Just picked up a 86un8570aud from Sam’s Club for $999.91 ($1,165 / tax + 4 year warranty). This is the 2020 model of their LED TV. This is not a videophile TV but based on the human reviews around the internet this is a "omg let’s watch TV on my entire wall this is amazing" type TV at an incredibly reasonable price with positive reviews of other 2020 LGs at similar size ranges. Note that because it’s under $1,000, the Sam’s club 4 year extended warranty is $100.

Notable lacking: localized dimming, HDR+ (though Dolby Vision is comparable it seems), has IPS panel (personally I prefer these for wide viewing angle but I know it’s not supposed to be as nice)
Bring a friend, ratchets and a truck. This thing hangs off the end of the flat carts they have! Had 2 at my store (State College) + floor model
