Been waiting for this one!

On Best Buy's website they are advertising this as a "Black Friday deal" which tells me it is very unlikely to drop lower in a couple weeks. Something to keep in mind if you are planning to wait until BF.

Not commenting on this particular line, but I bought one of sony's fairly high end TVs from a few years ago, and while the picture quality is fine, the way sony implemented the Android OS is horrible. The TV is occasionally unusable for minutes at a time, slow, stuttery, and forget about playing files from a USB. Every update has actually made the experience worse.
Yeah. I have a 2016 year XBR Z9D and the Android TV interface, using apps etc is pretty sluggish - especially when compared to external streaming devices etc. I haven't actually had the problem you describe though, the TV being unusable for minutes at a time. Hopefully I don't run into that.

The more recent models are supposed to have improved in this area. How much, I can't say.

One thing that is recommended for Sony TV buyers is to be sure to Opt-Out of the 'Samba Interactive' stuff when doing the initial TV setup. It's nothing but junk.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I'm always hesitant with samsung RTINGs scores ever since Samsung got busted for manipulating test scores. I recently picked up the 85 inch Sony x90k from costco (branded x90ck) and the picture is beautiful, colors true, and the blacks are crisp - beyond what I was expecting. This coming from someone who also owns a Sony A80J 65 inch OLED. Overall the x90k is a solid tv and the vast majority of people in standard home lighting conditions will be very happy with it.

On the site it shows the following:

Free With Purchase (Total Value: $599.98):
CPS 4 Year Accidental Television Extended Warranty under $2,000 ($299.99)
CPS 4 Year Accidental Television Extended Warranty under $2,000 ($299.99)

Which looks like the same thing twice. Are these two separate identical warranties that stack, is it basically the same as one 4 year warranty, is it a mistake, etc? I'm confused. Anybody know?

It's weird that they have that rating where all the OLED TVs are so highly rated, but all their recommendations for PC monitors are LED TVs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides the top one, they are all concerned with budget and take price into account. 🤷 TLDR LEDs are cheap...

If you solely look at the rating chart, you will see the top four are all OLEDs and 8 of the top 10 are all OLEDs.

The bad thing about RTings is that they strictly look at specs, and a bit of do they meet the spec. They do not normally look at/comment on OS issues, slowness, performance issues, defects, reliability, etc. I have tried using their recommendations 2-3 times over the past few years, and have been burned nearly everytime. The best thing I could say is that, when the televisions I had purchased DID work, they mostly matched what RTings was saying.

For instance, I bought some Vizio P Quantum $1k tv a few years ago that had a great picture when it worked. The local dimming wasn't amazing with so few zones, but the contrast, colors, HDR, etc all looked great. But there was strange audio cutout randomly (while streaming though built-in apps and with device input). The TV would freeze frequently. One time the picture just went black and wouldn't come back until unplugging/replugging in. There was also about 3-4 times that the TV just didn't turn on. All of this was withing 3-4 weeks of owning the TV. I did my own digging online and found that many others had the same issues/defects out of the box. As if anyone who purchased it would have seen at least some of the issues. Yet, RTings had this thing as one of the top rated TV's on their site that year, with glowing review/recommendation. Not one mention of any issues.

I quickly sought resolution with Vizio, and when they couldn't solve it I just returned to Costco (thank goodness for them).

And after trying to use their recommendation again, I had similar things show up immediately with those other TVs.

I would have chalked it up to bad luck and that maybe RTings just didn't see the problems, but given the prevalence of them I find it hard to believe, so I do not rely on them in the same way anymore.

So to say that OLEDs are fine these days because RTings reviews them all very highly is not a convincing statement. Sure, when they work, OLEDs will outperform LED TV's in many categories. But RTings isn't looking at the full picture most of the time, or chooses to minimize or outright leave out any commentary on performance issues/defects, including burn-in.

I believe there was also a recent news article where LG had reported losses due to their OLED business being below expectations/not performing, which to me is a sign that OLED's issues may not be solved/reduced to the point that they replace LEDs.

Just some things to think about
No, they don't run longevity tests, however CR does. When you review CR data, you will see similar issues and failure rates among all manufacturers at similar price points. Rtings does have ongoing burn in tests and do speak to that. And like I said, my TV is 3 gens old now and has no burn in.

There isn't a TV out there where you won't be better served by using an external streaming device vs the internal TV OS, they are all garbage and will all slow down eventually.

Highly recommend looking at local Best Buy's for x90j open box. I grabbed one basically brand new (marked fair) for $530. It's basically the same TV at half the price. Buy an aftermarket warranty if you're worried about warranty.

4 year accidental damage warranty is great if you own a sports bar and a drunk hurls a beer bottle at it when their favorite sports team loses
OR... if you have a toddler.
They love to throw stuff at TVs. (metal cars are a favorite)

This set does not have mini LED, gets about as bright as a C2 OLED, and washes out of axis. Even though it has Dolby Vision, I think it's a step down from the Samsung 90B series. The Sony 95 series competes with the 90B.
