Input lag is a serious concern and there are other limitations.

"I purchased this TV when it was on sale at B&H Photo and am using it for PC and Steam Deck gaming. If you can get it on sale, it's a good bargain but there are some caveats. Supposedly it's an LG OLED panel with third-party / Chinese electronics.
First, it does support 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, VRR and 120hz. I have an NVIDIA GPU and it works with G-Sync, although I believe the TV is only advertised as being FreeSync compatible (VRR doesn't work with the Steam Deck). When you're running at 4K 120hz with VRR on, HDR will not turn on. In addition, when you're running 4K at 120hz, output is limited to YCbCr420; there is no way to enable anything higher when you're in 4k @ 120hz. I'm using an HDMI cable certified by the HDMI Forum for HDMI 2.1 support too.
Second, 60hz input lag from computer is not great. My Steam Deck while docked is not bad running at 60hz, but the input lag is noticeable if you're trying to use it as a PC monitor and moving the mouse. 120hz input lag is really low, however.
Third, don't expect any firmware updates. I haven't received any. The TV runs Google TV but it's an older version when compared to my BRAVIA 8. The settings are extremely bare bones and there's really no way to calibrate anything here. You can't do anything other than basic adjustments like color temperature, brightness, motion handling, etc.
I have a Roku Ultra and 4K Blu-ray player hooked up and it has very good image quality / upscaling when watching movies or TV shows; even low-res content isn't bad.
If you're looking for a dedicated PC monitor, you'll want to get something that can do 120hz with YCbCr444 and HDR enabled and has extremely low input lag. I have a regular monitor that I use for PC work."
Hidden feature on this TV is karaoke mode where you can use the tv remote as a microphone and just load up youtube music videos or lyric or karaoke style video.

This Sansui OLED stands out as a very cheap way to get OLED picture quality, especially for dark rooms, bedrooms, or other secondary setups. The panel gets strong contrast, good off angle viewing, and solid movie upscaling, and it can even work well as a PC display or gaming screen when the settings cooperate. The main drawbacks are the slow Google TV software, limited picture controls, and weaker brightness and HDR in well lit rooms. The heavy base is hidden in the box, and recent updates have improved some HDMI 120 hertz and HDR behavior, making it a more capable budget OLED than the price suggests.
Common Questions (5)
The built-in Google TV can be very slow and underpowered, and some owners improve it by using an external streamer or a third-party launcher. The remote is Bluetooth-capable, but if it is not paired correctly it may fall back to IR and require pointing at the TV.
It can work for gaming and computer use, but 60Hz input lag is noticeable for mouse use and the HDMI 2.0 ports limit gaming to 60Hz. A later update reportedly improved HDMI EDID reporting, and another update enabled 4K 120Hz with HDR and VRR, but PC-monitor use still depends on the current firmware and setup.
Yes, the base mount is included, but it can be buried at the bottom of the box and easy to miss during unboxing. If it seems absent, check the lower packaging before contacting support.
It is strongest in dark rooms and can look too dim in well-lit spaces, especially for HDR. Switching out of Eco mode into Movie mode and adjusting settings can help, but a brighter room still favors a brighter TV.
Yes. It runs Google TV based on Android, which allows side-loading and installing apps that are unavailable on locked-down TV platforms like Tizen or LG OS.

If you're just looking for a spare TV for a bedroom, loft, etc - this is a crazy good price for an OLED panel. But that's kinda it for the pros.
If you're wanting this as your main TV, I would recommend spend a bit more for something better.
Brightness Level - great in dark rooms, decent (but a bit low) in well lit rooms, HDR is not good and too dark.
Software - slow af (you will want to beat your head on the wall), recommend pairing with an external streaming device, extremely limited in terms of what you can do to adjust picture settings
Hardware - remote is IR so you must point it at the tv for it to work, speakers get loud but quality is maybe a 5/10
tldr; great price for an OLED Panel, everything else is frustratingly bad. Am I happy with it? Yes, for my use case. Would I buy another one? No

Have a pretty light TV right now, at 15-20 pounds.
Not sure if my cheap furniture can take the weight.
Any notable Pros/Cons that you can point out?
Would love to hear your opinions on it! Seems like a real bargain, but with major cut corners and caveats.
Out of the box, I like that you can set up the TV offline without Wi‑Fi, as I did. I attached my Onn Pro 4K streaming device. I primarily use it for streaming movies, shows, Twitch livestreams, and sports, most recently the NBA Finals and the current FIFA World Cup. I don't use it for gaming.
It sounds pretty decent and loud, so I don't think I need an additional soundbar. I was debating between this and a TCL QM5 or QM6, which my family member has and recommended. The TCL is brighter, which is good if it's going to be in a room with sunlight or brighter lighting.
I hope this TV lasts a long time. My previous Chinese TV, the LeEco Super4 X55, which I found on Slickdeals and bought in 2017 worked fine, but the backlight gave out a few months ago.

The Sansui has Google TV which is based on Android and allows side loading and installation of any app I want including that one. As far as how it worked we are generally very happy with it, viewing off angle is no longer a problem and for the most part it brings most of the OLED goodness that OLED TV's bring. It has decent build quality and comes with a metal center stand although we wall mounted it. The Google TV OS is somewhat slower and laggier than the Tizen OS the Samsung had. The picture is not as bright as our LG B5 but plenty bright enough.
We don't use it for gaming which is a good thing because even though it has a 120 Hz panel, the ports are HDMI 2.0 not 2.1 so it would top out at 60 Hz for gaming so I wouldn't recommend it, not even for console gamers. It has served us well, there are no burn-in issues with it, but if I had to do it all over again I would have bought one of the Best Buy open box LG B4 that were available shortly thereafter for a couple hundred dollars more.
Overall though it performs like an OLED, for our use plenty bright and at the time $600 was cheap. At $400 to me it's almost a no-brainer compared to a $400 LCD. If someone intends on using one of these for something other than a kitchen TV or small room, I would highly recommend a sound bar. At $400 I liked it enough to pick one up on this deal to replace the 43-in in my garage workshop but read the reviews, YMMV depending on what you prioritize, for me and our use it was overall picture quality and off angle viewing.
HDR 2/5
Sound Quality 2/5
Data Privacy 3/5
Color accuracy falls short
Very limited HDR performance
I have one of the 48 inch $500 B4s from an SD deal about a year back and OLED really is pretty nice, even on the cheap end. Sadly, now my eyes are instantly drawn to and annoyed by virtually any level of backlight glow on other displays.
