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.
Community Reviews
This 55-inch Sansui OLED stands out for getting true OLED contrast and strong picture quality at a very low price. It is especially appealing for dark rooms, bedroom or secondary TV use, and even PC or gaming setups, with good off-angle viewing, solid upscaling, and a few hidden extras like karaoke mode and a buried metal stand. The main drawbacks are dimmer brightness in well-lit rooms, weak built-in speakers, and a slow Google TV interface with limited picture controls. Gaming support has also been inconsistent, though recent updates appear to have improved 4K 120Hz, HDR, VRR, and HDMI device detection.
The TV can support 4K 120Hz with HDR and VRR after a software update.
The TV can improve performance after an Android update to Android 14.
The TV can be used for karaoke mode by using the remote as a microphone with YouTube lyric-style videos.
The TV can be set up offline without Wi‑Fi, which can simplify initial installation.
The TV's base mount can be buried or hidden in the bottom of the box, which can make it seem missing during unboxing.
The TV can show limited HDR brightness in well-lit rooms, with HDR described as too dark.
The TV can have noticeable input lag for mouse use at 60Hz, which can hurt PC-monitor style workflows.
The TV's Google TV experience can feel slow and underpowered, and remote or input responsiveness can be unreliable.

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
