Right now what is the best bang for your buck. We were looking at the Samsung Q90 and Samsung Frame. I’m not necessarily opposed to another brand I’ve just heard Samsung has been the best from some people. It would mainly be used for streaming and gaming hoping to get a PS5 as soon as you are able to get one at the store.

rtings.com is your friend.

I'd recommend setting your eyes on Vizio P-Series Quantum X in person. It might not be quite to the level of the Q90 but it isn't far off and a much better value.

The biggest issue with samsung is the lack of dolby vision. Is that a big deal? Not for most people.

I'm in the same boat as you, shopping around for a 75" TV for PS5.

Don't get the Frame, it's not a great TV. You're paying for looks.

For PS5 if you want to be somewhat future proof, you want to make sure the TV has HDMI 2.1. The Samsung Q80/90, Sony X900H, LG BX/CX, and the above mentioned Vizio are the TVs you should be looking at depending on your budget. After going to look at them in person, I personally have narrowed it down to either the 75" Q80/90 or the 77" LG CX.

The LG CX is going to have the better picture overall but doesn't perform well in bright rooms and there is the concern of burn in. Best Buy is the only company offering a warranty that covers burn in. Their 5 year warranty is $750 for the 77". If you're looking to have it professionally installed, you can sign up for their tech support which will give you a discount on the installation and 20% off the warranty.

I was told by two salesmen that Sony, which makes the PS5, had the 65-inch Sony 900H in mind when they designed both items. The 900 was as low as $969 at Best Buy and Costco for Black Friday and are back up to $1369 now. But I suspect they will drop again after Christmas or for Super Bowl Sunday.

I’m in the same boat, I’m waiting for the sony 900 drops. Some of the best ratings i’ve seen in that price range. Guy at best buy said Christmas sales are better than black friday..we’ll see.

If you are buying an LG based on tests run out there, I would not be concerned about burn in. Unless you a person to leave your TV on a specific channel everyday for thousands of hours.

Best buy's return policy is 14 days i believe. You won't get burn in by 14 days.

I was in your boat this summer. I went with the 75" Q90 and couldn't be happier. I had my mind made up on paper to go with the LG because of the great reviews, but I went to look at them in Best Buy and the screen was super reflective. My living room has a ton of windows and it would have been a nightmare.

My neighbor has a 55" frame and it is cool but not nearly as good as the Q90. It's more for looks and very modern but can't compete on video specs.

Same here. I went with the Q90 primarily to the highest ratings in that size for sports viewing. It had slightly higher ratings than the Q80 for $400 more.

900h is a beast. I bought the 85 inch a few weeks ago and love it.

got my q90 from ebay. came out to be the same price as the 80 including free shipping. took about 1.5 weeks to get here via freight. the guys took it out of the box and plugged it in to make sure it worked then they put it in my office and moved my old tv downstairs.

There are deals out there for sure. just need to find them.

If it's for a PS5 make sure it has a hdmi 2.1 port or that playstation is as good as the playstation 4.

I got the 65 inch LG CX and love it. Go to Costco where they pay for 3 year extended warranty which is on top of 5 years you already get

If I recall correctly the Frame is nowhere near the TV that the Q90 is.

Onn (walmart brand) software is great, but their hardware sucks. I've already replaced one
