Deal Details
Saw this deal on eBay via buydig so figured I'd post since it's lowest I've seen.. 1779+ tax
Comparable to that beach camera refurbished via Walmart that you had to seperately purchase the 3r warranty for 99 more , so this is cheaper and includes 2yr warranty , not the best warranty though ofc

This one says 90 day manufacturer warranty in description but on listing I also see 2yr extended warranty so not sure which this comes with , under the FAQ it said this.

Items in Certified Refurbished condition include a 2-year extended warranty backed by All-state. Items in seller refurbished condition are backed at minimum by a 90 day warranty.

I'm assuming this is better than that 1799 secondipity deal that is always on eBay even though I'm surprised they have 26 all positive feedback on that item, no warranty but I doubt all feedback is fake.

And I'm assuming the 90 day manufacturer warranty is from buydig , while the 2 year extended warranty is thru allstate/ eBay bc certified refurbished

The 55 is also going for 800 now i see

C2 and G2 are better. This is close though. Sony has better processing but more susceptible to burn-in. The LG sets are slightly brighter which is important with OLED. This is a good deal as i've not seen the C2 at this price yet even refurbished.

Interesting. So do these use the Evo panel like the 77" LG C1s (and many 65" C1s) did?

If you only game or need the extra brightness go with LG. Personally I much prefer Sony for the motion and picture processing.

where are you getting that sony is more prone to burn in? If you are talking about the ratngs test, that was the QD-OLED models, not the WOLED models like this one.

Ya I don't think that guy knows what he's sayin, and c2 isn't better , g2 slightly brighter with worse upscale

This is like 400 bux more than the new c2 at 65 which is front page. This seems like way better deal tbh for a better overall tv with warranty but LG c2 has a cult.

The 83 a90J is basically this tv with a heat sink and 6 inches larger for 4500 plus tax.

Basically the only flaw or negative or this Sony is the semi matte screen , glossy would have been better, and the ABL on gaming.

Most people buy 55 or less LG for gaming monitor and their popularity trickles down to the higher sizes yet the pixel density isn't as good above 55-65 and with LG up scaling not being as good as Sonys that matters more on larger TVs. So unless you only watch 4k and Blu ray discs which most don't , the Sony will look better on content that is below 4k.

The C2 benefits are that it has HGIG for gaming and weighs alot less than other OLEDs

Looks like 3 of these sold since I posted this lol I should get a commission. Probably the slickest deal for an oled I've seen on this site all year

For comparison , they are selling the 55 refurb for only a few hundred less , 65 almost same as 77. And the 77 new c2 and a80k go for 2700 plus tax so this is over 1K off after tax. Vs the other "slick" deals being a few hundred in savings, without the 2yr extended warranty from eBay/Allstate this includes which is usually 200 bux for 1 yr.

Yes rtings will say the c2 is better, which means nothing and in the real world is false.

This is slightly worse than the 65 a95K which has raised blacks with ambient lighting and is considered the best tv you can buy , yet it's 77 and can achieve similar picture with live color and some say more accurate in some scenes than a95K. The added brightness is barely noticeable vs the a80K but it is noticeable. I personally keep the brightness on my Sony lcd at zero when viewing at night so brightness isn't too important to me

LG also has bad remote and UI that basically requires a Apple TV 4K or nvidia shield. Vs the Sony which doesn't. The android on my current Sony is actually better sometimes than Apple TV 4K in many aspects like especially sound and raised blacks in DV on Netflix

Personally I'm waiting for the 77 a95L and 77 a80L which will probably crush everything that is out rn

The G3 is the one getting the best early reviews at the moment with the MLA layer. Unless I can find an 83" of the current gen at really good price I think I will wait for the next gen too, sounds like there are substantial improvements at the top tier end not just incremental upgrades this year.

That's incorrect

Directly from the article

"The Sony A8H, A80K, A80J, A90J, and A90K all showed severe signs of image retention."

Learned my lesson on Sony Smart TVs about 15 years ago, when Sony stopped supporting the smart platform on my 2 year-old TV. Never again.

Yes, the 80k uses the deuterium based blue panel. Also, the 77 and 83" now have the semi-gloss finish instead of the glossy which may be a downgrade or upgrade depending on personal preference. If mirror-like reflections drive you nuts, you may actually prefer the semi-gloss.
