I bought the x900f (65 inch) two weeks ago from deal that was posted on slickdeals (paid $1299+ tax).

Mine was perfect, easy to set up and looks awesome. My friend didn't want to deal with online retailers and went out and bought the same model from best buy and got them to deliver and set up. They are happy with it also.

FYI there was an article the other day that one reason tvs are so cheap now is that they sell them at cost and make money off your data.

I do, but I have it at only 55 inches. I went in intending to buy a Sony 65 lower model but when I saw the 900F, I chose a smaller screen for the vivid colors.
But you know what? Getting or not geting the 900F totally depends on the screen size. For the stuff I watch, such as sitcoms (and non-action movies, and I do no gaming), the 900F doesn't "shine"/"stand out" as much as it did in the store.

To the Op, when I was trying to upgrade my TV and spending more then $1k, I think I read that pre-Superbowl is also a great time to buy TVs (after Black Friday)

Wait!!! Just on Black Friday,the best deal was either $1200 or $1300 for the 55 inch! What a difference a few months make. I could have totally waited for the 65.

Nice buy.
BestBuy now has it for $1600 (they are saying it's a discount from $2k)

Yeah he paid the $1600 price from best buy as well, they wouldn't match buydig. It was worth it for him to pay more to get it from there which make sense

I've had this one on my radar for quite some time now, but have hesitated because a lot of the reviews said that it makes a popping/clicking noise after a while and that the remote sucks. Have you experienced any noises from the set?

Does anyone want to make a recommendation for me? We don't watch sports or play video games. We currently have a 9 year old 32 inch vizio and fire stick. We'd like to get something a little bigger

What's your budget and size?

OP here. We ended up with a TCL for $600. So far, so good and it has a lot of bells and whistles, plus Roku is built in as the operating system.

But I didn’t realize you have to pay an upgrade fee for high definition content in Netflix. Argh! No way.

Vizio is actually not a bad brand. We saw a 55 inch Vizio at walmart this weekend for like $398

Isn't it just like $3 more per month? Totally worth it.

It’s $5/month. Tell me more - why do you think it’s worth it? There’s some 4K/HDR content included with Amazon Prime and it doesn’t look that different to me.
