65" LCD Suggestions

I believe you set is an LED not LCD as LCD were discontinued years ago.

Still, true LED screens have not yet made it to consumer TV sets. What manufacturers call LED-TV-s are still LCD technology.

Recently they have come out with LED back lit LCDs, but with the exception of LG OLED any TV currently manufacturered in 2016 is a LCD

The SONY is not the TV that used to be made in Rancho Bernardo, CA.....the Sony is made from Chinese parts in a chinese factory...designed by the Chinese......pure, A quality CRAP......

I realize Sony is made in chicom, but, they are the "Apple" of tv's, not a pos like the viz.

Thanks for the help. I found a Sony XBR-65X850D for $1400. It was an open box but seemed like a decent price.

Buy this Sony, you will love it!

European models are manufactured in Europe.
Although, taking Apple as a prime example, it is also possible to produce quality in China.

Many of the major AV, Home Theater, and review websites, would beg to differ with you. The consensus I get from most is that Sony is sometimes better but rarely justified by their price. 10-15 years ago, I would disagree with you, but Korea and China have not only caught up to but in most places passed Japan.

In my personal experience with the recent 4k TVs. I really think the PQ of the Sony's are leagues above the Samsung's. Personal preference but I am continually blown away every time I go to my friends house to watch his TV.

My Samsung seems to be a muddy grainy mess in contrast.

LG OLED smokes them both though.

They all need calibration, though. LCD panels seem to be set way too blue out of the box. That's how mine looked:

I bought a Visio based on the cnet positive reviews. I'm quite happy with it.
They are all good sets. If I was doing it again I might go with lg or Sammy.

I would of waited a month till the UN65KS8000 drops again. ITs one of the best testing samsungs out there. Just look at the reviews for the sony you bought in comparison...
The way the prices are going by november i expect the samsung to be 1500 (1999) right now.
I owned the previous years 8500 model this is the 2016 model of that tv. It was an amazing tv but i returned it for the 2016 models for 500$ cheaper by november (last year when i bought one).

I probably would've gone with the Samsung UN65JU7100. Enjoy your Sony though.

The Sony looked better than the Samsung from my own comparisons, both nice TVs though
