Sorry for my naivety. As per threads, Toshiba U79 is same as Hisense Q7F. But on Amazon, U79 is available for ~67k whereas Q7F is ~90k. Is there something I am missing or Q7F is equivalent to U8080 ?

U79(67k) is equivalent to Hisense H8F
U7QF(82k) is equivalent to Hisense H8G
H8G is 2020 model, H8F is 2019 model. Both are similar in terms of PQ, but the H8G has a better response time. So if you want a TV more geared for gaming/sports, it might be the better choice.
Neither of them even get close to U8080, as that's equivalent to H9G/U8QF. I personally don't see any value in getting the U7QF for anything close to 80k when the U8080 can be obtained at 95k.

My set was just delivered today morning. How can I verify that the product is unopened and factory sealed(boxed unit) and not opened before. As I can only see a normal transparent cellotape for the seal at the top with no watermarked seal or anything. Was it same for you?
Adding more, can I install it myself if I am to keep it on stand or it will affect the warranty and I should wait for technician to install it.
My TV box had tape and also the packing belts. I'm pretty sure your can't repackage the box once it's opened so you don't have to worry.
Also, you should be fine installing it yourself. Even Amazon sends a non brand affiliated installer. Keep the plastic cover on the TV and rest it facing down on iits box and then screw in the stands.

initial views:
Video quality is really good. Had changed the video settings as suggested by @fragpic
Watching Netflix through Firestick 4k. Changed the colour depth to “upto 12 bits" from the default 8 bits.
Also, DV is enabled and picture mode is set to Dolby vision bright.
Also, my LG soundbar has a feature that allows me to control my soundbar volume through few TV remotes. Was not able to do so through the VU, but it apparently works with this TV, which helps reduce 1 remote for daily use.
@fragpic did you enable Game mode for the XBox? I tried using the HDR calibration software on XBox and it recommends enabling Game Mode before starting calibration.
Can you please elaborate on this?
I didn't use the inbuilt HDR calibration tool because it is meant to calibrate the Xbox and not the TV.
The game mode is to reduce input lag so I dont think it affects the calibration settings.
Since you have an Xbox, I would suggest you re run the calibration(for brightness, color and tint etc but keep the rest of the settings the same) since there would be some panel to panel differences.
The packing is similar to what you get for washing machines and refrigerators, where you remove the box from over the TV rather than take the TV out of the box. To re use the packaging, you would have to get new packing belts since you'd have to cut the existing ones to open the box.
Any news on U8080?

If I get anything, I'll post it here. Also will post the review of U79, dimming zone count and everything tomorrow evening.
My personal TV purchase has been shifted to next year Q2/3 2021 since I don't see the vaccine arriving anytime soon, and I won't be able to move back to Bangalore till then.

If you have the budget for X9500G, why not try for deals on LG B9 or C9?

As luck would have it... My 55 inch order got cancelled around 11:30 PM and thus I lost the chance of getting it with 4 years panel warranty.
Visited nearest Croma outlet with wife to check out how much big the 65 inch would look. Surprise... the 65 inch from 14ft would look normal and not extra large. So today I again placed the order for this TV but this time for 65 inch one. Also bought the Acko 1 year warranty. Delivery date given is Sat and installation on Sun. I hope this thing proves to be as good as my Panasonic plasma !!!!

let us know your thoughts when you get delivered
Don't mess with white balance.
Go into Backlight and reduce that. I have it to Set to 10 on Cinema Night and 60 on Cinema Day.
FOr HDR I left HDr Day at 100 and changed HDR Night to 75

I have a bunch of 4k HDR REMUX(H.265 main 10) files. Will try playing them after the install tomorrow with Plex. 99.99% it should be fine since higher bitrate is actually easier to play due to less compression.
Also, MKV is the most common container. Anything (and I literally mean anything) sold in last 4-5 years should play that.

btw, the Plex on this one, is it a client or a server app?
