Yea the pricing of those QLED models are a little silly . Q6FN is pretty much just like NU8000 except it is a Quantum Dots display , so it is slightly more colorful than NU8000 but I find its pricing a little absurd because it doesn't offer much over the NU8000.
The NU8000 is a bright TV but it isn't that bright compare with the likes of Z9D , Q9FN , Q7FN.

If your wife doesn't like the TV being too bright , you can always turn down the luminance settings .

When you have a bright TV  you have the luxury to adjust the brightness to suit your needs.
While playing HDR content , some of those effects can look really eyepopping on brighter TVs .

Note : although brightness is not the only factor to determine HDR performance
NU8000 is the successor of MU7000 , MU8000 is a step up over MU7000 . The MU8000 uses full glossy screen coating , which can provide better anti reflection in a bright room. Beside that , MU8000 and MU7000 are pretty identical .  Yea I know all these model numbers are very confusing .

After months of survey, will just go for the 65 X8500E display sets, not many lying around. Mainly watch in dark / dimly lit room. RM6400 for the tv + RM6600 for ST-5000 Atmos sound bar. Its too bad that 2018 X8500F uses IPS panels.

Are you sure 65x8500E is 6400myr for display?
I got it at 6k for brand new

Any good bracket that support 65” size NU8000? Forgot to do homework on this, ouch

Brand vesa, correct?

VESA isn't a brand, it is a grouping of 300 ++ companies coming together setting a standard across the brands.

The VESA mounting standards is used by most TV/Panels for the measurement of mounting interface.

NU8000 has a VESA 200X200 If I remember correctly , but the one I linked you is flexible enough to hold a 65 inches NU8000 , since it weights around 33kg .

Desa home & mid valley no more stock?

im comparing sony 65' x75f and x85f. the price diff is quite big. is it worth to have x85f? i need at least native 100hz refresh rate

Funny question but need to ask anyway. Do you keep your 65" TV brown box? My Sony 65" is now close to 3 years but still afraid if it encounters any problem and requires repair or unforseen relocation/moving to a new house in the future where the box is needed for safe transportation?

The box is so big, sometime I feel like throwing it away but surrounded by dilemma stated above.
