                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Been thinking about your post for a bit because ive been through this cycle so many times. Over the years, I've found that the absolute best way to save on a Sony OLED isnt always just clicking buy on the shiny new 2025 model during Cyber Monday... honestly the real deals are usually hiding in the previous years stock or open-box bins. Heres what I usually do to keep the budget under control:<br><ul><br><li>Look for the high-end clearance models like the <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=Sony+BRAVIA+XR+A95L+65+inch+QD-OLED&BI=8941&KBID=10361&SID=12345&DFF=d50" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Sony BRAVIA XR A95L 65 inch QD-OLED</a> or <a href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=Sony+A90J+55+inch+OLED&BI=8941&KBID=10361&SID=12345&DFF=d50" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Sony A90J 55 inch OLED</a> since shops want that shelf space back.</li><br><li>Wait until the Tuesday after Cyber Monday for open-box deals at big box stores because tons of people realize they overspent and return their TVs immediately.</li><br><li>Use browser extensions that track price history so you know if the Cyber Monday price is actually the lowest or just a fake sale price. I once saved almost $600 on a high-end set just by picking up an open-box unit that someone returned because it wouldnt fit in their car. If youre patient and dont mind last years tech, you can get a way better tier of TV for the same price as the entry-level 2025 stuff.</li><br></ul></p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re aiming for Cyber Monday 2025 on a Sony OLED, I’d *plan the deal around the warranty/insurance first*, not just the discount – especially with OLED burn-in and panel lottery stuff.<br />
<br />
I’ve had issues with a 65&quot; Sony OLED I grabbed on a “crazy” online deal: price was great, but it was through a third‑party seller and, unfortunately, the warranty situation was way worse than I expected. Sony *technically* covered it, but:<br />
<br />
- The retailer wasn’t an **authorized dealer**, so Sony pushed back hard at first<br />
- Their “extended protection plan” excluded burn‑in, banding and dead pixel clusters (basically all the stuff I was worried about)<br />
- Returns were a nightmare because of shipping damage finger‑pointing<br />
<br />
So, for what you’re planning:<br />
<br />
1. **Stick to authorized dealers even on Cyber Monday** (Best Buy, Amazon *sold by Amazon*, Costco, etc.). Sony’s standard warranty is usually 1 year, but they’re much more chill when the invoice is from an authorized place.<br />
<br />
2. **Compare extended warranties, not just prices.**<br />
   - Costco: usually 2 years manufacturer + 1–2 extra via Costco / Visa = solid, and they’re pretty lenient.<br />
   - Best Buy: Geek Squad can be pricey, but read the fine print on burn‑in and pixel defects. Some plans *explicitly* exclude burn‑in.<br />
   - Amazon: if you go with an Allstate/SquareTrade style plan, seriously read what’s covered for OLED. A lot of them call burn‑in “image retention” and dodge it.<br />
<br />
3. **Use Cyber Monday to stack warranty + discount.** Instead of chasing the absolute lowest price, I’d look for:<br />
   - A decent discount (maybe $400–$700 off by then, if prices keep trending down)<br />
   - Plus: credit card warranty extension (some Visas/Amex double the manufacturer warranty)<br />
   - Plus: a retailer with easy returns if you get a bad panel (uniformity, dead pixels, tinting)<br />
<br />
4. **Timing trick:** check **Black Friday → Cyber Monday → the next 1–2 weeks**.<br />
   - Sometimes Best Buy/Costco will have a “Black Friday price guarantee” + better financing or warranty promo *not* strictly tied to Cyber Monday.<br />
   - So if you see a good price + bonus warranty/return terms the week *before* Cyber Monday, I’d honestly grab it instead of gambling on that one day.<br />
<br />
5. **Panel check ASAP.** Whatever day you buy:<br />
   - Unbox right away<br />
   - Run some grey slides / YouTube uniformity tests<br />
   - Check for banding, dead pixels, weird color tint<br />
   - If anything looks off, use that holiday‑season return window while it’s generous<br />
<br />
In your $1,500–$2,000 range for a 65&quot; by late 2025, I think that’s realistic *if* you’re okay with a previous‑year model on clearance. Just, in my opinion, don’t trade away:<br />
<br />
- Authorized seller status<br />
- A solid return policy (30–90 days ideally)<br />
- Reasonable burn‑in coverage via extended plan + credit card<br />
<br />
