I found this on Rtings, which by the way has some good info/reviews. http://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/local-dimming
Sony Z9D/ZD9 640+ zones(65 inch) 800+ zones(75 inch) 1840 Peak Nits Brightness
Samsung KS9800 150+(65) (Rumor 512 78 inch) 1000 Peak Nit Brightness
Panasonic TX-58DX902 512 Zones 1278 Peak Nit Brightness
Vizio P65-C1 128 Zones 550 Peak Nit Brightness
I can speak for the Samsung KS9800, it rocks and the reviews are off the chart good all around. Right at $3,000 right now.
"The combination of HDR1000 technology, Samsung’s fantastically bright LEDs and full-array LED backlighting makes the KS98000 take its ability to render high peak brightness to a level we haven’t yet seen in any other 4K TV this year, not even Sony’s also full-array X940D flagship HDR TV."

One thing I've found looking at these new TVs... why the hell are the stands so short? My center channel is like 5 inches tall so at least based on measurements of TV height with/without stand there's no way the speaker will work in front of the TV like it does my plasma.
I'm not sure of their design thoughts but my Samsung soundbar nestles in like a glove between the stand and TV. Maybe they figure soundbars are the go-to method of audio for most common folks? I do have a Onkyo 7.1 in my mancave and went the route of a 2-tiered TV stand to house the center channel, receiver, and assorted systems on the lower level.
