It does have a shipping fee of $130 but you could also pick up in-store.

The 55" version is also discounted on various stores for $2495 on most stores but VideoPro seems to be the cheapest by $50

        With so close to April (around the time the new models launch in the USA) i suspect this is probably the last batches coming through. You could wait to see for more sales but its a risk of stock.

        Sorry for the ignorance but are there tv discounts/price wars coming up soon?

        The electronics industry has followed the auto industry and adopted a yearly release cycle for marque products. This means as you approach the new release dates, the old stock goes on sale.

        Yeah, I agree. People know what conditions the TV will be in and used for: size and brightness of room; playing games or not and what content is watched - movies, sport, free to air etc. Do a little research and read or watch a few reviews as apposed to asking random people their opinion.

          I was on the fence yesterday but when I called my local HN they gave me the C1 77" for $5100, the A80J unfortunately they couldn't go below the 5995 price. I bought the C1, I'm sure the a80j is a bit better but not at $900!

            @Bogan Timmy: Lucky you I got mine for $5450, yeah on rtings the Sony its rated 0.1 better but people carry on like the Sony is "light years" better 🤣🤦‍♂️

            • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2022 - 14:56

              @solidussnake: Lg has essentially released the same Oled TV for 3 years running…the C9 is actually brighter than C1 and full bandwidth 48Gbps not 40gbps….
              Only this year's C2 features an improved processor and reverts back to full bandwidth with the promise of an EVO panel….btw all 77" model C1's and A80J's have EVO only the smaller sizes are a lottery but if it has pink tinting it's EVO..there's a serial number on box has an EVO identifier too

              You may as well get a C9 or Cx if you can find one

      • 1st-Amendment on 17/02/2022 - 12:12

    • solidussnake on 17/02/2022 - 09:19

      https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-type/oled

      C1 still rated the best OLED so far, superior upscaling/processor is laughable although colour accuracy out of the box I tend to agree but it takes two seconds to use recommend online profiles anyway and the android os isn't the best or the remote.

      Depends what price you can get each for

        I have the Sony A90J coming from LG C9 and CX…its no contest and the A80J and A90J are pretty damn close sharing the same XR processor..
        Also if your in the minority with both a PS5 and XBSX you can buy a HDMI 2.1 splitter on Amazon for $30 to add more ports…VRR is coming in update but not needed in my experience as consoles use adaptive synch technology..gaming is not an excuse to prefer the C1

      • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2022 - 10:12

        Last year's C1 were a panel lottery to get an 'EVO' panel and even one that were had a software restriction….Sony A80J EVO's had no restriction and also a full 48Gbps bandwidth….Evo is more power efficient and has better longevity with less chance of burn in
        I'd pay a little more for the Sony myself

                • Stivo on 17/02/2022 - 14:38

                  @klif-e: Apparently the only way to know is to use a calibration camera/tool to see what the specs of the screen are. There is zero outside markings which give it away.

              • JL1 on 17/02/2022 - 14:59

                @Astronaut Joe: I was referring to the 65" only I mean. But I am pretty sure reading that the 65" didn't come with evo panel at all when it released but the 77 did.

                I don't think they have ever put the evo panel in an a80j. Correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen it stated online.

                • Astronaut Joe on 17/02/2022 - 15:17
                  +2

                  @JL1: While never officially confirmed, numerous reviews - and unofficially by Sony reps - have all stated that the 77" A80J has the evo panel. Vincent has also categorically stated that all 77s are evos. I can confirm that mine has the distinctive purple reflective tinge that is a giveaway for the panel.

                  In the US when the 65" first came out, some were appearing with the evo panel and some without; it was a tossup as to which one you would get. Over time though they all moved to using the evo. Given the delay in the sets being released in Australia the odds were that you would get an updated one, but first adopters may have got one of the older models. If you bought now you would be getting new stock.

                  I don't know what the story is on the 55". I never bothered looking into the smaller models.

          • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2022 - 14:53

            @Spectre7: You get an EVO panel on A80J it actually benefits from it…as stated C1 with EVO has software restriction, only the G1 benefits

            • JL1 on 17/02/2022 - 15:01

              @[Deactivated]: Your A90J has the evo panel though and heatsink to take advantage of it too I think. Don't know about evo in 65 a80j

                65" and 55" you can tell by serial number on box or if it has a pink tinting to the screen on full white screen

                • JL1 on 17/02/2022 - 15:19

      Not side by side comparison by any means, but when I go to the JB HI Fis, I've always thought the Sony OLED looks better than the LG ones. I always thought those zingy names for their chips, upscaling techs and processors were all mostly marketing, but it seems in this case Sony was able to make a difference in performance.

    • pakkapie on 17/02/2022 - 11:49

      • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2022 - 15:08

        I wouldn't waste my money on a C1 no matter how much cheaper it is…new models have updated processor and guaranteed EVO ,full bandwidth 48Gbps..this year's G2 and Sony QD-Oled has heatsinks….get a good 5 year warranty if you go C1

        Paid $3300 which at the time was a good price compared to the advertised price from the major players.

          TGG took down the page, you might be able to score it in store but other commenters said up to a six week wait on stock. Have to pick it up or pay for delivery.

          Sony currently has a free delivery offer, in stock now and potentially can get 7% cashback (if approved). Wouldn't bank on the CB but even without it's a great deal.

            @HUNTER4vr: Ah wow, I managed to get it with TGG this morning and have my order in. Let's see how long the wait time is.

    Looks like a pricing error and was taken down.

    I saw this when it was live and I was very tempted but still holding out for the LG G1 price drop on the 65”, won’t reach this level but hopefully around $3,100

    Guys just a heads up, if any of you put the item on checkout, it might still be saved there.

      If they out of stock and it's EOL I don't see them getting the product tho

    I'm sorry but my 2019 Panasonic Oled still reign supreme over these peasants Oled in term of picture quality.

      Cool story, explains why they're still around.

        He probably also has a 720 or 1080p Pioneer Kuro plasma that he bangs on about every now and then.

          You guys are so salty and envy cos of my Panasonic Oled which you cannot get anymore. Watch HDTVTest. Panasonic won best TV every year.

          To be fair 1080p Pioneer Kuro pretty cool, used to see more on gumtree but now not much of the later models for sale.

  • Stivo on 17/02/2022 - 11:10

    What!?!?! Sold out already? Was it the last model in the warehouse or something?

  • scottkd on 17/02/2022 - 11:14

    Ended up getting one from the good guys (it was in my shopping cart but the link had stopped working by then). They called me and said it would be a 1-6 week wait because it wasn't in stock…. after it said 3-7 days on the website for delivery.
