So I bought the prior year model A80CK (Costco's A80K model) refurb'd from Secondipity for $1,050 about a year ago now and I'm in a room with a decent amount of natural light and it still seems very bright to me. I prefer Sony TVs because of their build quality and I'm very happy with it. The XR 4K upscaling is fantastic too. Just my two cents 🤷

Good deal. Keep your cat away from your TV. Check out various Reddit posts where cats destroyed, chewed on, or scratched OLEDs.

Here's one for example.

If you can get your hands on one. No targets in my area had stock yesterday, I bet most are out of stock nationwide by now

sony's android software on these tvs are a horror show. i would stay away even though I love sony products.
I had nothing but Sony TVs. The little experience I've had with the native android OS was pretty lackluster. I however never use it because I always use my chromecast. Picture quality seems nice to me. I would say just get a chromecast and you're golden.

I picked up the 77 inch version at my store for 1600. I got it home yesterday and so far it is working great. It's a great price compared to what it would cost to buy new.

Quote from Hikariz :
I'm talking about my experiences from 2010+, and there are still reliability issues from large manufacturer like LG and Samsung. If something lasted 3+ more years comparing to its competition, then yes, it's still way better. LG panels are being use by many companies, but there are other components such as processing boards, power supply boards, etc. The panel really means nothing in term of quality because it's still an unfinished consumer product, the whole TV is. I like LG monitors and washer/dryer, those products are reliable. But their Refrigerators and TV are not at the same level, My co-worker have the same experience with LG TV that died within 3years.
My LG TV died within 3 years. The only thing that was worse was the TCLI replaced it with. athat lasted only 1.5 years before getting a giant black hirizontal line running from left to right. I just replaced it with a Sony and have my fingers crossed...

My LG C1 lasted about 2.5 years, 4660 hours to be exact, panel was replaced on Saturday as a courtesy out-of-warranty repair by Lg at no cost. Now the tv looks brand new again, however I still prefer my Sony A80K! Never had any problems with it

My 13 YO Sony BRAVIA is dying, so I need a replacement. The nearest MC is an hour away and I just can't take the chance that the refurbished unit I buy needs to be returned.

I've had OLEDs for nearly 10 years now and my cats have never shown an interest in scratching or otherwise messing with them.
I have one cat that couldn't care less and one that has scratched my bedroom OLED TV.

I read ***CL denotes for costco? Does that mean that this model is a returned product from Costco?

Quote from eysikal :
Is this Sony model really still that much better at upscaling content than the LG C3?

Asking sincerely since I do watch a lot of content on TV like sports. And I think ESPN is always 720p
I think the my Sony A80j upscale is real, YoutubeTV is now streaming 1080p 60fps on some channels and it does look very good. Noticeable next to my old TCL 6 series, football should be good. So YMMV depending on stream source. I agree with the OP, better than the LG. I mostly use streaming boxes to get around the Google TV UI.

What's the difference between refurb vs open box? Is one "better" than the other when it comes to oled tv?
