EXCEPT according to RTings the 49 does NOT have X-Wide... Otherwise this would have been perfect.

"Mediocre viewing angles. Despite having Sony's 'X-Wide Angle' layer to improve viewing angles, gamma shift still happens fairly quickly when moving off-center. It should be okay for most rooms, but not for large rooms with wide seating arrangements."
It sounds like "x-wide" is a marketing solution to an engineering shortcoming.
But I hear that the new HiSense TVs are phenomenal.
EDIT: OLEDs are a pain in the a** because they are heavy, flex and bend. Figure on at least two people to get a TV in. Even then you'll be white-knuckling it. Scary for something so expensive.

This is coming from someone who owns a Sony X900H, but only because I got the 75" for like $1300 and I have quite a unique use case.
The 2021 Hisense lineup is actually really good, and is a MUCH better value than the comparable Sony models. They're not *better*, but they're extremely similar and half the price. https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/c...shold=0.10
You'd actually be able to get the 65U6G for less than this x950 sale.

And Ellimis is also likely correct in that I really need to get off my duff and see them in person. But I really like the problem solving, the 'hunt', so of course I devour all the reviews etc. My living room is only about 8' deep yet 20' long. Any kind of group viewing will have half the participants looking at the screen from a solid 45 degree angle, hence I do have color/gamma shift concerns. OLED would solve that problem, but I'd have a different burn-in problem given the HTPC has Pandora pulled up 24/7.
Sony X-Wide or Samsung's Ultra Viewing Angle would be my current compromise preference.
Trust me, if you have an OLED in your home, you will really notice the lack of viewing angles and blooming on your LCD
Many TV's that are recommended "good" in the budget category need subjective viewpoint before blindly purchasing. The mid/high end TV's are more forgiving due to price point, superior technology (FALD) and better Q/A.
