The TCL 85" Class - Q77 Series - 4K UHD QLED is available from Costco for $800. This price includes Allstate 3-Year Protection Plan Bundle Included for 5 Years of Total Coverage. I ordered the TV online as shipping was free.

- 85" for $800,
- 98" for $1,500
TCL Q77 Series: This series appears to be a Costco exclusive version of the Q7 series. While the core performance and features are very similar to the standard Q7 (Q750G), there are minor variations or specific bundled features that differentiate it. The Q7 series is considered mid-range QLED TV. Sitting above the Q7 Series (Higher Tiers - premium features, significantly better picture quality, often Mini-LED) are QM7 and QM8 series.
For example, the Q77 enhancements relative to the Q7 are:
- A higher native refresh rate, 144 Hz vs 120 Hz
- A higher-contrast HVA (Horizontal Vertical Alignment) panel vs VA (Vertical Alignment) panel

Q77 does not have local dimming.
Full array LED backlight itself does not mean it has local dimming. The Q651g is also full array LED with no local dimming.
Many full array LED backlit TVs do have local dimming but not here.

side note, does anyone know what cpu or soc this thing has? cant find it anywhere as this is a costco only model and doesnt match anything else
From what I can figure, the Q77 in the OP is essentially a costco-only update of the TCL Q6, with improved higher refresh rate.
In that sub $300 price range, a TCL Q6/Q77 and the hisense QD6 are pretty similar.
Bottom line: TCL Q77 is better for gaming with support for 144 Hz refresh rate, and lower input lag, but otherwise, the 2 TVs are pretty comparable quality-wise.
You also get 5 total years of warranty coverage for the TCL Q77, compared to only 3 with the hisense QD6. If you value those extra 2 years of warranty coverage and game a lot, it could be worth the extra $20 and the hassle of returning.
Yes I want a Mini-LED 120hz but at this price and the additional warranty, I could get 2 for what I would have spent on 1.
(and the 65" qualifies for $150 discount when buying 2)
(Around $690 for 2 before tax.)

This tv is mostly going to be a tv in the gym and watching football on the weekends while doing so, no gaming or home theater viewing
