There are ton of threads on this comparison here but my situation has a few hitches that I complicate the choice.
Situation is a relatively small room - depending on where I sit, I'm between 6.5 to 8 ft from TV. TV is right opposite a big window but I'm rarely there during the day. I currently have a 60" Samsung LCD which needs to be replaced. I mostly watch movies and streaming TV and a lot of CNN. I don't game much and I rarely watch more than an hour or two in a single day. I have a 5.1 system in the room so the sound quality of the set does not matter.
I'm a Costco member so I purchase a 65" LG CX. The deal comes with a 90 day return policy, Costco covers the second year of a warranty and then I get three additional years of warranty coverage via allstate (squaretrade). The warranty does cover burn-in (I checked!). It does not get delivered until the 24th, so I have still been looking at other sets in the meantime.
Because I'm a educator, I get a 10% discount on Samsung TVs. Bestbuy will honor that discount so I also purchased a Q90T which I have not take delivery on. Its 75" and cost only $300 more than the 65" LG. Standard 1-yr warranty and 15 day return policy. So, it doesn't have all the Costco goodies. I have to admit that I don't worry too much about extended warranties though because I've had four Samsungs and not a peep of trouble with any.
I have read basically every thread on the LG OLEDs on this site, and most of the comparison reviews related to the Q90T. I've also spent hours looking at each set (to my eye, both have gorgeous pictures). I am not sure which way to go though, especially since the screen sizes are not identical.
Could any of you smart folk please chime in?
Thank you!
