Great deal on OLED TV, bought last month for $500 or about 550 with tax. Fast shipping with FedEx.Tip: Base mount was near bottom of the box, that I was trying to find when unboxing.
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.

Had the same problem! Mount was hidden. I put in a ticket to BHphoto for a missing mount then found it. Fantastic TV for the price.

Tempted to get it, but unsure about warranty or quality.
Also using this in a mostly well lit room, so glare might be an issue.
I have an old TCL 55P605 Roku TV that just developed a magenta horizontal line across the bottom (still watchable, but irritating). I'm wondering if this would be an upgrade or if I should just stay put.
Input lag is a serious concern and there are other limitations.

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."

How are you enjoying? What's your primary use case?
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.
