Excellent deal at BB on Sony A8h 55" OLED

$1099.
This is between $700-$800 less than anywhere else right now. Can't get in-store. Must order for delivery, which is free.
This is a great deal. The Verge

Anyone that picked up that open box for $605 got an insane deal.

If it was an open box and not a store demo with 13,000 hours on it like the Sony A9G that I bought for $1100 and then took back after I had been told it was a customer return.

I was debating on purchasing this exact model using a Sony's employee discount at $999 because my 14 year old Sharp Aquos is on its' last leg.

I bought this over a month ago for $1200. Great deal and love the TV!

It's back up to $1899.00 on Best Buy's website and app, now.

I finally got my set in on Tuesday. At first I was disappointed in the image. It was too dim, colors were tending towards green with a white balance temp near 3200 kelvin.
I used D-Line's 10 point calibration numbers from AVSForum for the A8h. Holy cow! I've had an LG OLED B7a for three years. I thought that TV looked really good. This Sony, though, is sublime. Flesh tones are as close to perfect as I've seen. No bluish, reddish, purplish or green tint. It's like being among people and this is exactly how people look, naturally. It adds a sense of realism to the screen that my other OLED can't match.
Well done, Sony. Well done.

I only found the 20 point. Can you link me the 10 point one please? I want to try it.

Will look. I think it's in a different thread than the D-Line thread.
I am amazed. I expected to plug in the settings and be disappointed, but am more amazed than anything.
I used to calibrate three-tube CRT VIDEO projectors using a Sencore color calibrator, but the last time I did that was in 1999. But my eyes still know from all those years ago what looks right and what shows the slightest bit of tinge of color where it shouldn't be, plus, in my job, in what I do, we use reference monitors to analyze data from satellites. I'm used to seeing perfect color in these images.

That's actually the thread I found but didn't fully read it till yesterday. Haha.
I just calibrated my Dolby bright one and it looks even better. Definitely love this tv so far. The LG in my room is great too.

If it was an open box and not a store demo with 13,000 hours on it
Now you've got me paranoid about my open box special...

If it came with a remote, stand and the box it’s probably a true open box (ie. customer return) and you should be fine.
If it came without some of that stuff, it was probably a display model and you’re screwed.

Google: "how to find number of hours on (fill in the blank with brand and model)"
Not all TVs allow you to access this data.
