My 60" plasma died today and looking for the best deal on a 70-75" TV I can go up a bit on the price. All I know is 120hz is better than 60hz.

I had a look at Costco just for fun anf giggles and found nothing they offered meets any of your criteria. None of the 70" and above products at or under $850 offer refresh rates above 60Hz. And I will say right now, going from a plasma to ultra-cheap LCD is going to be very noticeable drop in picture quality. But that's just my opinion. Good luck!

I still use my 50" plasma as a backup TV. I tried explaining to people how Japanese electronics work. They just work, forever and never break. Unplug it and store it for 3 or 4 years. Plug it back in and it turns on like brand new. I just replaced it again after having it in storage for 3 or 4 years. I got a 65" TCL 4 Series for $229+ tax @ Target minus 5% Discover cash back a few days ago. I have a TCL 6 Series as well but I wanted something to hold me over for a few years.

Well, a step down to 65" and there are plenty in and around the $700-900 range. But, yes, in the 70-76" you won't find a 4k 120hz panel for less than around $1100 - 1300.

You can get 75" Samsung Series 9 RU9000 LCD TV for $999. I don't know if you'll find better TV at that size/price right now than the RU9000.

And as stated before, he was looking for 120Hz, which the RU9000 can not do at 4K (only at 1080p, at 4K it's max is 60Hz). As previously stated, he won't find a 4K 120Hz 70-75" TV for less than around $1100-1300.

I ordered this TV a few days ago. Should be delivered tomorrow. Primarily to use for gaming at 1080p 120hz. I couldn't care less about 4k 120hz as I wont be using it for that. Fios doesnt broadcast that anyway and movies in 120hz is too fake looking. For me gaming is the reason.

Fios broadcasts some stuff in 4k, mainly PPV movies. Both new gaming consoles are in 4k though. We both know that it's just a matter of time before your get one, or both of those.

Yeah, unfortunately, the number of TV's that actually work correctly with 4k, HDR, variable frame rates, and both consoles are few and far between.

With all the various "standards" for HDMI 2.1, everything got f'ed up because the "standards" have too many optional pieces which are not properly defined and everyone set about making assumptions on what should work. So good luck with most of the current TV's and trying to use the new consoles. It is a coin flip as to if you have the HDMI control chip that works in your TV (as one of the two main chips do not and this doesn't seem like it can be fixed in software since the one chip that doesn't work only works when things are compressed, which was an optional to the optional (meaning it was supposed to be mandatory that it would work uncompressed if they enabled this optional feature)). And it only gets worse if you bought a A/V receiver/pre-processor/HDMI switch since that also has to have the one working HDMI chip in it as well as your TV.