Because, tbh, the $200–$300 you “save” with some sketchy Cyber Monday seller can vanish the second you get a panel with issues and no one wants to claim responsibility.<br />
<br />
So yeah: use Cyber Monday as a **warranty + retailer sweet spot day**, not just a price day. If you can get an A80L/2025 equivalent from Costco/Best Buy at ~1.7–1.9k with 3–4 years of total coverage, that’s the combo I’d personally jump on.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey,<br />
<br />
I’ll throw in a slightly different angle: **where you live and your local conditions can seriously change how “good” a Cyber Monday Sony OLED deal is** and how safe it is to buy.<br />
<br />
**Option A – Big online retailer, average climate (US/EU, mild temps)**  <br />
Pros: usually the best headline discounts, easy price matching, decent return policies. Shipping stress is lower if you’re not in extreme heat/cold.  <br />
Cons: you’re still relying on freight handling; panel damage can happen, and you may have to re-box a 65&quot; monster for returns.<br />
<br />
**Option B – Local/regional retailer in harsher climates (very cold winters / hot &amp; humid / high altitude)**  <br />
Pros: IMO this is underrated. Shorter transport, less time in unheated/overheated trucks and warehouses. Easier to refuse delivery or inspect on-site. Some regions (e.g. very humid coastal areas) have better local support/warranty add‑ons.  <br />
Cons: discounts can be slightly worse than Amazon/Best Buy online, and stock of Sony OLEDs might be limited.<br />
<br />
**Option C – Shipping to remote/rural areas or countries with weak warranty coverage**  <br />
Pros: sometimes you can still hit your $1.5–2k target via importers.  <br />
Cons: honestly, high risk. Longer transit (temp swings aren’t great for OLED panels), more chance of rough handling, and returns can be a nightmare. I’d only do this if you’ve confirmed **in writing** how DOA panels and banding/line issues are handled.<br />
<br />
For **Cyber Monday 2025 specifically**:<br />
- In a mild climate, I’d chase the big online promos but insist on white‑glove or at least scheduled delivery and **immediate panel inspection** (dark room, gray slides, basic uniformity check).  <br />
- In very cold/hot regions, I’d consider waiting for a **post‑holiday/local promo** (January–February) when shipping volume drops and transit is a bit less chaotic. You sometimes lose $50–100 vs Cyber Monday but gain reliability.<br />
<br />
Also, check **Sony’s regional warranty terms**. In some countries, burn‑in and some panel defects are handled very differently. That can matter more than an extra $200 off.<br />
<br />
So, yeah, I’d still use Cyber Monday as your reference point for pricing, but I’d pick **where** you buy based heavily on climate + distance. A “smaller” discount from a local, climate‑sane delivery can be the better deal in the long run.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey,<br />
<br />
I’ll throw in a slightly different angle: if you’re already waiting until 2025, you might want to factor in **energy use and “eco cost” per year**, not just the Cyber Monday price.<br />
<br />
From what I’ve seen tracking sets since the A8F days, the newer Sony OLED generations have been quietly getting a bit more **power‑efficient per nit** of brightness. So:<br />
<br />
- If the 2025 mid‑range OLED is meaningfully more efficient than the A80L line, it might be worth **paying a bit more** vs grabbing a heavy‑discounted older model.<br />
- Check the **EnergyGuide / EU energy label equivalents** or wattage at SDR/HDR. Two 65&quot; Sony OLEDs can differ by ~40–60W in real use. Over 5+ years, that’s not nothing.<br />
- Be careful with “torch mode” in stores. Make sure to run in a calibrated or eco mode at home – that can chop power use a lot without killing picture quality.<br />
<br />
Also, Cyber Monday often lines up with retailers pushing “eco” promos (extended recycling, haul‑away, sometimes rebates on efficient models), so you might want to:<br />
<br />
- Look for **free haul‑away / recycling** of your old LCD – better than it ending in a random landfill.<br />
- Check if any stores bundle **extended warranty + panel protection**, so you’re not replacing the TV prematurely (huge environmental win vs a tiny power difference).<br />
<br />
In my opinion, if a 2025 Sony 65&quot; hits your $1.5–2k target and is clearly more efficient than a 2024 closeout, I’d lean current‑year. Total cost of ownership (price + energy + lifespan) usually beats the rock‑bottom clearance deal.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!</p>]]></content:encoded>
