No, different model. I agree that if I were buying a 65" OLED it would be an LG. Best bang for the buck.Oh, look, just like the 2nd one I posted.

BECAUSE LG IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER FOR A TV.
Why are we still talking? Buy that!
My 65 Sony , simply put no longer satisfies my viewing interest because of the size. Watching the same movies at my friend's house with hi 80 inch was very much different experience. Both our living rooms have our tv at the same approximate distance which is 15 feet. The 80 inch also is my limit I can get away with without the wife vetoing the whole project.Bigger is not necessarily better. It depends on the viewing distance.
I'm pretty sure it is the exact same model but part of that shell game BS that retailers do these days. They have a company like LG/Samsung (and I've seen it with Asus routers) where they have one model called example: ALX2345C. That's the main one available at their website. Then they make a version for a major retailer with ONE slight difference and they call it: ALX2345XJR. So when you buy it at BB for $1900 but see it on Amazon for $1600 and you go to get the difference back on a price match.... no no no! Not the same model, sorry. So sketchy.No, different model.

You just never get when I'm joking around.The point of this discussion is to consider my options.
Sorry to triple quote. Your receiver probably will not support those things. I'm sure you know DTS is a competitor to Atmos. I doubt you'll use the Optical out, will you? I used to think that was THE way to go but I don't think there is any advantage to that over HDMI these days.DTS:X via DTS-HD MA via eARC
5.1 DTS via ARC
5.1 DTS via Optical

Not even sure what the first one even means. Virtual DTS over.... DTS-HD.. over... I know what eARC is but... I'm guessing it' an attempt to create DTS without the required speaker config. I have a sound bar that supports DTS and ATMOS but the way my living room is configured, neither really sounds all that different sadly.
Will you have ceiling speakers? That's the one thing I wish I could do...
You should get a more current receiver. Your Pioneer doesn't support eARC, not to mention 4k passthrough.
Are you planning on using the TV's built in apps for all your sources, like Netflix? If so, there wouldn't be a need for the 4k passthrough, but then having eARC support becomes more important. For example, our Sony OLED only sends back 2ch PCM audio back to the receiver via optical cable. Even though it should support DD 5.1, it does not for some reason. Maybe the LG is different.4k passthrough wasn't important at the time because the regular PS4 doesn't output 4k. I got the receiver used for like $300, so I wouldn't complain if I had to upgrade it to get 4k passthrough. I think for the moment, the SC-61 is fine, but if I get a PS5, I would definitely get a newer receiver.

Here's a comparison chart between the connections and their limitations:

Right on, this is the answer.
That is what you want. LG ALL DAY.
One of those 2. Both are EXCELLENT.
I know TVs. Sony is excellent too, but LG is the best.
I got a Vizio and I regret it so much. I should have gotten the LG.
I can go pick one up today from a local BB store. Is this a Canadian problem, or just your location? Why not have it shipped?I've settled on the LG C2 in 65". It doesn't seem like I can get the C2 from Best Buy yet ...

Interesting, I didn't know you could barter at a Best Buy in Canada.It might be a local supply problem, but I haven't actually gone to any brick and mortar stores to see if they're in stock, so I don't know for sure. I'm planning to drag the wife along with me after work sometime this week. Worst case scenario I order online, but I'd like to buy from a physical store just so I can try to swing a better deal.

Yeah, they joined Saturday and lie in wait to advertise a Sony OLED TV 2 days later.I smell a bot...
