I picked one up yesterday and it looks and operates like brand new. Mine came in the original box with some electrical tape over some serial numbers and "Refurbished - 90 Day Warranty Applies." Otherwise, like new.

The LG C3 was recently the same price at Microcenter, but I prefer the Sony for a number of reasons which may make it more appealing to you, too. First, the Sony's stand is height adjustable. Second, the Sony's built-in speakers are much, much better. Third, Google TV is miles ahead of WebOS. Fourth, the remote is much, much better than the Magic Wand. Fifth, Sony's video processing is much better on the 720P and 1080P content that will make up most of your TV watching. Finally, Sony just builds better TVs than anyone, in my experience. Yes, the panel is LG, but the caps and soldering are still Sony quality.

The LG, on the other hand, has four HDMI 2.1 inputes vs. 2 on the Sony. It gets a little brighter, and the anti-reflective coating is more effective. Both are great sets, but the Sony at this price was too tempting to pass up.

Microcenter offers extended warranties on these. I may pick up the 3-year with screen protection - I have a cat and he is very, very stupid. As usual, this is in-store only, so YMMV.

Good luck!

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

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.
