I'm currently going through the repair/replacement process with Visions on a 65KS8000. Any suggestions what to go with if I need to replace it? Thinking the Q80T seems like it might be decent. Either that or pay up for a SONY OLED. Hopefully the blacks(on the Q80T) are as dark as the KS8000 was. It was a great tv...until the bleed out started happening from the bottom of the screen.
[Visions] Samsung 65" Q80T (2020) QLED at $1998

So as an aside, I did buy the Q80T for $1899 plus tax @ the Brick. Expecting delivery next Friday.
As for the Q90R soundbar, just got off the phone with Bay Bloor Radio earlier this afternoon and it sounds like the Q900T at least is going to be a) more expensive at $1699, and b) not include the rear speakers as those will be limited to the Q950T model now which will retail for $2199. The MSRP on the Q90R has apparently dropped down to $1299 now but he said good luck finding them in stock.
I have a hard time believing they’ll be able to capture Atmos feeling without any physical speakers located at the rear/sides to physically project noise accordingly so in all aspects, the Q900T seems to slot in “below” the Q90R in terms of value at a higher price point IMO.
Time to find me the Q90R to go with my set and be content.

Stopped in at my local Visions (Whitby), they were out of stock on the Q80T and said it would take almost a month to get one should I order it. The sales guy proceeded to offer me the 65'' Q90T for $2500. I didnt want to wait a month so I picked up the Q90T for the $2500.

I have last years model and while it’s not oled, the Black levels are outstanding on this television, the upcoming is great and it games extremely well. My only regret was not getting the 75”

I hope Costco will get the Q80R or Q90T sometime. Been looking for those TVs for a while.

The one on 32 Ave ne. I don’t remember the guys name but he said he was the manager so can give good deal. The 55” I think he offered about $150 off the sale price.RisingLight wrote: ↑ Do you mind mentioning or PMing me which Visions location?

Yeah Whitby location offered me same price for that model as well but they had none in stock and said it could take up to a month to get it in. I was a bit impatient and the 500$ off on the Q90T made the upgrade worth it.

I'm seeing $2298 online. is it realistic to go in and ask them to sell this tv to me for $1799? I don't want to have to spend all day negotiating but 1799 is a sweet deal.
