What's your story? You keep saying this over and over about every tv.

I'm confident this has been asked so I apologize in advance - I actually did google it and couldn't find anything other than LG sales pitches:

What is the difference between these and "standard" (whatever that is...LED?) TVs? I assume the picture is better but is it $2k better? Especially since I see the old plasma bandit of burn in is back as a concern (hopefully not to that level).

Appreciate any notes - I'm in the market for a new TV in the 75"+ range and simply not understanding the massive price differential. Note that I haven't been in an electronics store in years so if the picture really is just that much better, that's a perfectly reasonable explanation to me.

C1 if you plan on doing more gaming than movie watching, the A80J if you plan on doing the opposite. I have the A80J 77" and the picture is amazing. I also have a GTX 2080super desktop gaming to it and it plays beautifully but from my understanding the C1 works better with consoles which I do not use. The Sony US version still has not received an update to enable VRR. The Sony will also have a more reflective screen so if you have it in a bright room with windows it could cause an issue. I have blackout curtains which block out a fair amount of light from my living room and I can still pick up some glare if I look for it. the screen is quite glossy compared to the C1.
What has your experience with PC gaming on the Sony without VRR been like? I've been debating between the Sony and LG OLED models. I tend to prefer the Sony picture quality, but the lack of VRR and only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports are holding me back, especially coming from Freesync/G-sync gaming monitors.

The c1 has the more reflective screen. I have both the 65" c1 and a 77" a80j. I game on both and prefer the a80j. I haven't tried fps on either tv yet but the smoothness still feels just about equal and the pq is better on the sony. I currently have my pc(6900xt) and series x hooked up to the a80j and my ps5 hooked up to the c1. The c1 is more glossy, even with the anti reflective coating. Lgs black crush is still apparent. I'm currently playing god of war on the a80j and it's never been better. Other than a crap firmware that was issued, i had no issues with the Sony. I had to reset my TV settings to factory to fix whatever Sony botched. The c1 gaming features are nice but so far the games I've played on both tvs, I've witnessed no discernible difference.

ps: for those wondering about brightness, both tvs get plenty bright(blinding if you ask me). Unless you're watching TV in a room with nothing but windows or glass walls, you will have to turn down the brightness because these tvs get bright.
How's it been PC gaming on the a80j without VRR? I've been torn between the Sony and LG OLED's for awhile, but am accustomed to Freesync/G-sync gaming monitors, so the lack of VRR has been holding me back from going with the Sony, despite prefering it's picture quality.

So far so good, i haven't really put it's through its paces just yet but so far god of war has been good. I've gotta check out some fast pace games like cod and forza but I'm loving what i see. I do have a beefy system connected too(5950x+6900xt).

I had the same debate you are having. Went with OLED (this posted product). So glad. The blacks, contrast and color are amazing. If you have the $, get OLED. If you can't spare it, a good LED will be nice too.

I would strongly suggest going into a store to view the different TV technologies (OLED, QLED, LED, etc) in person or at least checking out youtube channels like HDTVTEST or Stop the FOMO, to brush up on the differences. RTINGS.com has good reviews and ratings of different sets as well. Different technologies are better for different use cases, preferences, and budgets, so you would need to see it for yourself to determine if one technology at a higher price point, presents a good value for you vs a cheaper technology. OLEDS are self emissive, so each individual pixel produces light, and can be shut off to produce perfect blacks and terrific contrast. LED/QLED/Mini-LED rely on a series of LED back lights shining through the panel, and even the best local dimming systems (probably the Samsung QN95A) cannot produce the perfect blacks/contrast of an OLED. They can often get much brighter than an OLED though, so if you're viewing in a brightly lit room, or prioritize HDR peak brightness, then an LED might be a better fit. If video games are a factor, OLED's are usually considered better due to their faster response times.

For my use case/preferences/budget (prioritizing picture quality for HDR content and high framerate PC and PS5 gaming in a light controlled room), a 75"+ OLED for $2-3k is a great deal, and ideal fit. Do some research and demo some units in person to see what features you prioritize and what sets are a good fit. If you like the look of OLED but don't play video games above 60 FPS, then the LG A1 might be a fit at a lower price. Vizio makes a budget OLED as well. If you're on a tighter budget, the Hisense 75U6G, TCL 75R646, and Vizio M75Q7 are often cited as very good budget QLED TV's that punch above their price points. Here's a link to RTINGS list of the best 70"+ TV's that will explain a lot of the pro's/con's of different sets.

How low this TV will go at Costco? They have it for $2900. Should I jump on it before sale ends on February 13th?

Fantastic set. Bought it at Costco for $2999 with 3 year additional warranty and don't regret it. This is a great deal, but Costco is price matching with warranty.

I have this tv. As everyone has reported it looks EXCELLENT. A few things to take notice of.. I have this set up in my living room, sometimes the brightness of OLED is underwhelming especially with Dolby Vision content . It gets "too dark" in many scenes. I'm not sure if it's just my set or what , but this tv is very glitchy , it turns on and off on its own I messed around with all the settings still not able to fix it. My Yamaha 3070 receiver will also wig out and turn in and off on its own, sometimes the receiver will also lose sound output. I believe it is a "handshake" issue , but it's incredibly frustrating when a 2021 $3k tv can't do what my 2014 Samsung tv would do without any glitches..

turn off? full power down? Perhaps if you have it connected to a UPS or surge, this TV is using more wattage?

Waiting for $2,500, not sure how likely this will happen before Superbowl, but optimistic.

My guess is not very likely for $2,500 before super bowl. These units are still flying off the shelves at 2900. There's no incentive for Sony to cut another $400 off the price when people are paying $2900.

Maybe June or July after the new model has been out for a couple of months you might be able to see 2500. But that's big maybe.

I did exactly same and happy! I was lucky, got Sony 77 oled open box for $2300 from Costco with all the warranties.
