Great deal if you can find one is 747.99 for the excellent condition.

The Samsung QN90A 65 is also around $790 in the same condition if you prefer LED

I pick up a open box 77 inch A80j without remote and stands, Best Buy tell me to ask Sony to get them for free.

No stand and no remote probably means it was a display model with thousands of hours of continuous play at max brightness, just an FYI. When I did a similar deal last year (and returned it later after finding out the TV had been playing the demo for 300+ days straight) I was unable to get a free remote from Sony. In fact, they said because it's Best Buy open box it's considered used and they wouldn't even provide warranty.

Thank you..will add a 5 years GS warranty. However may I ask how did you get the running days number?
My TV has manufacturing date as March 2022, it was printed as open box on Oct 2022.

I'm going to return my unit, it has a vertical line of burn in, or I don't know what's is, it came with the stand and controller but it was definitely a display unit since it was manufactured in July 2021

Honestly you should keep kt with the GS warranty, since is only like $159 for 5 years. I'm glad that you got lucky. I'm going to keep a QN90A that I got open box with basically brand new, even the screen plastic was still on it and came with it box. Probably in 2 years I will finally get an OLED tv lol

I got it from bestbuy online directly, I'm surprised it should be the same price. Honestly it's worth it for peace of mind. You will know that you will have a good tv for 5 years or your money back lol.

No luck with this, basically said after that into consideration, this is the price.
