@leAlexandria-EM TV Journey continues. LG G4 83 is growing on me. I finally got the picture mostly dialed in and in the last few days it seems like the Haze has basically disappeared. I just wish it was brighter, but I don't think it's worth exchanging at this point in the hopes for a brighter TV next year.
Update
I'm having a hard time justifying keeping this TV. It's certainly not $4,000 better than my S90C and I do just like the S90c better. I just don't feel like dealing with returning it and I actually already paid it off. So it's not really about the money.

@leAlexandria-EM I don't know what to do about this LG C4 83 inch TV. I absolutely hate the picture quality. It either looks like a giant blue computer monitor or if you put the warm settings or calibrate the blue out it looks like a dark, muddy, mess. I'm an LG fangirl and LG has been my main/primary/only TV for 10 years. So I know how to set these things. C4 is definitely the Brightest OLED I've seen outside of the G4 and brighter than my S90C, but it still just seems "dark" even though it's bright. Primarily because the "Brightness" comes from all the Blue which makes the picture look cold.
I'm going out of town for 2 weeks next week and I really don't feel like dealing with BB anymore and trying to return this TV.. But I'm 70 percent sure it's going back and I will just keep the S90C for another year and hope LG does something different next year (we know they won't) or that the 83 Inch QD OLED is reasonably priced (we know it won't be). My other option would be to give the 83 Inch S90C a try. It's $2,599 right now and I can probably live with that tv for a few years. But I haven't seen in it in action. But knowing Samsung at least it shouldn't be overly Blue and weirdly "hazy" like the C4. It shouldn't be this hard to get a TV. The saving grace is I got this TV for $3,600.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM I like the Hisense U8N 85 inch TV a lot. Price vs. Performance is fantastic. It wasn't buggy. Had a few minor issues with HDMI Switching a Game Mode I could never quite set the way I wanted. But considering I only paid $1,800 those are issues I can live with and wait for a Patch. I ended up swapping it for an LG 83 C4 simply because it had a amazing Labor Day sale of $3,749 and with a Coupon I was able to get it for about $3,600 all in. At that point I had to pounce on that deal. One day I will learn how to work one of my many cameras so I can film a TV without it always being out of focus. That's annoying shoot a 23 min video only to see that the video on TV is fuzzy. Oh well.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM Wow, the LG C4 93 Inch Oled is $3,799 today . I've never seen an 83 Inch Oled this cheap. Although the Samsung 83 S90C is $2,600. That may be the TV to get. I'm very torn. The Hisense U8N only cost me $2,200 and I'm really enjoying it. But I got the C4 because the 83 Inch had a great sale and I had a $200 credit. So I only paid an $1,800 difference between the C4 and Hisense. I'm hoping I don't miss the brightness and colors of the Hisense.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM Wow the 83 inch C4 is on sale for $4,200 it's tempting to exchange my Hisense for that. While it won't be as bright the processing will be better and will be a TV I would probably keep for 4 or 5 yrs - assuming there's no issues with dirty screen.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM I'm really enjoying the Hisense U8N Tomorrow will be a nice test as I have 8 4K Rental disks that I need to sit down and watch. I've had them for a month. This Rental company must hate me. LOL. But so far I have zero issues with this TV. It's been bug free, bloom free, PQ is really good. Maybe not as "sharp" as an OLED but good enough. Really nice colors, clean panel. I dropped the black level to -6 and now I'm getting that near OLED black level, without much crushing. It's remarkable really. Mini LCD has come a long way. And it's just amazing that I only paid $1,800 for it. I'm not going to lie I'd love to see the U9N when it comes out but I can't imagine it'd be much better than this one. Price to Performance is unbeatable. Only TV that would come close when looking purely at Price to Performance at this size would be TCL QM8

@leAlexandria-EM So far I'm really enjoying the Hisense U8N. I don't know really how it differs from the TCL QM8 without having the TCL QM8 next to it. Maybe the TCL is slightly "better." But it seems to be the same to me if I remember correctly. The PQ is Solid and I don't have any complaints so far, black levels are crazy - I was watching my Disney Fireworks show that I recorded Friday (great video for testing blooming) and I didn't see any bloom (very impressive), it does a great job with 1080p content and is a super clean panel. I don't really watch much low bitrate content, so can't really comment on upscalling. But I haven't seen any issues with pixelation on YouTube streaming. I'm very pleased so far. This is like having an 83 inch OLED without the crazy price. At $1,800 for a TV this size and quality is truly incredible. I'm not saying I wouldn't rather have an 83 inch OLED (namely the G4), but considering the price of an 83 inch OLED is literally more than double the cost (or in the case of the G4 - triple) it's hard to justify that price difference for the "minimal" performance increase.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM The Hisense 85 Inch U8N is on sale today for $1990.00 today and last week it was $1,780. I couldn't help it, I pulled the trigger last week. It's hard to pass up an 85 inch Tv that's so cheap. So I'm very curious about it. I'm not going to lie if this is good, I can easily see myself wanting to exchange it for the U9N. But there's always something "better" coming out. So why bother? All I want is a Clean Panel, No Blooming, DV that's not dark and Bug Free Experience and a good price. Hopefully this checks all those boxes.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM 85 Inch TCL QM8 is on sale for $2,299. That's a steal. I LOVED this TV when I had it earlier this year. My issue was it was broken. Vertical banding was crazy bad with 2 white streaks right in the middle of the screen, that is visible in a lot of actual content. Even though it only appears in 70 percent gray - but a lot of content use that grayscale. If you can get a clean picture it's worth it. I'm thinking about buying it again.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM Has anyone tried a Amazon Fire Cube? I think the App selection is pretty limited, so I still need to use my ATV - which is annoying. But wholly crap, the Upscaling on this thing is absolutely BRILLIANT! My S90C has a whole new "life". I was watching the X-Files last night and it looked 4K Sharp. I don't think we need new TVs for better processing if the Streaming devices can get better. I'm really hoping Apple does a new ATV this fall. I've always thought the PQ was pretty soft and not nearly as good as my SHIELD. But this Fire Cube takes things to a new level. Like I said, my S90C never looked this clean and "3 dimensional" before. I just think the Cube feels clunky to use.
