It looks near as good as OLED as far as colors are concerned. It is also able to provide very bright light. The local dimming on this is very good in black scenes where there is bright light in the scene. The downside is you will see some blooming in scenes with yellow lights especially if you have it on high.
Cinemotion should be on to use motionflow and that should be set to your preference to remove judder. It works really well, there is some artifacting at times. Since I game at >60fps, I hope some day movies switch to high frame rate as well.
Live color at least on low with peak brightness on high are neat features if you want bright lights to look real. Die hard was really cool with police lights looking life like and the ricochets and flash lights were super bright and incredible to experience.
The upside to the tv of great viewing angles like a OLED is also one of the biggest downsides to the tv due to the rainbow film on it. If you have any sort of lights in front of the tv you will see rainbow reflections. Also interestingly if you lay on your side and look at the tv you will see more blooming. You cannot use any cleaners on the film or you will ruin it.
The acoustic center sync feature is decent. First you will hear a speaker on hiss at all times if you use it. The unfortunate part about it is it only uses the atmos tweeters towards the top back of the tv. It makes the sound very thin and high treble especially if backed against sheetrock . I liked the sound stage it provided with a HTA7000 but hated the treble in the tv so I muffled the speakers to tone it down. I like that you can use the tv menu to control the Sony soundbars.
The Google tv app only mode is nice but I don't use the Google side of it because it's too dim and no way to brighten it outside of an app. The tv seems to work well with the Apple TV 4K on Dolby vision. Some random speaker pops on the hta7000 with it though. Atmos content works well especially with the tv center sync but I'm not impressed by Sonys immersive AE and 360 spatial on non atmos audio and turn it all off.
For gaming it works fine on 120hz and VRR with the PS5 Pro. The auto tone mapping feels gimmicky and I couldn't notice much difference. I did find most games seemed dark so I had to use the advanced contrast enhancer feature to brighten the scene (I also use it on Dolby vision). The menu will show it's in VRR but will not display current fps.
Overall I'd say it's worth this price due to the near oled visuals, but any higher price I'd go for oled to avoid the rainbow reflections and blooming.

I'm curious about this as well.

Never let them mount it. They'll send two random guys off the street, cheapest they can find. I had to undo a bunch of damage to my wall.

Pretty sure these will go for 1000 in a couple of months.
