I picked one up yesterday and it looks and operates like brand new. Mine came in the original box with some electrical tape over some serial numbers and "Refurbished - 90 Day Warranty Applies." Otherwise, like new.
The LG C3 was recently the same price at Microcenter, but I prefer the Sony for a number of reasons which may make it more appealing to you, too. First, the Sony's stand is height adjustable. Second, the Sony's built-in speakers are much, much better. Third, Google TV is miles ahead of WebOS. Fourth, the remote is much, much better than the Magic Wand. Fifth, Sony's video processing is much better on the 720P and 1080P content that will make up most of your TV watching. Finally, Sony just builds better TVs than anyone, in my experience. Yes, the panel is LG, but the caps and soldering are still Sony quality.
The LG, on the other hand, has four HDMI 2.1 inputes vs. 2 on the Sony. It gets a little brighter, and the anti-reflective coating is more effective. Both are great sets, but the Sony at this price was too tempting to pass up.
Microcenter offers extended warranties on these. I may pick up the 3-year with screen protection - I have a cat and he is very, very stupid. As usual, this is in-store only, so YMMV.
Good luck!

Asking sincerely since I do watch a lot of content on TV like sports. And I think ESPN is always 720p
I've been watching the NBA playoffs on it and compared to the LG A3 48" in our bedroom - it's miles better. That's not a C3 however, but the Sony makes shaky cam 720P NBA games look as good as they can.
It's still better than WebOS. Samsung's smarts are less offensive but also less capable.

BTW, if you want to get it, I got another two cents: I had a80l and returned for a s90c. Sony algorithm is much better than lg/samsung, upscaling is noticeable better. However my use case is using it as a monitor for 90% of time with nas for 4k contents, so Samsung's qd-oled is also noticeable better than Sony/lg woled. The perfect ones are always way too expensive so can't have them all on a budget lol, sneaky companies lol.
Hope that helps
Think it was close to that price with home delivery for me. In my opinion it was worth the cost and a decent deal in comparison to what I would've paid elsewhere.
$2550 + $200 on GT for a new unit + 3 year warranty (including burn-in protection). $2999 at most retailers + tax + whatever their warranty would've cost. So all in all, it was a minimum of 25% savings and I'm still protected by a 3 year warranty including on any screen issues.
Don't think the LG is quite as good of a deal since the price is dropping everywhere, but still may be worth it for some.

TV's will generally fail quickly or not at all. I got mine, unboxed it, inspected the screen, ran OLED burn pattern tests, and determined I got a good one. The manufacturer box looked almost new, and it included all accessories - stand, remote, AC cord, and the plastic cover for the ports.
I strongly prefer Sony's Reality Creation look to Samsung's clearmotion type stuff. My previous favorite TV was a Panasonic plasma, so dim is no problem for me - and this TV is demonstrably not dim. But again, preferences exist, and I'm glad you got something you like.
Everything I've seen has pointed to QD-OLED being worth it. Unfortunate since I prefer Sony interface
I wouldn't say way better 😅 This is not 90s or early 2000s any more. Besides Sony uses LG panels. Sony just does color representation better than others and that's it. They do charge extra for that.
Edit: I currently own both Samsung, LG and Sony and I like them all.
