Sony Bravia A8H OLED TV - 65" for $2699 and 55" for $1999

Deal Link:: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/so ... h/14547307
Price:: $2699.99
Expiry:: January 7, 2021

This price is no longer an all time low for this model, but it's still a good deal. This TV doesn't have HDMI 2.1 like the LG CX OLED's (also on sale at BB right now), but it features Sony's X1 ultimate processor and 120 Hz X-motion Clarity (BFI) for better image processing and motion handling over the CX imo.

It's the same price at BestBuy.ca, Costco.ca, Visions.ca, London Drugs, and Amazon.ca. This price is valid until January 7th on Costco's website.

That doesn't mean much at Costco. They change prices regardless all the time.

Costco is good. Much better than most other retailers.

I’d trust what they state in their ads.

Is this an android tv still?

Considering buying the 65 which Would be an upgrade in size.

Thanks OP. 65 inch with extended warranty seems good price at Costco. Ordered, will price adjust later if it changes. FYI: availability seems to based on your postal code.

If going in a room with lots of open windows better to avoid oled?

Good price for 65" OLED TV
That HDMI 2.1 fiasco is overhyped and too new to care IMO.
Sony definitely has the upper hand for movies and everyday TV watching.

If you buy a tv from Costco.CA and the price goes down within the 30? 90 days? are you able to price adjust it even if the tv goes out of stock?

In another thread there was a handful of us who purchased a TV from Costco and requested price adjustment / refund when the price dropped online - and this was with it being out of stock (so not even showing up on the site). Key thing here is to keep an eye on it, and if there's a drop, take a screenshot.

Definitely possible to get price adjustment within 30 days. Likely YMMV for 90 days - though with possibility of return they may just offer the adjustment instead.

Do you say this in reference to LG OLED TVs, or just other TVs in general?

Why wouldn't you care if you were going to hook up a PS5, XSX or a PC to the screen? It's got variable rate refresh, that's handy if you want to have no screen tearing. It also switches in and out of a low-latency mode, which is handy if you use the same device for games and for movies. If you aren't a gamer there's no point, but it's a pretty nice boost if you are - enough that you shouldn't buy a high-end TV without it in my opinion.

anyone thinking of getting OLED warranty coverage (which is only avaialble at BB) or just the $99 at Costco and hope for the best?

if you live in a 1 bedroom condo, would you go for 55" or 65". Technically, the 65" is the 55" without the discount.. I've been following this TV for months now lol
