Need a 65" for myself. Limited budget...
Lots of ambient light, limited budget...so OLED is out. Love the Z Sony panels but they blow up the budget and I don't think the quality would be that discernible except at night, due to the ambient light during the day. 4K distribution, sources currently will be Sony 4k UHD, Roku 4 (Netflix, Amazon, Vudu) and maybe eventually ATV 4k. Not sure if I'll do Cable TV in the near future, but it is available. Off air is a pipe dream (trees and mountains)
Opinions arguments between Sony 930/950 series (or maybe 830/850) and comparable LG. (Edge lit vs edge lit). Which series LG to compare to? 9500?, 8500? etc.
I don't care much about "smart" features built into the TV, just PQ vs PQ in relation to the cost of each model. It seems like the models are similar to each other...hell, maybe the panels are all made by LG? Is Sony's local dimming on edge lit panels any better than LG edge lit panels? I would see these differences at night, but the sunlight during the day would wash that out.

Get Sony.
The only good LG's are their OLEDs.

Sony for sure. I'd start at the 900 series and go up from there

Thanks everyone so far. Doesn't seem t be much different between the 800 and 900 series except for smart TV features? Panels, PQ pretty much the same? I've recently sold and installed an 85" 850 for a customer but have not actually hooked up any sources to evaluate the picture

900 is local dimming and a diff processor for better contrast
