Wouldn’t your tv have been covered even without the extended warranty? Costco usually provides the 2nd year coverage following the manufacturers 1 year warranty. Not saying you shouldn’t buy the extended warranty but in your case I don’t think it would’ve made a difference.Androidmarshmellow wrote: ↑ I both the a80h last year and it died after a year.

Thank goodness I bought the 5 year warranty. They refunded the price and the $100 warranty.
Make sure to get warranty if you’re thinking of buying this TV
I was in a Bestbuy last night. Saw a A80J and C1 side by side. It could be the video source, or setting difference, but the A80J looks much brighter, thus more vivid in colour to the eye. I am a A1 owner. I never found my A1 to be much better than my 2016 entry level 4K Samsung LCD TV, except when you purposely play 4K demo videos, like the “black background with yellow honey in front” video that LG often use. This makes me wonder should we really trust online reviews solely, or is it more important to actually go to a store and see in person. I still love my A1, as it is nothing short of. But I would definitely give Sony or any other brand a more serious consideration in the future.Tennoh wrote: ↑ If US reports are to be believed, specifically the 77" A80J will have the biggest price decrease within the next few weeks. Its already on sale there for $2400 USD. I figure I'm going to wait it out, most likely around Superbowl for this to be seen in here. I've already bought this for $4000 from Costco and will have it price adjusted if true.
I choose Sony A80J over C1 because I'm only a casual gamer and the media content I play is primarily 1080p. The upscaler is quite a bit better than LG, with general 4k playback is better OOTB even though I have my own calibration meter.
That’s the argument I made to get the extended warranty fee refunded . I would still buy the 5 years to have a peace in mindvader_slri wrote: ↑ Wouldn’t your tv have been covered even without the extended warranty?

FYI... i bought the Sony for $2177 @ Visions end of Nov. Would not call this "cheapest ever"saavyseeker wrote: ↑Sony is cheapest ever and C1 is back to usual sale price

I understand that but want as many future proof options as possible. Sony's track record for adding features to TV's via firmware updates is spotty at best. The PS5 has been a work in process since launch and is still behind the PS4 in certain UI and QoL features. I expect VRR will come to the PS5 eventually but their TV's.... eh not as convinced even though it's been promised.
