That's correct. Originally I paid 1898 plus, 398 5y warranty and managed to get down to 1850 plus 398. Also saved on a few other products. Still debating on keeping the warranty, it's quite expensive however price will go back to 1999 if I return the "package" warranty. Thoughts on visions warranty anyone? On a side note, I visited two locations near Toronto and I have to say, everyone I dealt with was super helpful, professional and very nice. This is my first purchase from visions and they were more than willing to work with me on pricing to make it happen. Even price matching at the 1999 or offering another option of beating it with warranty was very fair imo. They didn't push the warranty on me either, I asked. And they left it to me, even suggested paying the price match and if I wanted to add warranty within the return period, he would honour the additional discount. Now hopefully I don't require the warranty but I do, that will be the real test with visions. Hope their after sales service is as good as my sales experience. Also a note on the warranty with visions, if you don't use it, at the end of the term, you can redeem the full amount paid towards a product that's double the price of the warranty. So 400 warranty can credit on 800 product for 400 off. I looked into it online and you need to apply within a few months of the warranty expiring and it needs to be redeemed within one year after applying. So long as one remembers to apply 3-5 yrs from now depending on length of warranty, it's a nice way to recoup the cost. Hence why the sales representative reduced the cost of the tv further vs the warranty, so I could use that 389 credit in the future if it works out. They also offer price protection for 60 days vs 30 days and will price match black friday prices tho I don't expect to beat 1850.

I feel the decision would rest on your use of HDR. OLED can’t handle bright scenes with HDR very well. It dims as the overall brightness of the scene increases. It would also have slightly higher input lag for gaming.DavidA800 wrote: ↑ I was also able to get BB and teppermans to PM http://www.sonxplus.com/en/

Now just to decide 65x900e or 55 LG B7 also 1999 (pm @ CC HiFi and got BB to pm CC)
The 900e is bright and has virtually no motion blur. Perfect for games.
So, if you aren’t gaming and don’t mind a smaller TV, I’d get the OLED.

I was very happy with my TV... until I brought the 900e home for a test drive. Even while initially using the 900e, I thought it was an improvement, but not a worthwhile upgrade. Then I went back to my old TV and everything looked so dim and drab. I couldn’t unsee how great the images looked on the new TV. These new sets are so much brighter than even last years.
One other thing I want to mention, then prices on these Sony TVs will be going up at the end of the month. I was told that the MSRP is being lowered (e.g. the 55x900e is going from 2399 to 1999), but these current prices are strictly a sale price.
If you want a 900e, now is the time to strike. The prices are going up in a couple weeks.

I was able to get the 55" from best buy for $1369 + tax. My original bill showed $1599 - $230 discount and then a $200 charge for geek squad and $30 for the mount. Went back in asking to price match the sonxplus no tax deal and the manager said he'd just let me return the geek squad and mount since I wasn't using them. Ended up being slightly cheaper than no tax.

How did you get them to 1369 in the first place if you don't mind helping me out!Cheezewhiz wrote: ↑ I was able to get the 55" from best buy for $1369 + tax.

It's just the way they charged me in store - I didn't even notice until I got home because it added to the same final price. I assume the employee just wanted to make it look like an upsell.

Went into BB compared the two models PQ wise in a retail lit environment there is no competition (in my eyes all my questions are answered) and i assume it only gets better with lower light....

Walked away with the 55" x900e today for $1,680 after tax and the Sonoxplus price match. Took the manager and associate a few minutes to do the math and figure out what the discount works out to be (as the store is located in Quebec and I am in Manitoba), but saved just under $160 so I'm happy (unfortunately they wouldn't throw in the wall mount for free).

Loser overall as blacks look like very dark greys on IPS and nobody sits on such an angle so its redundant.Hibbing wrote: ↑ Viewing angle refers to the angle at which you can watch the TV without seeing a noticeable drop in picture quality. Some types of LCDs do this better than others.
IPS TVs are a clear winner here. This is one of their advantages over other types of LCD. Most VA TVs will have a sizable degradation in quality by 20° to the side, the way it can be seen is a dramatic loss of saturation. IPS TVs will lose luminosity instead. They generally go until around 36° before losing half their brightness, but we have seen some go over 50°. The narrow viewing angle of VA type TVs is also problematic when the TV is used as a PC monitor from up close since the edges of the display will end up losing picture quality.
Winner: IPS

I have a question about the Sony 65" 900E and combining it with the new Apple TV 4K box. Is there any opinions if these are compatable and is there anyone that already has this combination? I am looking for reviews with this TV or maybe I should buy another make and model to go with the Apple 4K box.
Thanks
Thanks

A little bit off topic.
If the main source of video signal is a rogers pvr 1080i, and computer playing 720p my understanding is that the x900e has the best upslaler, better than vizio m or p series. It is correct?
About telecity Scarborough, some years ago, i've got a bravia from them, they were quite flexible about price and friendly, i just hope they are keeping the same level of customer satisfaction now.
I think of getting of new tv and i try to get as much info as possible before.

I'm looking to get one of these, but with the closure of South Van Colour TV, is there a good place in the Lower Mainland to get a deal anymore?
