(Update) It seems that this was an error on their website so I added YMMV to the title. If ordering online they will pull the wrong model because the SKU doesn't match the description.

Picked one up today and it seems flawless.
30 day no questions asked return policy, and 90 day warranty.

If you want to extend the warranty, it looks like you can buy the Sony Warranty here: https://protect.electronics.sony.com/care/
It's 189.99 for a 2 year plan and 219.99 for a 4 year plan.

Thanks OP - do you know if it's manufacturer refurbished or a third-party?

Honestly I do not see any indication on the box to tell me for sure who refurbished it.

I actually asked the person when I picked it up and they told me that "Their Sony and LG TV's are all manufacturer refurbished" but looking online I'm not sure they were correct based off of others experiences. So YMMV on that. Feel free to ask them and see what they say. But the TV I got had all of the tape and plastic wrap on it, the manual and remote were resealed, etc.

It seemed like new when I opened it, the only thing that would have tipped me off that it wasn't brand new is that there were no batteries in the box for the remote.

I wish I could tell you for sure but I don't want to give you False info

If it was third party refurbished, I assume you wouldn't been able to buy the warranty. But nice deal. I'm thinking of picking one up honestly.

Yeah I'm not sure, wish I could tell you definitively. My store had 7 in stock, so my mindset was "If it's not perfect I'll just swap them out half a dozen times until I get one that's good" but the first one I opened seems great. Hooked it up and played some PS5 and it looks phenomenal.

Have you picked one up already? They have the mfg part # in specifications marked as an LED
KD-55X80CK. Make sure it's an OLED when picking up.
If they are OLED I believe they have messed it up in someway and the reason there are 2 of the same listings. Probably should be $899.
My guess is you will get the OLED if they go by the mfg part # on the box until they figure it out.
This is definitely a pricing/specification mistake.

Reserved one but I agree with the above, based on the two product pages seems like an error. Not sure if I want to take 1hr+ drive hoping it's the OLED.

Did it come in a retail A80K box?

It's a mistake… take a look at the Marietta, GA store open box description. Condition
Warranty
Sales Terms
Price
INCOMPLETE: IS THE KD-55X80CK NOT THE XR

Agreed. XR refurb in North Jersey is 899 for the 55", 999 for the 65". Both showing in stock here.
