Rtings is love, Rtings is life. Dolby Vision is one of those betamax situations, except Sony's not on the losing side of it. I was told by both our Bravia and PlayStation reps not to expect DV on PS4Pro, since Sony doesn't support it on their TVs. That aside, you really want to avoid LG and Vizio, anyway. The KS8000 is the lowest cost HDR10 with local dimming, but it scored pretty low (along with the KS9000). as far as the "affordable" range is concerned, the 930D has the highest score among the two brands thanks to its Slim Backlight Drive, but it sacrifices input lag for it (I personally own an XBR55X930D, and I don't really find the input lag to be too offputting, tbqh). And like most of my friends here, you went with the 800D as a good small model, and I couldn't agree more. Though it does suffer from light banding, it's the only 10-bit series available for under $1000, and is nice and thin. No local dimming, but it's not the end of the world. I wouldn't recommend Vizio's, though; they intentionally buy bad panels at a lower price to save on cost. Sure, they pass the savings on to you, but I've never seen a non-Sharp brand come back as much as Vizio. The KS8000 is a great choice, and if 60" is the perfect size, you won't have any options like that in a Sony, anyway. We have a Z9D set up next to my manager podium. I...

Man, that Z9D.
I've not had a bad experience with Vizio but that is a very narrow generalization. I figured their P Series would offer enough quality in that tier. Though I wouldn't get the 55" and sacrifice the size from the 60" KS8000; and the 65" would nix my entertainment center. The KS8000 is going to look great, even with less contrast due to its weaker local dimming.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
