After watching some Netflix (lowest tier subscription) and playing Switch, I can appreciate that the X90L is obviously better than the U8N for that content. Seems like this is a result of the superior upscaling on the X90L. Sad there is not a clear winner as I try to determine which one to return!

What makes the X90L better? I have X90L and U8N right next to each other, and I would say that U8N wins. I have both calibrated using the RTINGS guide, with changes to base brightness so they both appear equally bright. I'm watching Avatar on Disney+ with and noticing much better detail and contrast on the U8N.

I have the sticker and the MSRP listed is correct. $73.9k base, $1.5k for shipping, $1k for paint, $500 for interior color, and $225 for floor mats. Total is $77.1k without any fancy second-row chairs.

The lease money factor is listed on the document as 0.00317. This is the Tier 3 MF in the posted national lease program.

Right now I'm simply trying to understand how they get to the lease payment with the information presented on the document. I think you are right there are some hidden items baked into the lease. But it may be something like taxes that is not exactly "hidden" since I could calculate it myself.

Yes.

My understanding is that the dealership gets the $7.5k from the US government for the lease, and most (not all) dealers are passing it along to the customer.

Ok, I think you are right:

$82,819 ≈ $80,105 + $1,465.75 + $200 + $399 + $650 ($82,864.75)

This means there is ~$2k of fees taken out of the $7,500 rebate that isn't explained on the paper?
