85" mini-LED is the sweet spot from TCL/Hisense in the larger sizes

The repairability of these is really poor. The Sony's look much easier to swap the battery pack. Don't need a heat gun and a knife.

I'm not so concerned about the Samsung specifically. More generally the warranty handling since it isn't really an Amazon Australia sale.…

The new u7g and u8g 75" versions are very similar in price to 75q8 and on paper look excellent with new features like HDMI 2.1
