Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

In-store demos looked stunning, but home results were inconsistent. Multiple shoppers were blown away seeing the TV in Costco, saying it rivaled OLED and had an amazing picture. But at least one buyer returned it after finding the picture dull and worse than a 10-year-old Samsung at home, and another said colors looked dim, though acceptable in a dark room for the price.

Confusion over matte vs glossy panel coating is the TV's biggest talking point. Commenters repeatedly disputed whether the Costco 'Pro' version should have a glossy Crystglow HVA panel or a matte anti-glare coating, with several buyers surprised to find the 'wrong' finish. The matte coating reportedly raises black levels and hurts contrast, while some say certain sizes lack anti-glare entirely, creating buyer uncertainty.

Aggressive Costco pricing makes it a standout value for its size. The 98in model was seen on sale for $1599-$1799 and even dropped to $1299 months later, with one buyer calling it 'the best deal to date' after factoring in a free wall-mount install worth $350+. Commenters consistently frame the TV as an unbeatable price for its screen size, even amid picture-quality debates.
