers

There was a Samsung employee purchase link posted on here a few weeks ago. Those prices were really good. Might try to find that.
