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.
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.

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?

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.
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
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.
They love to throw stuff at TVs. (metal cars are a favorite)
